The first thing we need is good tuner support in BSD.  Nothing against the
Hauppauge PVR150/500 cards, but IIRC they are analog-only cards.  Analog
broadcasts are going away soon, so we need support for DIGITAL tuners.

The second thing we need is video output support, including at least XvMC.

MythTV is 3rd priority at most.
