Fellow FreeBSD Fans,

I have an ooooooooold Hauppauge PVR-250 card I've recently been trying to
get working with FreeBSD without success.  Considering its age maybe I
should retire it and upgrade.  

Does anyone have any recommendations for an inexpensive FreeBSD friendly
video capture card or USB video capture device?  I'm mainly interested in
using it for capturing from VHS tapes.  I don't really need a tuner.  I
dropped cable years ago and mostly watch old shows on DVD or VHS tape.
