Hello FreeBSD-Hackers,

I have 3 cards to be given away, $129 value. There is a catch -- you need t=
o volunteer to port the card to FreeBSD and make your modifications publica=
lly available. Join and contribute to an open source effort to enable Video=
4Linux drivers to run on BSD here:

http://video4bsd.sourceforge.net/

You will need:
- Access to NTSC/ATSC broadcast signals. (US, Canada, S.Korea, ..).
- A FreeBSD development system
- Also, a Linux development system with Video4Linux and full kernel source =
for reference might be helpful.

The HD-5500 Hi Definition Television PCI Card is an universal PCI 2.2 compl=
iant card. The card receives NTSC, ATSC and Cable/QAM Signals and converts =
them to digital streams which are transported across the PCI bus. Display a=
nd MPEG2 decoding are done on the host computer in software and displayed o=
n the computers monitor. The pcHDTV HD-5500 Hi Definition PCI card is based=
 on the 5th generation LG ATSC receiver chips and Conexant's CX23883 NTSC r=
eceiver chip providing excellent HD and SD reception.
