Is there a TV-Tuner card (that works under FreeBSD!) which can tune to RF-input with any of the world's TV standards? Or, do I need to open up my PC and switch out the card when I travel to Europe/USSR/USA/Japan/... Please post your success and failure stories about TV-Tuner cards here! While we're at it, has anyone been able to get any of the USB TV tuners working with FreeBSD? ------------------ I'll go first with a failure story. I bought a Zogis "Real Angel 220 PCI Analog TV Tuner" http://www.zogis.com/main_products_series_tv_tuner_PCI_RA220.htm The box claims it supports PAL-BG/DK/I/M/N, NTSC, SECAM However, I peeled-back the sticker covering the TV-tuner canister on the board and discovered the part number "TNF 5535-MF" which appears to be an NTSC-only part. Using KBTV ( http://freebsd.ricin.com/kbtv/ ) the composite input works OK. However when I connect an antenna and attempt a channel scan -- the program hangs. Best Regards, -- Fritz Katz
