It was the younger problem report (kern/73669).

So you can see a program in BW, which was not there before?

That could mean, that you have a problem with hitting the right frequencies...
Somehow there are groups of frequencies or maybe frequency names (I do not
know)...

At least you could try "multimedia/xawtv", which allows to set PAL/NTSC and
region quite easy.

My kernel says similar things about his Pinnacle, which means, that there is
hope, I think.

But my kernel does not detect a MSP3440, which seems to be a little sound card
on the TV card (I have to put the mono audio signal on the CD-audio-connector)?

Hmm... I did not change any sysctls; it suddenly just worked after the patch...

Maybe you should not only remove the kernel options about bktr but also any
sysctl settings about bktr?

Then reboot.

And then try xawtv (the option -hwscan might be interesting) :-)
