I just got my Pinnacle PCTV pro card working under Linux, but unfortunately the image quality is a lot worse than under Windows. I've experimented with various filter and deinterlacing settings in MPlayer, which helps a bit, but still the image is more noisy and not as crisp as under Windows. Do I configure my drivers wrongly or is it some other software issue? Thanks!
