Anyone here have the WinTV PVR150 MCE?

[Shawn]

The WinTV cards are crap. I paid $200 for a PVR-350 and the software randomly crashes or I get BSODs. It's definitely a driver issue and they still haven't fixed it. I stopped using it all together and my computer stopped crashing. It's a piece of garbage. :|

I had those problems when windows 2000 was first released. So far so good in Windows XP.
