the pinnacle card will not work with MCE as this card is not supported,MCE supports a limited no of cards,such as those from Hauppage.Instead u can use the pinnacle mediacentre software,available from their site.The pctv software crashes because there is a known incompatibility between PCTVand Xp service pack 2.u could try updating the drivers.a better option would be to use the sourceforge drivers and a recording app. such as WinDVR.They give much better quality and a hell of a lot of tweaking options.
