I've had big problems with Pinnacle cards on Windows a few years ago. 
Driver's wouldn't install/detect, etc. The devices simply wouldn't work 
and the software supplied was extremely flakey. Maybe things have 
changed, but if their support on their native windows platform was bad I 
wouldn't have too much hope on Linux.
