OK, so it takes a bit for me to be clued in and it's quite possible I'm still not there. Here's what I think I know. I have a bktr(4) card with an onboard NTSC tuner. I can't control the bktr(4) setup channel and broadcast type because there is no radio(4) device attached, probably? because the auto-detect of the tuner failed? My plan is to pull the card, and verify what tuner is on it. Then build a new kernel based on GENERIC adding option BKTR_OVERRIDE_TUNER and possibly option BKTR_OVERRIDE_CARD to see if I can get a radio(4) device attached. My purpose in going through all this is to capture video on my OpenBSD system and stream it on my local network to a PrismIQ media player. thanks for all y'all's assistance diana
