Yes I have, and I noticed some strange results. For Example the device
parameter is completely ignored. I can change it to 99(/dev/bktr99), and
will still run. And mplayer will always display (/dev/bktr0) video. It's
must be ignoring the device input, I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.

mplayer -tv
device=/dev/bktr1,tuner=/dev/tuner1:driver=bsdbt848:input=1:chanlist=europe-west
tv://
mplayer -tv device=/dev/bktr3:driver=bsdbt848:input=1:chanlist=europe-west
tv://

This is the latest port versions installed
gmencoder-0.1.0_10
mplayer-0.99.11_8
mplayer-skins-1.1.2_6

Thanks
