I have a Pinnacle PCTV Pro, which I like very much (comes with a very nice
remote too). But on some channels I notice a black line down the left side
with some interference in it.

I remember seeing something about this a while ago - something about an
improper ground on the card.  There was a suggested fix for it that
involved some soldering.  I can't find that website now - if anyone knows
about this I would appreciate a pointer.

I also just bought a Hauppauge WinTV/FM card on ebay ($30) so that I can
do PIP; I'm hoping that this card can do btaudio so that I don't have to
get another sound card.  After I get it working I'll write up a
comparison.
