Hi Tom

in the mail from Rick Nekus, he mentions
"
-For the conexant/Huappage stuff check out the "pvrxxx" FreeBSD port and/or serch the subject threads here.
I have a Hauppage PVR-350 thats workin great on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE, although I havent checked in a year or so :)
"
But looking at the Hauppauge site , although it has a mpeg2 decoder, its
used on record & playback.
We still have analog TV here for the next three years, so I could put
an analog card back in.
What I am finding a little surprising is the difference between
supported devices between FreeBSD and the variety of linux Distros.
OK the number of users is a lot lower, but maybe something like
ndiswrapper so that linux drivers could be used , wouldn't be a bad
idea,
and probably not too difficult..
Both DVB-T and DVB-S are going to be important to get going especially
now so many countries are changing over to it.
