    Re: Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick review?

    Did you install the MCE2005 pluggin from the CD?  Instructions for doing this are in the instructions that came with the device.  If you did this, could you outline what you have tried?  I used the "set up channels" or something like that under Settings->TV.  First it asked me to set up my ananlog tuners.  This is the point where I chose to not set up the analog tuner in the pinnacle device.  Then it asked if my digital tuner was connected to the antenna.  Then it went through a signal strength test for the digital channels.  Any of this sound familiar to what you did?

    I haven't done any research on your setup...but how do you have all those tuners installed?  I too have an HP Media Center (unfortunately...had to buy before the MCE 2005 era, would have rather built my own), and it is packed with only 1 tuner :-(

    Re: Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick review?

    I have this pro stick too connected to my Vista Ultimate box. I downloaded and installed their latest patches and get nothing. Their software barely works, and wipes out my audio drivers, and MCE gets a video signal one frame at a time. I have a dual core 3.0 with 2 gigs of ram, running SVideo out of a Directv H20 HD box.. Any ideas on how to make the device work better, or at all? Pinnacles customer service is greatly lacking. Any  info would be appreciated. Thanks.
