The BT8xx-Cards are very different devices ... they supply raw video and don't directly digitize audio. The PVR 250 / 350 cards supply MPEG audio / video. Applications for the BT8xx-Cards will not work for the PVR 250 / 350 cards. MPlayer currently works with the cxm driver as long as you have a way of setting the channel (i.e. using the setchannel utility). It should be a simple matter to create tvi_bsdcxm.c from tvi_bsdbt848.c so that mplayer can control the channels. I'm using a web based VCR application I wrote in C and PHP to record programs. It's not whizzy, however it gets the job done. If you're interested I can send you a copy. > You asked for broadcasts. May be it helps, to have a look of the sources > of xawtv, which has some lists. You can certainly try using those lists. It should be an easy change for you to make setchannel support looking up the frequency and use TVTUNER_SETFREQ in place of TVTUNER_SETCHNL. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Feith Systems | Voice: 1-215-646-8000 | Email: john@feith.com | | John Wehle | Fax: 1-215-540-5495 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------
