Hi I suggest you find out first what type of capture chipset you have (ie BrookTree (bt878, 848 etc) or something else) and then configure your kernel with that device (it's easy to do it, just look at /sys/i386/conf/LINT). Reboot after installing the new kernel and see what it reports about capture cards... If your capture device is detected, then you can make the respective device in /dev using sh MAKEDEV. Then shoot up your favourite tv tuner application (I guess that's fxtv, I don't know of any other for FreeBSD). I'm not sure how linuxvideo could help, but I will look at it for my problem with fxtv. Thanks for the tip :) Hope this helps, Claudiu. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald T.
