    It also works on 7 and 8 with the attached patch.  Tuning works
    best by frequency.  Once I choose s-video or composite input, I
    can't switch back to the tuner.

    I'm also kinda working on mythtv, I've got the latest built, but
    it's failing at probing the inputs of the card (the version in the
    ports works at that part, but fails to get schedules).  I've never
    used mythtv so I don't have reference to a working version.

    For now, I'm using a slightly hacked version of the devel version
    of mpegcat (multimedia/gopchop) to split the mpeg stream on the
    hour.  I intend to send those patches to the author, they are
    trivial.
