Think very very carefully before you install the latest drivers (v5.01) that are mentioned on the main site sidebar today.

I installed these on my Windows XP system and had the following issues ...

1) Abominable picture quality; from crystal clear (under v4.02) to a vile muddy grey (v5.01)!

2) Video lagged audio by 2.5 seconds!!!! - reminded me of using one of those dreadful USB TV devices. I have never seen anything this bad before when using a PCI TV card; in fact I have never seen audio/video sync problems with a PCI TV card in ordinary TV viewing mode, until I saw these drivers!

In short - completely unusable for me. I uninstalled them within ten minutes and reverted to 4.02. They may well work for somebody else, but be prepared for a big disappointment.

I really think Pinnacle should do a little more testing before releasing this kind of thing.
