I've built a computer that I eventually plan to run MythTV on.  Right now
I'm checking out all the hardware under Windows XP to make sure everything
works. My system has 3 Pinnacle PCTV Pro TV tuners, and using them under
Windows has brought up the following questions:

1.  How do I know that I definitely have the Pro version of the Pinnacle
PCTV tuner?  The boxes that the tuners came in definitely say "Pro" on them,
and they also say "stereo", which is the reason that I wanted the Pro
version.  However, the user's manual seems to say that the Pro version also
has a FM tuner, which these cards don't seem to, and I haven't been able to
get stereo sound to work with the included software.

2.  Will these cards be able to record TV sound without a jumper from the
tuner to my sound card?  I thought I saw something on one of the MythTV
mailing lists that said that these cards didn't require the jumper, but
under Windows, the only way I can get sound is to jumper to my sound card.
This is important to me, because I want to run MythTV with 3 tuners, and I'm
worried about running out of ways to jumper tuners to my sound card.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Drew
