They are the same, ala the printfs I put in:

bktr0: <BrookTree 848> rev 0x11 int a irq 18 on pci0.18.0
Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips NTSC tuner.
**** brktr->card.tuner = -266817856
**** tuner             = -266817856

Well, I tried that, and nothing.  I got maybe one or two stray channels in
hte 70s or something doing what you said above.  Now, the values you say
are the original values are not what I had.  The patch that Bernie told me
to apply earlier included changing the band-switch values to the
following:

	{ 0xa0, 0xc2, 0x30 } 

Could that have affected it?  Otherwise, does it just seem like this is a
flakey card?  THanks for all of the help Steve!
