I'm using a PCTV Pro with XFree86 4.0.3 and fxtv 1.03 on FreeBSD
4.3-RELEASE with no problems.  I'm in North America so my tuner is NTSC
instead of PAL.  I've tested mine with Composite, S-Video, and CATV in
with no problems.  

:I copied over a configuration file from a friend in the same building, which 
:means at least the channels and frequencies should be OK. I wanted to check 
:any other options in there, but I can't find where the config file is 
:supposed to be (neither in the documentation to fxtv nor using find). 

I used the package to install fxtv, instead of compiling it.  I'm not sure
what the differences may be.  It came with a valid base configuration.

If anyone can point out how I might get the FM Tuner working, that would
be appreciated.  I see that others on this list are using FM Tuners, so I
imagine I've missed something somewhere.

The relevant bit is:
