It seems that I have the same dmesg as you:

bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xcddfe000-0xcddfefff irq 5 at device 11.0 on pci0
bktr0: Card has no configuration EEPROM. Cannot determine card make.
bktr0: IMS TV Turbo, Philips FR1236 NTSC FM tuner.
pci0: <multimedia> at device 11.1 (no driver attached)

I ran out of ideas (for me it works), so if it helps, here is my kernel 
settings:

# TV card
device          smbus
device          iicbus
device          iicbb
device          ic
device          iic
device          iicsmb
device          bktr
#options       BKTR_USE_FREEBSD_SMBUS # this led to lockups
#options       BKTR_GPIO_ACCESS # this led to lockups
options         BROOKTREE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT=BROOKTREE_PAL
options         BROOKTREE_ALLOC_PAGES=432 <------ this is optional

loader.conf:
bktr_mem_load="YES"

sysctl.conf (this might help)
hw.snd.maxautovchans=4
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4

Sometimes I had problems with sound+tvcard under KDE (with esound, for 
instance, but not lately).

I use this script to rip from tv btw:

I hope some of these help :)
