TV is limited to the bktr driver, see man bktr
In short TV cards with the bt848 or bt878 chip
(and very early bt8x8 compatible conexant chips).
CX23xxx will not work.
There are two apps to watch TV,
fbtv (needs some editing not explained clearly) and
xawtv
xawtv can further be hacked to allow the, imvho better, motv
Mplayer and vlc also should work.

Greetings,
Just wondering if anyone here is using/has used OpenBSD to view TV and
if so what hardware and software they use/d. I gather from looking
through the hardware and packages pages that a combined tuner/video
capture device supported by bktr(4) and the fxtv package imported from
FreeBSD may work?
I'm thinking of putting together a second-hand box in our kitchen as a
gift for my other half so any thoughts on minimum hardware specs would
be appreciated too.
Cheers,
Damon
