Hi, as you may know, DVB applications are currently not supported on GNU/kFreeBSD. I searched the internet and found http://www.tangobravo.co.uk/v4l-compat/ a project which aims to provide drivers for FreeBSD via a V4L2 compatibility layer; and the needed header files for building apps. If we want DVB support on GNU/kFreeBSD, we would need to: a) add the linux/dvb/ headers to kfreebsd-kernel-headers, should be easy. Either adapt directly from linux-2.6 or adapt from v4l-compat, the latter probably being the safer choice. b) package v4l-compat Currently, v4l-compat only seems to support one driver, but it should be possible to enable more drivers with minor modifications. I don't think that I have the time or knowledge to do this, but I am providing this here in case someone else wants to continue.
