Hi guyz,
i bought this Pinnacle PCTV pro tv tuner card like 6 months ago, but it does not function properly......it always creates problem. Sometimes it affects the modem and my internet connection does not work, but when i take out the card, the modem works fine. The bundled software, is even worse.........many times it hangs my comp while scanning for channels and sometimes when i open the software, it says "Hardware initialization failed". I searched for the latest drivers but could no find one......What should i do ??
PLZ HELP ME GUYZ

Use the Sourceforge drivers,they are much better than the stock drivers provided by Pinnacle.Much better picture quality and lesser resource utilization.
Also,use a good recording software such as Intervideo's WinDVR.
