Hi Jon
I use a leadtec card, which I must say is a real pain to get around, but
once you understand its little idiosyncrasies, It all works fine,
although it does appear at first look that the winfast t.v. software
that comes with the card is completely inaccessible, but like I said,
with a little instruction and patience it all works fine
Cheers, James

Scott, what TV tuner card do you have? I've been looking for one, for
space
limitations, and my TV is old but have heard a lot of mixed reviews on
TV
tuner cards that work and don't with jaws as well as what works at all
looking at reviews.
