If one of the *BSDs has a driver for the PVR-350 then that would be closer to 
an OSX driver than the Linux ivtv driver.
I find it hard to believe OSX doesn't support modern hardware like the hvr1800 
or hvr1600 or hdpvr of the box.  

Why buy a new computer and not drop a few $ on a new capture card?  Oh wait 
you're not. You want to tread on legally dubious ground using Apple's OS in a 
manner Apple doesn't support.  In addition you want a driver for free on top of 
that.

I have no interest in working on BSD or OSX drivers for free so some for-profit 
company can grab the code, modify it, and not contribute changes back, while 
they profit off of my efforts. 

Conversely I have no desire to support potentially dubious activity so someone 
can benefit from Apple's efforts while denying Apple a return on their 
investment in software and hardware development.
