X-BeenThere: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Multimedia discussions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 13:57:24 -0000 I'm looking at setting up a multimedia center PC, and I'd like to base it off of BSD, but the problem is that TV Tuners are hard to find with drivers, and HD Tuners even worse. Anyone know which of these would be easier to write drivers for? One looks to be Phillips, one looks to be Connexant (examing the windows driver files), dunno about the rest http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815100140 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815325001 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815326001 (If I could get a low profile bracket for this, I'd prefer that option) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815116310 (preferrably not, bad experiences with ATI) Thanks, -Jim Stapleton
