Hi folks. Due to a scary power disaster [1] at home last week, I need to buy a new TV tuner card. Do we now have working tuner audio routing for any of the current Hauppauge cards? I miss the Cartoon Network! :-) My old card was an older bt848 card, which didn't have one of the newer unsupported MSP chips. Daniel ~~~~~~ [1] high winds caused a power line to come down in my backyard, and the power cable hit the cable coax on its way down, and the cable bozos didn't properly ground the coax outside so the current went right into mt bt848 card, melting the outer casing as well as much of the dielectric, roasted the Hauppauge connector and generally made a mess of things. Amazingly, it didn't fry my whole machine, and in fact my Hauppauge card still works but the tuner is now producing noise on my monitor that I can't tolerate (funky intensity waviness across the whole screen) and my Matrox Millenium II is also damaged slightly (signal now 'breathing' so my screen wobbles a tad on the right hand side :-() To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
