Hey everyone I just bought a new tv tuner card from tigerdirect, but the reviews said the software it comes with is total garbage. So i was hoping you guys could suggest some better software, so i have it before my card arrives. Thanks in advance. here's the link to the card
Software for TV Tuners is typically proprietary to the card. I think you're SOL on this one. However, "the reviews" are usually subjective so you may not think it's garbage. BTW, Newegg had the Sabrent card for $14.99 last week. I looked at it but decided on the K-World for $19.99.
o well, thanks for the tip. Hopefully I'll be more impressed than the other reviewers. I only bought this one because it was cheap and I got free shipping with the rest of my order.
I don't know if this tuner card will be compatible, but I use a program from SnapStream called Beyond TV. You can download a trial from their website and test it with your tuner card. http://www.snapstream.com/download/beyondtv/ If you use Linux, you can try a program called MythTV (it may not work with this tuner card). http://www.mythtv.org/detail/mythtv There are some projects in the works to port MythTV to Windows. If you have a lot of free time you can follow the steps on the following site as a means of running MythTV within Windows via a virtual machine. http://www.techwandering.com/2007/01/03/how-to-run-mythtv-on-windows/
