Not just picture issues. I had one Philips BT878 card that would skip every seventh frame. Probably a driver issue. There is a "You just need this one generic driver for whatever BT8X8 card" attitude...

Even with the same brand and make, manufacturers decide to replace expensive kit with cheaper variants and just don't say anything. It's not just video capture devices. This happened with the Blue...
