I swear, this is really stupid. Tonight I verified my 3rd TV tuner card has died. It all started a few years ago when I bought an ATI All-in-Wonder Pro. 7 months after I got it, the tuner died. Sent it back to ATI and got another one. Then that one got fried along with a mobo from a brownout (doesn't make sense I know). My Voodoo3 3500TV started acting up as well to the point where the computer would not boot consistently so I dumped that. Now, my VoodooTV 200 has kicked the bucket. The drivers disappeared from my comp and everytime I shut down the computer I get a blue screen and "memory parity error". WTF? Parity memory hasn't been used for years. When I try to install drivers for the card, Windows tells me the driver is incompatible with the hardware. I swear, I'm done with fscking TV tuner card POS.

<-- Now in the market for a 20" Tau.
