Pinnacle PCTV Stereo and MSI KM4M-V mb

Question

I cannot run my Pinnacle PCTV Stereo card on my new MSI KM4M-V motherboard, regardless of the BIOS settings, IRQ assignments, operating systems (Win ME, 2k, XP) and of the inserting the PCTV card in any of the three PCI slots available.
However, after installation, the "PCTV Assistant" does not report any problems!
Nevertheless, only various stripes appear in the TV window, and no sound at all. Channel scan brings nothing. However, while scanning, on finding the not empty TV channel, the pattern in the TV window changes from more or less random set of white spots (like snow) towards some stripes.
The same PCTV Stereo card worked fine with my previous motherboards (ASUS CUPLE-VM, ASUS CUSL2, AsRock K7S41GX).
The PCTV card is the only PCI card installed. The hardware configuration is: Sempron 2400+, graphics and sound - integrated with the mb, DDR 512 MB in one module, HDD WD Caviar 80 GB 8MB cache.
Maybe somebody could help me resolving this problem? Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Hi,
so far I could not try another PSU.
In the meantime, I was informed that there can be the problem of the type of PCI interface. If the tv tuner was PCI 2.2 compliant, no problems should occur. Could anybody tell me more about these types of PCI interfaces? What I found elswhere in the net it was the division of TV tuners into 3 groups regarding the PCI interface: "PCI cards", "PCI 2.2" and "PCI 2.3". I presume that the my one belongs just to the first group (PCI cards), like the majority of the TV tuners on the market.
Can anybody tell me about the differences between these types of interface, and maybe you could help me overcome this conflict, IF IT IS REALLY A CONFLICT!
