If the main purpose of your box is to be a PVR, I suggest going with a Linux
distribution and using MythTV (http://www.mythtv.org). While I am a fan of
FreeBSD as a web/mail/etc. server, it did not meet my needs when attempting
to build a PVR. I found the Gentoo Linux distribution most comfortable for
me because it uses a "portage" system similar to the "ports" system of
FreeBSD. Others I tried were package based and didn't always support my
hardware.
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.

Some year back I was meddling around with VLC (videolan) that does a
pretty good job of the streaming part. There was issues with threads at
the time so I let it rest though.
Xmltv to grab the channels listings should also work.
TV cards supported should be in the handbook....
Please let us know the uri for the webpage!
