Odds on this is not an MT2032 tuner at all but an MT2050 tuner. I
had patches[1] some time ago for MT2050 (several of them based on
different sources) which at least recognised the tuner and tried to tune
channels, but I never got a good result from them. The best I got was snowy
pictures - in the end I bought a set top DTV box and plugged it into the
S-Video socket :)
[1] I could probably dig them out - but you should be warned that they were
against what is now an oldish version of DragonFly and would take work to
apply to a 6.1 FreeBSD - and as I said they didn't work too well :(
