Ok, I've tried to test this, with a PVR-350 card on a 6.1-stable /
amd64 box:

root@kg-quiet# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-quiet.kg4.no 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #10: Wed Oct 11
19:49:47 CEST 2006     root@kg-quiet.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/QUIET
amd64

I tried 'pvr250-setchannel -t -d 0 -g 720x576 -m 4 5', followed by

'mplayer /dev/cxm0'

but alas, no picture. Shouldn't this work?

I notice that pvr250-setchannel (and probably cxm itself, haven't
checked yet) only accept numerical channels (we here in Europe are used
to channel names like 'E8', 'S37', 'SE13' and so on) so I chose a
channel (5) that I know is in use here, and is supported by the cxm
driver / pvr250-setchannel. I've tried other channels as well, without
success.

If I do 'pvr250-setchannel -d 0 262.250' I get the following
in /var/log/messages:

Oct 11 21:20:39 kg-quiet kernel: <2>cxm 0-0000: Preferred audio mode:      mono/language A

and I have checked that the sgnal is available, and that the cable is plugged into the tuner input.

Anything else I can do?
