I can change it to 99(/dev/bktr99), and will still run. And mplayer will always display (/dev/bktr0) video. It's must be ignoring the device input, I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. mplayer -tv device=/dev/bktr1,tuner=/dev/tuner1:driver=bsdbt848:input=1:chanlist=europe-west tv:// mplayer -tv device=/dev/bktr3:driver=bsdbt848:input=1:chanlist=europe-west tv:// This is the latest port versions installed gmencoder-0.1.0_10 mplayer-0.99.11_8 mplayer-skins-1.1.2_6 Thanks lou
