I hope I'm in the right forum with this.

I recently bought a Gigabyte 7NNXP motherboard and a 200GB Maxtor SATA HDD. I installed them on my PC. Also I installed my PinnaclePro tunerTV card. The picture of the tuner is fine. Well, right now the problems start. If the HDD begin to work intense (like a transfer betwen the partition for example or to another HDD) the image of the tuner is jamming (lines horizontally on image apear). This is realy annoying, believeme! I took a HDD IDE (IBM 60GB) from my friend and put it on the PC, with the OS installed on it, and boot from it; all this troubles are gone. No jamming. When I copy something from one HDD to another (with the tv tuner opened) the jamming appear again. I want to mentioned that I tried everything: drivers update (NFORCE of my Mobo, SATA drivers, Pinnacle tuner, BIOS update - I also activated the Spread Spetrum setings of CPU, AGP in BIOS ). No results. Please! Help me to solve this problem.
Thanks!

Your issues have to do with your license for XP.
Macrovision, Windows Media Player and others are not happy with your XP installation.

I am amazed that your friends 60 gig. swap allowed you to boot, and run XP. But you need to clean up your digital rights issues, and your installed version of XP.
 
I installed the 60Gb IDE HDD, istalled a fresh WinXP, istalled the drivers, aplication etc... and then I run the tuner Tv aplication, transfer betwen HDD etc.
I don't understand what do you mean by "Your issues have to do with your license for XP". And all the other aplication works great, with no problem (Windows Media Player, or other movie players). The problem apears only in TV viewing mode of the tuner aplicatin (so when the RF signal is used). If I use the VCR mode of the tv tuner aplication, for playingback movies, there is no problem. It seems to be like a radiofrequency jamming betwen my HDD and tuner. This can be solved somehow?
