G'day,
these cards are supported for quite some time...
You need the following entry your kernel configuration file in order to
build a kernel with support for the bktr0 device:
# MiroPCTV Tuner Card
bktr0 at pci? dev ? function ?
I am running fxtv-0.46, which needs the Xaw3D, jpeg and tiff.
Hope this helps...
cheerio Berndt
