No luck with either of these.

No luck here either -- I get nothing but black when using -colorbars.

My latest thinking on all this is that the card I have is incompatible
with the driver because it has FM radio support (is anyone running a
card with radio support under FreeBSD?).  Probably there's a command
to select TV or radio, and hopefully that is all that's missing.

Perhaps Amancio or Steve could answer this question: Has all the
documentation for the bt848 driver come from Brooktree, or has
Hauppauge been forthcoming with details about their board?  (Assuming
that this is a Hauppauge specific problem.)

You bet, I'll attach it to the end of this message.  Thanks again for
your help.
