I'm watching TV just fine with an ATI AIW Rage 128 Pro, FreeBSD
4-stable, and XFree86-4.3.x.  Granted, I'm not capturing, but to view
TV I installed the 'stuff' from http://gatos.sourceforge.net and
xawtv.  Full screen, all of the expected functions (except capture)
work well.  Try it ;)

Granted, the Hauppage cards are better supported, but you might as
well use what you've got.
