I had that hardware error thing with the Twinhan PCI card, although it was 
because I had a misaligned aerial, which for some reason caused the error 
whenever it was trying to tune in to something. Also with good reception, the 
picture would just freeze at times, and I would have to restart the program. 
never had this problem with the Linux driver+xine :) (although kaxtv will 
just sometimes crash for no reason, that's obvious).
Just leads me to believe that the win drivers/software aren't exactly great.
Sounds like the USB version kinda sucks anyhow.
