Hi!

I have PixelView PlayTV Pro2. A small label on the box also says
PV-M4500(W/FM, RC). Needless to say I tried everything that came to my mind 
and I could read up on the Internet with very little luck.

All I get is a single channel (number19) but the program I get shows on 
channel 78 when using Windows. Radio doesn't work at all. Neither does the 
remote control but that's my least problem now. I tried with fxtv and xawtv 
on 6-Stable as of 02/28/2006 (FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE i386)

I noticed that Karol's post
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-multimedia/2006-January/003570.html
lists the same pciconf -l -v output as mine:

bktr0@pci1:7:0: class=0x040000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x036e109e rev=0x11 
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Conexant (Was: Brooktree Corp)'
    device   = 'Bt878/Fusion 878A Mediastream Controller'
    class    = multimedia
    subclass = video
none3@pci1:7:1: class=0x048000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x0878109e rev=0x11 
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Conexant (Was: Brooktree Corp)'
    device   = 'Bt878/Fusion878A Video Capture (Audio Section)'
    class    = multimedia

The following settings seems to "work" best for me:
hw.bt848.slow_msp_audio: -1
hw.bt848.format: -1
hw.bt848.reverse_mute: -1
hw.bt848.tuner: 7
hw.bt848.card: 22

Here is the dmesg output:

bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xe6100000-0xe6100fff irq 19 at device 7.0 on pci1
bktr0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
bktr0: Card has no configuration EEPROM. Cannot determine card make.
bktr0: MT2032: Companycode=7878 Part=78 Revision=78
bktr0: MT2032 not found or unknown type
bktr0: Pinnacle/Miro TV, Temic PAL I tuner.

Using tuner=2 does the same

Does anyone know how to get this card working or if it doesn't work for sure. 

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thanking you in advance,
Stoyan
