It likely gives the same result, because this tuner is unknown to me but kbtv2 is what you should test against (kbtv1 is not developed anymore). Try MK3 tuner. Please note that for the 1.95 (RC2) release I forgot to 'make makesum' in the ports' directories, so you'll have to do that yourself, sorry.
