I agree that it is convenient to have the vdr and dvb packages in SuSE 9.1.
At least as a starting point.

However, on my two SuSE 9.1-based vdr machines, I ended up using my own
vdr (because SuSE 9.1 comes with vdr 1.2.6 and I like the latest, vdr 1.3.11)
and my own dvb drivers (in one machine because the SuSE init scripts activates
only one of my two cards, in the other machine I am using a self-compiled
2.6.7 kernel anyway, because it is nfsroot, which does not work with SuSEs
default kernel).
