TV Tuner software

[Widya Santoso]

I have just bought a Leadtek DTV USB dongle, and I wondered if there was
any TV tuner software that I can use? One of the things I see with most
reviews of TV tunder hardware that they come with pretty poor software, so
I thought I'd ask and see if there were any freeware that would do the
job.

the leadtek software is extreamly good!!!
you are talking about the winfast TV application?

Its one of the best! I use it all the time

another tv app (free) is this http://www.avsmedia.com/TVBox/index.aspx

but it doesnt come near to winfast tv app....

Yaou can see the list here. I recommend you try ATV2000 or K!TV, ChrisTV
Lite is also good.

Hi Widya,

You don't say what OS you're using, but if Linux I'd suggest MythTV. It's
free and VERY nice!

Turns your computer into a full PVR with MUCh more, depending on what you
want.

FWIW,

I have found "TV plugin for Winamp" to be very good. It uses very
little CPU time when compared to all the other TV Tuner software I have
tested.
