I have a Tevion tuner using the same chipset.

The bad news is that programming details do not appear to be available
from Philips and there's no official FreeBSD support.  AFAIK, the
chips are nothing like the Brooktree chips.

The good news is that there an unofficial driver at
http://download.purpe.com/ that works (for me) on 5.3.  There's also
Linux support (which may be useful for ideas).
