i.e. $ SomeMpegViewer < /dev/cxm0 would alow me to use my TV tuner? The application would be used ONLY for video/audio. Channel changing and such would be handled by another appliation on the command line. I tried mplayer since it was supposed to be able to handle mpg videos from stdin, however it gave me an error saying there was too much data per packet (I don't have it with me at the moment, so I can't say exactly what it is) I found that, if I have enough delay between the two commands, $ cat /dev/cxm0 > /tmp/tvfile $ noatun /tmp/tvfile does the job I need, but, it has some latency, which can be problematic (especially if I were playing a console game), also it tends to create a rather large file, unncecessarily.
