Support for the Unicable variant of DiSEqC is not yet integrated in
MythTV, a patch is available at http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9726

I don't know how to build packages with a patch on OpenSuse, but on
Ubuntu/Mythbuntu it is super easy.

Maybe there is an equaly simple way on OpenSuse or you can install 
Mythbuntu on a test system before you upgrade your main system.
