I searched many mailing lists for this. But yuo're right. The bktr development doesn't continue since 2000, there is only some 2.19 devel version available also from 2000. It would be greate to start a new project maybe based on the original bktr, inspired by bttv. The problem of many newer TV cards is, that they have separate audio device (see the last line): bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xee003000-0xee003fff irq 5 at device 11.0 on pci0 iicbb0: <I2C bit-banging driver> on bti2c0 iicbus0: <Philips I2C bus> on iicbb0 master-only iicbus1: <Philips I2C bus> on iicbb0 master-only smbus0: <System Management Bus> on bti2c0 smb0: <SMBus general purpose I/O> on smbus0 bktr0: Card has no configuration EEPROM. Cannot determine card make. bktr0: Pinnacle/Miro TV, Temic NTSC tuner. pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 11.1 irq 5 That makes current bktr driver quite unusable, since the driver structure don't have any space for this info. Bttv has. I saw some patch, that changed this struct, and added a field, that signalises a separate audio device. Unfortunatly I was not able to compile the patched driver. So I think the bktr driver would need a deeper rewrite for this support. But it needs to be done.
