You may have problems with the heavily patched vendor kernels when 
trying to compile/load the DVB drivers. I am running SuSE 8.0, and got 
missing references when loading the DVB modules on the 8.0 standard 
kernel. An unmodified kernel 2.4.20 worked. Presently I am running the 
SuSE 8.1 kernel on my 8.0, that's working too. So a SuSE 8.1 should be 
fine.
