Subject:   Problems with bktr based FM tuner card

Hi folks,

recently, in one used computer I picked up, I found a Hauppauge WinTV card
with FM tuner. The card generally works fine, but there's a thing with the
FM tuner that disturbs me:

I have installed xmradio (/usr/ports/audio/xmradio) in order to control the
card's FM tuner. However, xmradio required that I have X running. Now, I
would probably be able to change stations and volume simply from the
shell. Indeed, there seems to be a port available that can do that. It's
called fmio and lives in /usr/ports/audio/fmio. However, it doesn't seem to
work. Even though I read the manpage, specified my particular card using
the -d bktr option, it still would not work.

So, does anyone have a BT8x8 based Hauppage or similar TV card with FM
tuner which seems to successfully work with fmio? If so, I'd appreciate any
hints that I may have forgotten to consider when trying to get my card up
and running.

If nobody supports success here, I may have a look at the xmradio sources
and create my own command-line FM tuner control utility based on them. Even
though I'm not a highly experienced programmer, I guess with the xmradio
sources as a guide, that's something even I should be able to do within a
few days, if not hours...

Greetings
Nils
