Simply stated, a dual (or more) digital tuner to ethernet bridge. The consumer versions run only on DHCP, and they've recently announced one that can accept tuner cards (for decoding a cable TV or satellite broadcast, for example). I haven't read the mechanics behind it, but it kinda looks like it's tuned and channel data is sent to any ethernet-ready device by use of ethernet frames. You change settings by sending commands to the box. There are frequent firmware updates but nothing that has yet applied to me to fix a broken issue.

You may try to load Win* (it initializes the card) and then reboot (not powerdown!) to FreeBSD. but I have windows xp installed on another HD, after downloading the driver and all, that seemed to work well, except my cable signal is weak, i only get like 13 channels :-( get ready to bid (anybody wants a TV capture card that works on windows?? call me!!)
