----

We have added basic support for our devices to FreeBSD in mid 2010 already, due customer request we decided to completely finish support for this now.

For development we are using a 64bit system with "NVIDIA GeForce 7050 / NVIDIA nForce 610i (C73)" graphic chipset.

* DVB-C, DVB-T, ATSC, ISDB-T(Brazil) and DVB-S/S2 are supported. (1. April 2011)
* added support for FM Radio (2. April 2011)
* Analog TV simulation driver is now also supported (2. April 2011)
* Analog TV (including audio) via USB TV Tuner is now also supported (2. April 2011)
* Ported tvtime to FreeBSD (2. April 2011)

Performancetest: FreeBSD is highly performant, CPU usage 2-10% when using raw AnalogTV with 2 devices (total 44mbyte/sec or 352 Mbit datatransfer)

Digital TV only requires 15-50 Mbit.

Driver and TV application CPU utilization is minimal:

Jitter within the screenshots are caused by the screenshot mechanism, the original video is fine.

For those who want to use the stick with FreeBSD:
The stick is currently not working with recent FreeBSD versions. There has been several requests to provide up-to-date drivers and there have been several promises to publish them, but until today these promises weren't kept.

For the records:
With this driver (http://support.sundtek.com/index.php/topic,592.0.html) it's possible to use the device with FreeBSD 10 amd64. It's not very comfortable at the moment, but developer claims that this will be improved soon.

The driver is updated, it also includes a simple streamingserver.

It's still work in progress.

The current package has support for all our devices.
