[metallima]

Hi,

I have just bought a usb tv tuner card (In Vision) and find im having real problems with the PVR / TVR softare bundled.

Being that i have all hte drivers installed does anyone know good TV software that i can use? (all i want to do is watch tv, no need to record etc).

cheers

I only have windows xp pro and office 2003...guessing this is a seperate suite?

I ended up downloading DSCALER a freebie.... works well except i cant get SBS.

It is a special version of XP made for media center PCs and I don't think you can buy a copy from microsoft... it comes installed on media center PCs

If you have a look around winkwink you'll find it on the net its 2cd's

You can buy OEM versions of windows MCE 2005, it comes in at about $200.

There is a free media center app called MediaPortal which is open source, and from memory I think about a 28Meg download, I don't know if your USB tuner is compatible with it, but there is a list of known compatible tuners that work with it.

Might be worth a look.

Media center is included in Windows Vista Ultimate....It works well with my tuner card and records well too...

I had Vista Ult but the mediacenter program wouldn't work with my TV card.
So I had to go back to XP
