Hi, list! I just got my PVR250 and I've been able to get it working with the /usr/ports/multimedia/pvr250 port, using `mplayer /dev/cxm0 ` Yippee! I've also complied and given up on mythtv ... it compiles fine, but I get this error about V4L not working in this OS. Someone mentioned a patch to get Video4Linux working on FreeBSD, but I'm weary from trying to find it :) Next I moved to /usr/ports/multimedia/freevo, and I'm pretty excited about that ... except for the fact that freevo doesn't seem to provide the facility to just watch a channel. I think for my needs `mplayer /dev/cxm0` works fine, except I can't change channels. When I try `pvr250-setchannel <newchannel>` I get 'Device busy' if mplayer is running. How can I get pvr250-setchannel to work while mplayer has /dev/cxm0 locked? Maybe a shell that interoperates between pvr250-setchannel and some player? But ... if anyone knows how to get freevo to view an arbitrary channel, that'd be cool, too. Thanks, lane
