I would like to try and put together the most functional FreeBSD based PVR system possible, even if it does have less functionality than it's Linux counterpart. does anyone have a recipe for a working FreeBSD based PVR? if not post Ideas for software / configurations / Hardware, and I will l make a web page out of it.
