I have the pinnacle pctv sat pro pci tuner card (450i) hooked up to my satellite dish in Europe.
The pinnacle software gives me nothing but problems in both Vista and XP.
Is there another program I can use to watch TV with this card? I should be able to just install the drivers from the pinnacle CD and then use another program to actually watch TV, but I can't seem to find any.
Any help is greatly appreciated - I want to throw Pinnacle out the window. This is the second card I try in the last 3 years and they have been nothing but expensive, unstable, and unreliable. I DON'T RECOMMEND PINNACLE to anyone!!!! If you look at their forums they are full with people having the same problems. Amazing that they get away with selling junk for so much money - and even more amazing that I fell for it twice! That's it - they don't get a third chance from me.
