The latest driver bt848 is at rah.star-gate.com:/pub/bt848-clip.tar.gz Please do get this version if you decide to get a WinCast TV . Officially, it is part of FreeBSD 3.0-current and you can compile the driver on 2.2 however with earlier versions of freebsd it will not compile. Whats great about the WinCast TV is that they are cheap about $120 and they are excellent PCI video capture boards plus they come with a tuner so combine with fxtv you can turn your PC into a TV 8) Do a net search with netscape to locate your nearest dealer which carries WinCast TVs.
