Well, anything up to 999.999 MHz works, but 1000 doesn't.  That seems a
rather arbitrary cut-off, so I assume either mplayer or the bktr driver
has a problem passing 4-digit (1000 and up) values to the tuner card
in radio mode.  MPlayer reports:

While with "-tv freq=" I can easily go above 1000 MHz without problems.

Exactly right.
