Still slightly confused.

I think you have a wireless webcam.

A wireless receiver.

You have a stand alone video camera that you can use to receive the signal but that requires you to switch tapes every hour, n/g on that. (thought you were using the video camera as the "webcam"

So you have receiver going into WinTV card but picture sucks.

Is it a mini DV video camera?

Most of them have Firewire.

They can be used as pass through devices for VCR to PC input.

Do you have a firewire port on the PC?

Basically use the video camera and eliminate the WinTV as the potential problem.

Should also be able to use the editing SW that came with the video camera.

Might also work if the camera has USB and separate analog inputs.
