I ready that hauppauge was the best bet for a TV Tuner that would work in BSD. So I got a WinTV-Radio. Sadly you can't see the chip they use in the tuner before you buy. The website showed most of the chips were 848 and 878, so I figured that I would be safe, and I would take the risk of getting a 881, and I've seen hints that one could get working. I got the 880 which isn't even listed. I installed the bktrbsd and kbtv ports for a test. KBTV gives me a viewer init error. I have gotten this to work on another card (but there were bugs with the output, very choppy with blocks of video that didn't get updated). Original setup: sjss@elrond 20:55:09 (1) ~ > sysctl hw.bt848.card; sysctl hw.bt848.tuner; hw.bt848.card: -1 hw.bt848.tuner: -1 I tried to fix it with: sjss@elrond 20:57:03 (0) ~ > sudo sysctl hw.bt848.card=2; sudo sysctl hw.bt848.tuner=9; hw.bt848.card: 2 -> 2 hw.bt848.tuner: -1 -> 9 but got the same error. I figure the tuner is probably not going to work. I was wondering if anyone had any leads on where I might find a solution to this, either: (A) someone got it to work already, and I just didn't know what port to instal (B) someone got it to work already, but the task won't be as pleasant as dealing with ports (c) someone is fairly sure they could write the driver if someone else donated the hardware... (Note: this would involve me buying one or two more tuners, until I got two 881s or 880s, or an 848/878, and sending the other individual whichever 880/881s I had spare).
