I didn't see on the list my previous post, so I'm resending a copy.
I'm sorry if someone get double copy of following text.

It *is* very good software.
I use it daily and it works great.
AFAIK, the problem for FreeBSD is the lack or little support for DVB.
VDR heavyly uses linux DVB (DVB API is developed by guys at
linuxtv.org). Drivers for dvb cards need to be writed/ported too.
Having same dvb api on freebsd, I think vdr port should be quite simple.

Is there anyone working on (port of linux) DVB API for FreeBSD?
