Di you ever stop to consider that it's more likely than not firmware / 
driver issues causing people to have problems?  I can recreate the exact 
same symptoms as described using my PVR250s (two different types I might 
add) by using certain combinations of drivers / firmware.

Ask yourself this:  Which is more likely?  The manufacturer sold a bunch 
of cards that didn't even come close to working as capture cards (but 
work for a lot of people) or some people have had software / cable 
issues and blamed it on the hardware.
