   Does anybody have any experience of doing this? Has anybody managed to get 
   either Linux or FreeBSD to receive multicasts?

NetBSD has full multicast support.

   Does anybody have any experience of fitting a video frame grabber such as a 
   Video Blaster in an IBM style PC and getting it to work with either
   Linux or FreeBSD?

Never heard of this being done...
