Hello :) I have had a TV Tuner for about a year.. it is a ATI TV Wonder PCI stand-alone card.. the bundled ATI viewing software was so-so.. quality wasn't as good as I had wanted.. recently I happened to stumble upon a link to alternate TV software.. http://www.dscaler.org DScaler works great!! A little more effort to configure.. as it is meant to handle many different types of TV Tuner cards.. image quality is MUCH better than the old software.. and there are more features to boot! I have heard there are some problems with the ATI All in wonder cards.. so YMMV on those.. but the stand-alone works great! It is fully navigable via keyboard.. but I do not think the keys are mappable.. so it may or may not work well on a cab with standard controls.. If you have a TV tuner.. do yourself a favor and check out http://www.dscaler.org, most excellent! --- screenshot attached.. of course it doesn't do it justice since it's from motion video |

It's a shame they can't add XMLTV for guides and make it more like MythTV (see screenshots) Good free Windows based PVR software is somthing we could all use! |

Thanks for the heads up. Tried it on my Hauppage and it gave me a clearer display. BobA |
