I would find that preferable to booting Linux... Well, you want diagnostics, no? (So do I if it's about kbtv) That's one recommended way to get device info. > That being said, I'll try what you suggested, thank you. Though I'm > curious, what is XV? I'll boot my BSD box up in a moment, but right XV= XVideo extension to Xorg drivers, means "hardware accelleration" which means essentially that the graphics hardware does the drawing, not the CPU.

That's an excellent setup to muck around with capture cards... NOT :) Couple of years ago I had a TV card that caught fire. No kidding. The motherboard still worked. Keep that box clean and cooled! :) > Oh, and the quality of this tuner has improved since what you've seen I've seen nothing, only you did. Neither did I change anything for this hardware, as, well, I don't know what hardware it is. Glad it works better for you though. That's still no bug report or anything so I can do nothing to improve it (if possible at all). That was what I was trying to say about your problems with kbtv with "another card". Such comments are so unspecific that they don't tell me anything. Or was this not about kbtv at all? > I'm happy to say, otherwise I'd have really been unhappy.
