Hmm, I wonder why this card doesn't utilise the big giant lock...

Yes, we've tried all of them.

Ok, I set these according to bktr_tuner.h and bktr_card.h:

hw.bt848.tuner=3D14
hw.bt848.card=3D19

=2E.but unfortunately this made no difference.

I'm beginning to think it might be, I'll send Branko and email and
(hopefully) post a followup if we get it working.
