A FreeBSD HTPC

    Thinking about doing an HTPC project, however I remember having
problems with an avermedia tuner way back (damn I am old). Browsed
through the hardware notes to the 8.2 and the situations seems to be
pretty desperate, I've checked GNU/Linux and it is years ahead in this
department. I also wonder if FreeBSD supports processor features like
Intel's QuickSync (it is does depend on the app, however I imagine it
does require some kernel support).
    So is the use of FreeBSD as an HTPC OS is illogical and I should use
another one?
