I have the US version of this card, and use it with fxtv without issue.
The only difference between your card and mine is the tuner.  From dmesg:

bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xec001000-0xec001fff irq 10 at device 9.0 on
pci2
bktr0: Detected a MSP3451G-A2 at 0x80
bktr0: Pinnacle/Miro TV, Temic NTSC tuner, msp3400c stereo.
pci2: <multimedia> at device 9.1 (no driver attached)

and from my kernel config file:

device          bktr
options         OVERRIDE_TUNER=1
options         BROOKTREE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT=BROOKTREE_NTSC
device          smbus           #Bus support, required for smb below.
device          ichsmb
device          iicbus
device          iicbb
device          iicsmb

You'll want different OVERRIDE_TUNER and BROOKTREE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT values,
but other than that, everything should just work.

The unrecognized PCI device is the onboard sound chip, the msp chip is the
FM tuner, and while I haven't used it, others have reported success if you
check the archives.

This is 5.1-R updated to the latest RELENG_5_1 (hopefully -S will migrate
to 5.x come Sept. according to currently posted schedule).
