The Pro version is somewhat different, as I read in the archives, but I don't know the details.

I just tried 2.4.20 (Debian's pre-patched source) + 2.4.20-kraxel + bttv 0.9.4 + xawtv 3.83 but that made things worse :-( The machine locks up immediately now. Maybe it didn't work because of older program versions still around (the box uses Debian stable instead of testing), but I don't want to mess everything up, and ...

I've just tried in on Win98 (the reason I didn't tried it before was that there was no sound driver installed and the Pinnacle TV app refuses to run without sound - this makes little sense, but luckyly I found a sound driver...) The picture quality is better than the bttv-0.7.102 results in Linux, but still not really good. Looks like I'm going to return the card and by another one tomorrow...
