In short: they've been broken by the time MT2032 tuner support was added, and they're still broken. I've had similar problems with an (old) WinCast TV card; it stopped working somewhere around FreeBSD-5.3 or so, also because tuner detection fails and it can't be bullied into using the correct one with sysctl. I tried to raise the issue several times but never got a response. Dan > bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV. > > Now for my problems: > > I'm unable to watch TV with the tuner, only use the component a/v.
