Pinnacle RAVE TV tuning problem

Hi, I'm trying to set up a TV card on my friends box. He is running
a fresh 5.4-PRERELEASE. The card is a Pinnacle RAVE TV.

The problem is: FreeBSD seems to know what the card is, it also seems to
know what the tuner is, but we can't get any picture in motv (or any TV
app for that matter). We are in the UK, so the card is not NTSC and we've
verified that the aerial cables are fine. What could be the problem? The
card is supposed to be supported so I'm guessing that this is just a
configuration problem.

Relevant dmesg:

bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xda000000-0xda000fff irq 9 at device 10.0 on
pci1
bktr0: tuner @ 0xc0
