Still, I'm not aware of any ATSC/Digital tuners.. the developers did decide to implement a Video4Linux compatibility layer as video(4), so eventually future drivers will be written for such devices.

Thanks BSDfan666.
Aaaaaargh.
It looks like USB attached teevee devices won't work (that would have been my next question).
According to uvideo(4):

If the uvideo device attaches successfully, it will attach the video(4)
driver to provide higher-level access.

As you say UVC is a webcam thing. :[
Do you have any advice?
There must be some way to do this.
Even Tivo requires a capture card (and it costs a lot). Anyway, I don't want to buy a box with a hard drive inside to watch teevee - I already have several. :]
Best wishes.
