It works fine for me too, but I'm wired to my roof antenna.  A decent
desktop antenna should work fine too (say a Terk).  A plain old flat
cable FM antenna isn't very useful though (like the one included with
the Hauppauge cards); it's a drag to move around to get optimal
reception (I did this for awhile until it became too annoying).  I use a
modified version of wmtune with my Hauppauge card.  I don't used the
ports version, but presumably it works (/usr/ports/audio/wmtune).  The
only thing I clearly remember fixing (as opposed to new features) was
getting it to behave with fxtv (which I have running almost all the
time, so it matters to me).  I think it was just one or two additional
ioctl's (or maybe just some reordering of the ioctl's).  I'm too lazy to
check my changes at the moment, but I can if the ports version of wmtune
has problems (and I'll submit a patch if that's the case and people need
it).

Daniel
