I have bought an unknown brand (AVerMedia TVCapture) bt848 board :

bktr0: <BrookTree 848> rev 0x12 int a irq 15 on pci0.11.0
IMS TV Turbo, Philips FR1236 NTSC FM tuner.          

But here arrive the first surprise : It "seems" an NTSC one and I live
in Italy which are not good things togheter ... :-)

I have compiled FreeBSD X TV 0.47 (without any problem, even if [1] I
run Xaccel 4.1 [2] it searches libjpeg 7.0, I have 9.0 installed  :-)
and tried the -debug option receiving :

gmarco:/home/gmarco> fxtv -debug startup
Fxtv v0.47

A friend of mine told me there is the possibility to force the PAL mode
in the kernel, but I was not able to find any message about it in the
multimedia mailing list...Any hints ?


Is there some hopes to let this card working in PAL mode on FreeBSD (it
works on Window$ :-( ) ? 
Or it is better if I take it back to the vendor and trying to search
another one ...
