Hi !

Today I bought a TV card name "Typhoon TV Tuner". It has the BT848 chip
on board and with winsuck it works. After adding bktr0 to my kernel
the card will get loaded like this:

bktr0 <BrookTree 848> rev 18 int a irq 12 on pci0:11:0
Miro TV, Temic NTSC tuner.

The first thing is, that it should be a PAL tuner, so why does it say
it's NTSC (under winsuck it works as a PAL tuner).

When I try to start fxtv (v.047, FBSD 2.2.7Rel) I get a window but
nothing happened even when I try the correct setting (input-mode
cable weurope, palbdghi, tuner etc.). Sometimes I get a strange picture
as if it really uses NTSC even though I told the card to use
PAL. The picture is scrambled but divided in 4 parts of the window. It's
black & white and it only moves when I hold one of the menue buttons
(file, input etc.). When I don't hold the mouse then the picture freezes.

I tried it with 15bpp and 16bpp. I also tried some frequencies from
a list where I can test exact frequencies on the cable for getting
a streaming picture. But after trying that the picture is black.

So what to do now ?

I also tried fxtv -debug startup. Here's the output:

Fxtv v0.47

Maybe this card is not supported ? Anyone has tried it yet ? Any hints ?

Thanx !
