Yes, I know there may be few, largely "irrelevant" (old, non-maintained?), programs that may work with it. But the major ones in this field -- be it mplayer, MythTV, VDR, Kaffeine, VLC, Totem, you name it -- won't work. The open source scene in this field has made some big leaps. That's why we have dtv(4) and FreeBSD has "Cuse4BSD". Old BSD-specific solutions have no future. - Jukka.
