illumos gate

Greetings

Requesting : V4l compatible DVB interfaces and generic top level dvb drivers.
dvb drivers could be pci & usb.

freebds work could be one starting point.

Illumos kernel and it's fearures would build killer htpc/pvr core.

There is so many apps already for linux.. mythtv , vdr , etc.. so compatible api/abi and own implementation would open illumos to htpc/pvr use..
