kjunny,
I have just purchased a Pinnacle card. This is working fine with windows. How can I run it in Linux?
With the correct installation and settings, it can work great. My Pinacle/Miro card works better in Linux than it does in windows. With the newer distirbutions it is configured semi-automatically. A typical application to fire it up and see if it works is "xawtv". Try it, you might be surprised.
