Steve,

Chaogui's patch fixed Tim's XC5000 initialization problem  -- we should

That patch seems to have made the card stable on my system now. I have my fingers crossed. Thanks! I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate the help with this.

Where my other cards, the ATI HDTV Wonder and the Kworld 110 ATSC can barely pick up anything over the air, even with a good antenna, the Pinnacle 800i picks up pretty much everything using an antenna I made from 6 coat hangers and a 2x4! (and it's not even amplified, no pre-amp, nothing) Amazing!
