You should remember the 'main aim' of FreeBSD is to support services, so DVB-T, which became important in Linux because of the large number of desktop users asking/developing such features, would not be such a high priority in BSD. Of course, the number one priority in FOSS is 'what do I want to work on', and if someone with enough desire and skill decides they do want to work on it, then it will be done.... otherwise it probably won't :) Tom --=-jBtPDlAfPR9lfjuLkbm0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkggdNYACgkQlcRvFfyds/c7DQCfSay7SmVypO+K3YmLCwFPeyib 2tkAoLCsHd9blTUjjLpriuXXN+YDjdlf =DA8u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-jBtPDlAfPR9lfjuLkbm0--
