This puppy is controled (afaik) via iic/smb. This card is definitively not supported under FreeBSD (has nothing todo with the brooktree chipset, althoug the control commands could be the same; Phillips iic standard). There is a project called linuxtv.org. They wrote a driver for the Linux kernel, but I don't exactly know if it is compliant to the TechnoTrend API or someting different (but they supply the ARM core on the card with the original TechnoTrend Firmware). There's also a project called VDR (http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/) which provides excellent applications for this card (no NOVA etc. support). I have a HTPC with this card running on (*blameonme*) M$, but I'm no coder so for me it's impossible to do any FreeBSD port of the driver (which is basic for VDR). I'd highly appreciate any activity in that environment.
