I searched many mailing lists for this. But yuo're right. The bktr
development doesn't continue since 2000, there is only some 2.19 devel
version available also from 2000. It would be greate to start a new
project maybe based on the original bktr, inspired by bttv. The problem

Try this:
sysctl hw.bt848.card=N
N...1-13 (id of the tunner type)
Try all of them and check the xawtv behaviour with each.
I had another problem with tunner, but this helped me.
This command and tunner IDs are described in the manual page for bktr.
