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.
