Hi all,

I just bought an Hauppage TV/Wincast card with the Brooktree 878
chip. I'm trying to watch cable (although I have tried every
setting available in the menus), but when I start fxtv, I get
snow and accompanying "white noise". When I try to change
channels with the arrows, I get no results (except an annoying
extended beep from my pc-speaker). If I type in a
number, the entry field shows the number, but when I hit return,
it returns to 0.

Some info:

I am running current from 7/27.
I installed fxtv from ports.
I built /dev/bktr0.
And built a kernel with device bktr0.

dmesg shows:

etc....

My video card is a Graphics Blaster MA202. It has the
CL-GD5446 chip, and I start X with startx -- -bpp 16 (I tried 8
bit color depth too with the same results).

Any ideas on how to get this working?

Thanks.

Greg
