    Windows 7 Media Center - won't recognize HDTV or make it past channel 185

    I've been having a little trouble getting my Pinnacle HDTV card to work on W7 7100 and now finally got it, though it won't go past channel 185. I'm using a straight-from-the-wall coax, so no cable box. Pinnacle's TVCenter program worked fine in XP and displayed channels 200+, which were local...

    Windows 7 TV Tuner - Pinnacle PCTV HD - Doesn't work well at all!

    It worked initially on Pinnacle's TVCenter Pro (ver. 4.9), then tanked after that. Media Center plays somewhat, but it's at a very choppy frame rate even though my system isn't nearly maxed. On top of that, and even primarily, Media Center doesn't recognize the digital tuner nor does TVCenter...
