Default What about tv-tuners in FreeBSD 8-9?
Does anyone know anything about what the TV-tuners works in a FreeBSD 8-9?
I would like to stream video to the intranet.

There are a few that are supported, mainly the ones from Hauppauge.

multimedia/pvr250
multimedia/pvrxxx
multimedia/sms1xxx-kmod

And there are some (very old) cards based on the BT848 chip that should be supported by bktr(4).

A number of USB devices are supposed to work through multimedia/webcamd. See the htpc wiki page.

Personally I've used mythtv for years on FreeBSD - but only as a front end. I still rely on a headless Linux backend for the tuners :-(

There is multimedia/cx88 that is reported to work with some of the HVR Hauppauge cards.
