yeah ... sort of ... the iTuner card works fine using the WDM drivers 
... except everytime vic is launched, you get a "select video source" 
message box & have to pick a different source for each of the four vic's 
.... everytime you go from one venue to another ... so all 4 video ports 
"work" but you have to deal with the "select video source" everytime you 
move from room to room ...
