What about committing your current driver to the CVS? And we lack a  
driver for satellite receiver cards... anyone with some ideas  
regarding this?

You could have a look at http://www.networkmultimedia.org/ and give it  
a try on FreeBSD. I did see it in action ~4-5 years ago on Linux  
systems when it was in the middle of the core development (there's  
still development, but now it's about new features).

NMM does more than that. Multicast streaming, video walls, on-the-fly  
(re)encoding to serve your PDA, ...

Bye,
