Hello.

I have in my posession a "ATI TV Wonder VE" tv-tuner card.  I recently 
made the transition from Linux, where this card worked very well, but 
I'm having trouble with FreeBSD.  I have had difficulty finding 
information about getting this working correctly, but I certainly found 
a small bit of info.

ftp://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/driver/2.18/README.FreeBSD

This appears to be a little outdated (is work still being done on 
this?), but it got me somewhere.  I followed the directions here, but I 
still cannot get any readable tv signal.  I do get static and lots of 
noise when I run a program like fxtv or xawtv, but no matter how I 
configure the software I can't get it to work right.  I know that 
SOMETHING is coming through, because when I unplug the cable there is no 
more static.  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or have any ideas? 
 Anything at all would be appreciated.  Here is what dmesg has to say 
about it all:

bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xd9000000-0xd9000fff irq 10 at device 8.0 on 
pci0
bktr0: Warning - card vendor 0x1002 (model 0x0003) unknown.
bktr0: Pinnacle/Miro TV, Temic NTSC tuner.
