I have a Hauppage PVR-350 thats workin great on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE, although I havent checked in a year or so :) " But looking at the Hauppauge site , although it has a mpeg2 decoder, its used on record & playback. We still have analog TV here for the next three years, so I could put an analog card back in. What I am finding a little surprising is the difference between supported devices between FreeBSD and the variety of linux Distros. OK the number of users is a lot lower, but maybe something like ndiswrapper so that linux drivers could be used , wouldn't be a bad idea, and probably not too difficult.. Both DVB-T and DVB-S are going to be important to get going especially now so many countries are changing over to it. -- Best Wishes Richard Bown ---- ################################################## OS: FreeBSD 7.0, AMD64 x2 Dual Core 4400+, 8GB RAM HAM CALL: G8JVM, QRA IO82SP, located 75 kms NE Birmingham UK QRV HF + all bands 50 MHz to 10 GHZ www.software-radio.org.uk ##################################################
