I'm not sure if the FreeBSD driver supports the TV-out of the card, but if I'm no mistaken then there's a 'passthrough' option in the card hardware, where the stream is sent directly from the decoder to the TV-out again. Again, I'm not sure if the FreeBSD driver supports that, but I think to remember that one of the latest Linux drivers is able to activate it. cheers, le -- Lukas Ertl http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/ le@FreeBSD.org http://people.freebsd.org/~le/
