You should go for the latest driver in -current. It does not compile on 2.2.7 but you can find anversion which does at ftp://vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/22x The 878 is really an 848 with a few extras. The extras are not used in the FreeBSD driver at this time, so we just refer to the driver as 848. The 878 does not work in the 2.2.7 driver but does in the new driver on -current. > Meanwhile, 'man vic' doesn't list the WinTV card The FreeBSD driver emulates the Matrox Meteor capture card interface and simply requires replacing one of the vic files with a file located on the Bt848 Project Home Page.
