The local computer store sells, from Hauppagauge, both the card you're using and something called the WinTV-PVR, which is a usb2 device that communicates 720x480 mpeg frames back to the computer. Do you know, does the application exist for free software, that would let this PVR card communicate with FreeBSD? I'm looking also, I find it very interesting. > can find is: > > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 26972 Nov 18 12:23 /cdrom/WinTV-NOVA-TMCE_2_102_22323_WHQL_signed/hcw88bar.sys > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 142400 Nov 18 12:36 /cdrom/WinTV-NOVA-TMCE_2_102_22323_WHQL_signed/hcw88bda.sys > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 307267 Nov 18 12:21 /cdrom/WinTV-NOVA-TMCE_2_102_22323_WHQL_signed/hcw88enc.sys > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8387 Nov 18 12:22 /cdrom/WinTV-NOVA-TMCE_2_102_22323_WHQL_signed/hcw88r9x.sys > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11719 Nov 22 12:20 /cdrom/WinTV-NOVA-TMCE_2_102_22323_WHQL_signed/hcw88rc5.sys > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14016 Nov 18 12:22 /cdrom/WinTV-NOVA-TMCE_2_102_22323_WHQL_signed/hcw88ts.sys > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 128577 Nov 18 12:33 /cdrom/WinTV-NOVA-TMCE_2_102_22323_WHQL_signed/hcw88tun.sys > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 579004 Nov 18 12:23 /cdrom/WinTV-NOVA-TMCE_2_102_22323_WHQL_signed/hcw88vid.sys > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 131840 Nov 11 12:43 /cdrom/WinTV-PVR-150500MCE_2.0.18.22316_WHQL_signed/hcwPP2.sys > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 814464 Sep 22 2004 /cdrom/WinTV-PVR-250_retail1_1_18_22266/hcwPVRP2.sys > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1433280 Oct 21 2004 /cdrom/WinTVPVRUSB2_22_73_22295_WHQL_signed/HCWUSB2.sys > > cxm_extract_fw runs fine against > WinTV-PVR-250_retail1_1_18_22266/hcwPVRP2.sys, but with > WinTV-PVR-150500MCE_2.0.18.22316_WHQL_signed/hcwPP2.sys it says: > > === root@teevee (/dev/ttyp0) /usr/src/sys/dev/cxm 22 -> ./cxm_extract_fw hcwPP2.sys > cxm_extract_fw: decoder image not present > cxm_extract_fw: encoder image not present > > I don't know anything about the content of these files, but if you do, > and if I can help, let me know.
