Comment by katykat
Can you tell me if this card works with freeview?
Yes
Not for Vista 64bit by Lon
Pinnacle claims ths card is 'Certified for Windows Vista'!
32bit maybe but not 64bit! I foolishly bought Vista Home Basic (no Media Centre) as I was going to use the media centre functionality that comes with the card (TVCentre Pro) but it doesnt work on 64bit!
You can find a Vista 64Bit Driver here:

Review by yan
bought this the other day and arrived next day,great service from aria btw.
didnt work properly with my asrock dual-vsta mothboard and the c-media onboard audio(which was the culprit)no matter what i tried, best i got was jerky playback and sound.its mentioned on the pinnacle website that some onboard sound chips are problematic and there are workarounds but as ive said above, it wouldnt work properly when i tried these.
eventualy i put it in the kids pc with an asus motherboard and ac97 onboard sound and it works a treat,a bargain for the money and id recommned the product as when it works it works well
ive put the kids haupauge tv card in mine and it works fine.
