I very much doubt my card supports it. It's a fairly old video card with about 1MB memory. Some of the text in windows also gets corrupt when WinTV is running but I put this down to the low video memory. Still, I'll have to make do, until I upgrade soon. I just wanted to make sure that it was due to my poor machine rather than the TV card.
