i am out of current knowledge about common TV for about 10 years.

Currently in Poland there is aerial TV broadcasted in DVB-T standard. 
There are TVs with builtin decoder/demodulator or separate 
decoders/demodulator with HDMI output.

But how about just receiving demodulated data and letting mplayer play it, 
and - most importantly - recording it directly. I know there are USB 
receivers on market.

Are such devices supported under FreeBSD? if so -  what driver, what 
chipset to look when buying such a thing? any other recommendation.

With analog TV broadcast there were PCI cards with brooktree chipset that 
worked with FreeBSD.

Thank you very much
