For a built-in tuner card itself, no recommendations. For an alternative solution, look at silicondust.com for the HDHomeRun boxes. I've had one for a long time and it is a beautiful device. 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.

Conexant Fusion 878A - based TV card
I've lost it's box and there are no other inscriptions on the card, except for a big "PixelView" sticker overlapping the sticker with the model of the tuner itself. I believe that the exact model is PlayTV 2, but I'm not absolutely sure on this. The chip is inscribed Conexant Fusion 878A and the sticker of the tuner is TNF-9935-B/DFF. The only 2 visible chips on the card are labeled 0451CIRUS (I couldn't lookup this) and 74HC405D (multiplexor of some kind). scanpci output: pci bus 0x0002 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x109e device 0x036e Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture pci bus 0x0002 cardnum 0x00 function 0x01: vendor 0x109e device 0x0878 Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture bktr driver initialization May 4 12:54:03 fence kernel: bktr0: [GIANT-LOCKED] May 4 12:54:03 fence kernel: bktr0: Card has no configuration EEPROM.

TV Card problem
Hello everyon I am newbie using FreeBDS 5.3; and I am just starting to learn about TV Cards supported by FreeBSD. Unfortunately my pci TV Card (PINNACLE PCTV Stereo) does not have Brooktree/Conexant Chip. Intead it uses something like SAA7134HL CC4492 Tt03461 At least that's what I found written on the Chip.

Anything with a Brooktree card should work, see bktr(4), e.g. WinTV, Miro, and some others. I think also USB devices with a bktr chip work but I don't have one myself. Brooktree 848 and 878 are sure to work, newer chipsets might. If you're going to use sound through the TV card, it will most likely be msp34xx (top of my head might be misspelled). I only use it with a camcorder and cable signal, with sounds plugged into my soundcard but you should be able to use sound from a TV/Coax signal.

I don't know if this has got anything to do with where you live, but I (living in Germany) have been using a Brooktree 878-based card (Hauppauge WinTV Go!), which so far has worked flawlessly under Windows 98/ME/2k, Linux 2.2 - 2.6, FreeBSD 5. It also worked with NetBSD 1.6 and BeOS 5 PE, but the OS'es did not support overlay mode, so the TV-application consumed lots of CPU-cycles. Brooktree cards are supported via the bktr(4) driver. I suggest, if in doubt, go for Hauppauge, but unless you want to *a lot more* than just watching TV, I don't think it matters that much, as long as the chipset is made by Brooktree.
