I am sorry to say, but I have been using a cheap card build on
brooktree chip and it is working fine (at least for still captudes)

I am not aware of any MPEG2 hardware capture cards supported under FreeBSD
at this time. The MPEG2 chipsets are finally relatively inexpensive. There

I have no answer about the card, but full digital television, without
compression, needs 36 Mbps according to some experiements run by
Japanses.

Hello,
I have got to the same idea today and -- what a luck -- this topic is
already dscussed on FreeBSD list! How fast should be the server to be able
to perform this task? For instance, would PII/400MHz/128Mb be enough? Do
different cards (meteor/bktr) consume CPU power differenly, or about the
If i understand what you want to do, i have something similar setup. i
stuck my tv card [device bktr] in my headless server. Installed X on
the server, along with xawtv and fxtv. i then ssh -X into the server
from a client running X, i then execute the command for one of the tv

Ok, I'm not sure if this will work (or if it does, how well), but I'm
curious to see what happens.
I have one of the older Happauge WinTV boards (that is supported by
FreeBSD). Unfortunately, the only machine with an open PCI slot is my
headless server. I have a number of IBM netstations attached
