Hardware: Hauppauge WinCast/TV dbx Model 401 - I got mine from PC Connection http://www.pcconnection.com/ Software: FreeBSD 2.2-GAMMA (should work with 2.2 & CURRENT) XFree86 3.2 or later fxtv version 0.43 from http://www.mulitverse.com/~rhh/fxtv Somebody's bt848 driver -- I forgot which! I think I'm on Randall Hopper's 970604 driver from URL above. If you have a Mach64-GX based video card you'd better take my files. At the worst you could pull the files from -current. Make sure you read the README since it means diving into files.i386. Check the BT848 web page for full details: http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/HomeAuto/Bt848.html Plug in the card, modify & rebuild your kernel, reboot, and fire up fxtv. If you need a camera Hauppauge may still have their camera offer on the Web. Grab your serial number and try http://www.hauppauge.com/. Enjoy! Let us know if you need anything else.
