Great stuff!

I'm stuck in FreeBSD 4 for today, so I tried there: btcontrol.c has a few 
compile-time issues on gcc 2.95 (the tempval and fd declarations need to be 
moved to the beginning of the respective functions) and kbtv itself aborts 
just after the splash screen with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "kbtv.py", line 428, in ?
    btc = BTControl()
  File "/usr/local/share/apps/kbtv/btcontrol.py", line 115, in __init__
    self.probeTuner()
  File "/usr/local/share/apps/kbtv/btcontrol.py", line 146, in probeTuner
    vsrc = int(__btcontrol_get__("videosource"))
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): Open %s for reading: No such file or 
directory
