So I got a Pinnacle HD Pro card and the packaged drivers for it suck balls. So my question for you guys is do any of you know of a really good TV tuner program that's free and suppots 1080i. I mean Ive looked but I cant seem to find one that's actually free. ( I mean if it comes to it ill Pirate the software that works but i still need to find it.)


Thanks in advanced guys.

Will this program work for you?

I'm not sure if it supports Vista *officially* (as in it's not listed) but it's definitely worth a shot.

is your processor strong enough to handle watching 1080i?

I can't say I'm sorry that I assumed you weren't able to handle what you've gotten into, George W. Bush

Could you explain "suck balls" a bit more, usually the drivers that come with your tuner card are the best (and sometimes only) option.

Yeah I don't think that this program is Vista compadible.

And "Suck Balls", is refering to it oly gets 13 or the 100 channles we goet at our house. No one on any other forum seems to know why.

Are you directly hooking it up to the cable, or going through the converter.

Its going right form the wall. I was previously hooked up to a 30 inch TV that I got rid of to place my computer on the desk it was on so I know it works.
