Well, I just recently added support for dual or more Bt848 cards for
that True Peaceful FreeBSD couch potatoe experience. It just makes it
easier to manage those annoying commercial breaks.

Just tested over here and it seems to be working okay . Had to patch
the driver a little bit but it is okay now.

Just got a wincast/tv , the $139 deal (it has cable, dbx, etc..) got
it at Frys in Palo Alto, California.

BTW: Anyone know where can I get an Intel Smart Video Recorder III in 
Silicon Valley. I just lost my clients one and I have to replace it.
I bought my Intel Smart Video Recorder at a mail order place and I am
not in the mood for long delays in shipment.

	Tnks,
