I have had success using the ALPS_TSBH1 tuner of the bktr driver sysctl hw.bt848.tuner=13 My hw.bt848.card value was set at -1, I didn't change it. Using fxtv, I was able to receive video through the "composite" and "S-Video" inputs. This worked regardless of tuner setting. After setting the tuner, I was able to receive signal from television station broadcasts (also in fxtv). I was using it with FreeBSD-6.1 release. I don't know anything about PC-BSD, so I hope my information at least gets you a little closer to something functional. The full description of my card is: Prolink PixelView PlayTV MPEG2
