I have a Matrox Marvel G400 and would like to be able to use the TV tuner functions on FreeBSD 4.5, currently have XFree86 4.1 and the Matrox drivers working fine. Am I correct that currently my hardware and FreeBSD 4.5 will not do TV functions ? And if so, does this new VIDIX technology present a possible way to get the TV tuner working with FreeBSD? Using a VCR to feed the Matrox card so channel changing is not an issue.
