Anyone have a Pinnacle PCTV tuner?

[fxsts]

I leaned yesterday that the card was getting the TV signal. However, as soon as I started the Pinnacle application, the system locked up.

I am going to try Dscaler tonight and see how it goes. If it doesn't work, I may really be going to step on it.

Driver 5.2 and Dscaler didn't do a thing. This card is really a POS.

i'm not using pinnacle's drivers.

using these , was posted in some old hot deal thread for the pctv pro.

give those drivers a try, and play around with the settings in dscaler.

I have tried those with Windows ME and could not get them installed before locking up the system, although I did not use ACM fix. I have already took the card out and threw it into my closet. I may try it again when I ever get motivated.

Thank you all for the helps. I am receiving my Asus tomorrow, so I am going see how it's gonna work.

I got dual OS's running in my second system one in English and another in Japanese (I need to work on some Japanese documents without getting something like this => %$#^@%!@I#*^& ).

I only have XP in English, so the choice for the Japanese OS becomes either 98 or ME. I had read somewhere that this new motherboard of mine, Asus A7N266-VM based on nVidia chipset, does not work well with Windows 98, so I picked ME. I just learned today that the board works fine with 98SE. Anyway, that's where WindowsME came from.

I started trying out all the different drivers on ME first and got totally discouraged and did not have energy left to do the same on XP.
