Thanks for the hint.

That should probably work on NetBSD too, since NetBSD's sharing the
driver with FreeBSD.
I didn't find this in the docs (of pre4); and I didn't get it to work
completely. With
	mplayer -tv on:driver=bsdbt848:device=/dev/bktr:freq=294.25:norm=PAL
it says

[...]

And then every second I get another two lines like:
Invalid frame duration value. Defaulting to 1/25 sec.

The screen is just blue the whole time.


With vo=x11, I only get an error:

Couldn't find matching colorspace - retrying with -vop scale...

Sorry, selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
VDecoder init failed :(
Can't find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x59565955 !
*** Try to upgrade /home/wiz/.mplayer/codecs.conf from etc/codecs.conf
*** If it's still not OK, then read DOCS/codecs.html!
==========================================================================

Going to 24 bit depth doesn't help, I get
vo: X11 running at 1024x768 with depth 24 and 32 bits/pixel (":0.0" => local display)
and the same error.

Also, the docs are wrong:
'h' works to change channel, but 'l' gives
	No bind found for key l

Ideas?
