I'm seeing major freezes whenever I try to watch TV using my bt848 card.
It used to work great.  I have no problems under Win98, just FreeBSD.

I've got a zoltrix TV Max; its detected as a MIRO TV with Temic NTSC tuner.
If I fire up fxtv I get picture and can change channels, but my computer
freezes after about 30 seconds.  no messages or panic, it just freezes, 
I have to hard reset.  On the next boot the card is detected as a 
Hauppauge Wincast TV, and if I run fxtv again it freezes instantly, 
no picture or anything.  If I then reboot in to win98 the TV viewer there
freezes too, same thing.  I have to turn the power off and reboot a couple
times before it works again.  I've had to take the bkrt0 entry out of my
kernel config to be able to use my win98 tv viewer reliably.

I'm running 3.0-BETA, recent build.  I've updated my system to ELF, 
but I haven't tried building a kernel with the bktr driver in it
since I was aout, for fear of it screwing up my win98 setup again.

is anyone else seeing similar behavior?

Jake
