TV capture card

[Tsu-Fan Cheng]

ahh.. really?? bktr (4) said it's based on brooktree, here:

The *bktr* driver supports video capture cards based on the Brooktree
     Bt848/849/878/879 chips, as well as Pinnacle PCTV cards, including:

     *·*	 AOpen VA1000
     *·*	 AVerMedia AVerTV Studio
     *·*	 AVerMedia TF/FM-98

but you can be right, the vendor's website didn't tell me what chip it
uses right now.
(cross my fingers...)
