Obviously the Xtasy is the better card, I have an AIW card and _I_think_ AIW card is best for TV because it get live colors, scaling is done by hardware (from my tests bt based cards has a maximun resolution of 768x576), and more important it doesn't saturate the pci bus with rawvideo transfers (tunner and video card are in the same board), during file transfers between disks I can see as the TV image is slowed on BrookTree cards until the heavy disk transfers finish. > but are either of these > supported under FreeBSD for TV Tuning, or would I be better off just > leaving these two for some other flavor of Multimedia box? To see TV programs just launch both tuners and decide by yourself with which card you feel more conformable, for recording you will need the BrookTree card. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d- s+:+() a- C+++ UBL+++$ P+ L+++ E--- W++ N+ o++ K- w--- O+ M+ V- PS+ PE+ Y++ PGP+>+++ t+ 5 X+$ R- tv-- b+++ DI D++>+++ G++ e- h+(++) !r !z ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ [-- Attachment #2 --] 0a *H R0N1 0 + 0 *H 0W0 0 *H 0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA0 040728101619Z 050728101619Z0I1 0 UThawte Freemail Member1&0$ *H JoseM.Fandino@fadesa.es00 *H 0 7T z8&O ҖF/ J yf6>ol[ ozMƉ p:2 bƣ2Dyv[ ;.N%\^"W~>oC 4020"U 0JoseM.Fandino@fadesa.es0 U 0 0 *H dZ1 _:Q/C, `z?K]VK玢XE2!+V2\4 k <Ȝ\s%n"?x&[-=K)5dl#XO0?0 0 *H 01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Cape Town10U Thawte Consulting1(0&U Certification Services Division1$0"UThawte Personal Freemail CA1+0) *H personal-freemail@thawte.com0 030717000000Z 130716235959Z0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA00 *H 0 Ħ<UsUNʙZ hup [v :aQP 0cZ,p+Z?qV˯< 6$*+w=+>@dקe*TH<a@ dr` 00U 0 0CU <0:08642http://crl.thawte.com/ThawtePersonalFreemailCA.crl0 U 0)U "0 0 10UPrivateLabel2-1380 *H HP . fgCL!6 -6/ P p<ab:~ t%Pb'qW%ݩ9 Oe_N4[5MwV!x!5$ F]_eO100i0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA 0 + z0 *H 1 *H 0 *H 10 0 *H 0 *H 1 041108161415Z0# *H 1'ܶӆǨ3%0 *H i}:z)4< "&,h |i/0;{6 ԪdI nϙTzp=٦ckdߦ2Sy1}Aý2zu]EFN GSOW_;Q
