Digital TV (DVB, ATSC) on FreeBSD: A small guide

Hope you didn't spend all that time fiddling with that USB stick...
You can expect an error 'No useable device found' from w_scan when either the entries under /dev/dvb are missing or when the right firmware files are missing in /boot/modules.
After a make patch for webcamd you will find a script work/webcamd-5.nn.n.n/media_tree/scripts/get_dvb_firmware to download .fw files from the site of the manufacturer.
