Stefan Walter: |Are there any known success stories with satellite tuners + FreeBSD? It |looks like there aren't any cards with one of the supported Brooktree |chipsets (corrections very welcome), and I wasn't able to find any hints |to working cards, yet. | |Is everyone using a satellite receiver + ordinary TV card instead? Yeah, that's what I used to do when I had DSS. As I recall the remote is radio rather than IR so it wasn't that inconvenient to just keep one in the computer room and switch the tuner from across the house. Are there radio-controller-transmitting satellite TV tuner cards for PCs? Or external serial/parallel/USB devices which function as satellite remotes?
