Hello all, I'm working to get this STB board working under freebsd.
It appears to be the common one, it is 878 based.

It should use the standard bktr driver. I am running 4.10.

I have added the following to my kernel conf, recompiled, boots fine:

device          bktr
device          iicbus
device          iicbb
device          smbus

dmesg output shows these two:
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x036c) at 14.0
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 14.1

pciconf -l -v shows this:

none0 at pci0:14:0:        class=0x040000 card=0x264510b4 chip=0x036c109e
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Brooktree Corporation'
    device   = 'Bt879(??) Video Capture'
    class    = multimedia
    subclass = video

none1 at pci0:14:1:        class=0x048000 card=0x264510b4 chip=0x0878109e
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Brooktree Corporation'
    device   = 'Bt878/Fusion878A Video Capture (Audio Section)'
    class    = multimedia

I've tried forcing the kernel "options         BKTR_OVERRIDE_CARD=3" as
well as a 0 (3 = STB, 0 = generic/unknown) with no luck.

Any thoughts or solutions? I googled around but most references are to a
point after the card is working, mainly framerate issues.

All suggestions welcome! I'm pretty much dead in the water.
