We did the latest/greatest 2.2.7 + cvsup and the current WinTV
card is recognized and probed okay. However, 'fxtv' does not
display any video, with either a noteworthy pcmcia-kit camera
or a Sony handycam as input. The TV (antenna) input gives static
(no antenna, so no surprise there) so maybe it works but a video
feed just gives (keeps) a blue screen. fxtv doc (that there is)
still refers to bt848, not bt878. ...?

Meanwhile, 'man vic' doesn't list the WinTV card, or much of
anything vaguely current ... I get the impression that mbone
development is about where it was 2 years ago. Just say "yup uhuh"
and it means the video mbone tools need a hacker to bring them
up to date if the FreeBSD-supported video and MBONE-supported
video is to have a nonempty intersection ... sigh, etc.
