I've been having problems with the bktr driver as well. Three, to be exact. With the latest version of the driver, it looks like only every other field is getting displayed. Channel numbers and other overlays in fxtv are left over as artifacts to some extent. The artifacts look like they're just the portion of the numbers/letters that are in one of the fields. Reverting to version 1.101 (suggested on -multimedia by Chris Csanady) of bktr_core.c fixes the problem. The second problem I've noticed, ever since I upgraded from a late-June current to -current as of the end of October (I'm running -current as of today now), is that with stereo channels, one audio channel is louder than the other. In order to make it sound "right", I have to adjust the left channel to be slightly louder than the right. This doesn't happen with all stereo channels, just some. (TBS is the most noteable example.) I don't know what is going on there. Maybe something isn't getting programmed correctly. Naturally, it's a little difficult to get it adjusted precisely. The third problem, which isn't really a problem is: bktr0: <BrookTree 848> irq 17 at device 11.0 on pci0 iicbb0: <I2C generic bit-banging driver> on bti2c0 iicbus0: <Philips I2C bus> on iicbb0 master-only iicsmb0: <I2C to SMB bridge> on iicbus0 smbus0: <System Management Bus> on iicsmb0 smb0: <SMBus general purpose I/O> on smbus0 iic0: <I2C general purpose I/O> on iicbus0 smbus1: <System Management Bus> on bti2c0 smb1: <SMBus general purpose I/O> on smbus1 bktr0: Hauppauge Model 56111 C Warning - Unknown Hauppauge Tuner 0x5 Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips NTSC tuner, dbx stereo. I'm glad the driver finally detects my card and tuner well enough (again) that I don't have to hard-code the card and tuner values in my config file. Is the unknown tuner message a problem? fxtv seems to work okay without hard-coding the tuner..
