I recently installed a Hauppauge wintv card in my 3.1-current machine, after a little searching in the mailing lists I added the various controllers (additional to the bt848 driver) that was required. I grabbed the latest copy of FXTV and it worked a treat, only real pest was having to modify the bt848 kernel driver to allow me to use a standard set of Australian Frequencies, which also now works wonderfully. Although all this was not a process for a total FreeBSD novice.. However after all this I have a few questions: 1. Does anyone know of a teletext program that works with the bt848 driver ? 2. Given that it is likely there may be other chipset drivers for FreeBSD has anyone thought of pulling together a standard API etc (ala video4linux). 3. Is there anyway that we can leverage the stack of code currently out there for video4linux? (XawTV,Teletext,WMTV and heaps of others) Specific App/Driver stuff (perhaps better directed to the authors, but added here for completeness) 4. Given that the latest bt848 driver appears to have the appropriate defines to cope with the wintv IR remote, will that support be included in fxtv? 5. Can a "Frequency Set" be included for australia (to add to nabcst etc) to the existing bt848 distribution (saves me patching each time I get the latest driver)? 6. Could the bt848 frequency set information be dynamically included during boot time (ala pnp style commands)? Any comments etc greatly appreciated. Cheers, Scott D.
