I hear ya, so this is still a love/work in progress I gather? -thats fine, 
we all love a challenge.

yup.
I did portscan fetch;portscan extract; portscan update
that should do it right ?, or is there a special "usleepless" update 
available?
umm, trying to make sense of other threads here, does this mean install 
FreeBSD 5.3 ? (is that the alternative for now?), ...

uhh ok, well thats' a small letdown, should I use the pvr250 ( they both 
look the same to me pvr250/xxx ?) or maybe (on a dry-humour note)we could 
remind these hardware manuf. giants that "sales" mean "sell as many cards as 
you can and ignore FUD by big green machines !"... drivers,... for everyone. 
  -ya I know :) Alice in sum wunder.
>HTH

thanks fo the above tip and,
mine is:
[rick at tiger ~]$ pciconf -lv | grep -B 4 video
none0 at pci2:10:0:        class=0x040000 card=0x40000070 chip=0x08034444 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Conexant Inc (Was: Globespan, ICompression Inc)'
    device   = 'iTVC15/CX23415 MPEG Codec'
    class    = multimedia
    subclass = video

and, (for lspci)
[rick at tiger ~]$ sudo lspci -v
"...
02:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2 
Encoder (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR-350
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 21
        Memory at f4000000 (32-bit, prefetchable)
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
..."

it sounds close to me ?, am I reading this wrong, but how did you get 
"yours'" working (or did you?) being you have the same cx23415 chip 
(PVR-350) set I have -or is this a tuner specific fullfilment that is not 
supported?
...sorry, see what I mean, .. stumped again
:)

and thanks again for being patient about all this.
-you guys are supportively awesome, and anything i can do for da' cause just 
let me know.

Rick.
