This is fixed in the new driver in -current.  Please try that driver
and report back.  You should probably be able to just apply the paches
from
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/brooktree848.c.diff?r1=1.16&r2=1.17
and
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/brktree_reg.h.diff?r1=1.8&r2=1.9
but I've not tried to merge this to 2.2 yet.

There might be some problems with PAL VHF cable channel selector
values; there seems to be a lot of channels that are slightly off for
me, at least.  I'm going to look at that, but it isn't high priority
for me right now.

Eivind.
