I think this issue was talked about a week or two ago: http://groups-beta.google.com/groups?&as_ugroup=*.freebsd.* My only other generic advice would be to read the man page for bktr, it has lots of info about options and overrides... umm have you tired dscaler on windows? This program autodetects the PCTV cards and can yield some detailed info about them (plus it's the best tv viewer app for windows): http://deinterlace.sourceforge.net/about.htm
