Broadcast analog TV will be going away soon. Yet there will be continue to be some uses for analog capture. So I recommend concentrating first on tuners that handle both analog and digital. Work is in progress on the Dvico Fusion5 tuners. The Fusion5 is nice because it is available in a USB version, which does not require a slot. Another tuner worthy of a BSD driver is the HD3000. Does both analog and digital in a variety of formats (NTSC, PAL, 8VSB, QAM, etc.) Has working Linux drivers with source. The only tuner I know of that is documented to be friendly to fair use rights. The Fusion5 and HD3000 use different chips. If one doesn't work well in a particular reception environment, the other might. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
