Windows Media Center - Alternative?

I just got me a usb freeview stick - working quite well, well it was.

Then the bundled software - ArcSoft Total Media 3 gave up on the EPG - really annoying! - and a Google offers no solutions - any ideas?

As an alternative, because I wasn't getting anywhere with the above I thought I'd give WMC a go - I don't like the interface as much as ArcSoft (I got used to it even if it is a bit budget), most irritatingly when using a multi monitor setup one has to press the windows key to switch between monitors! Grr! - I didn't have to do that with ArcSoft!

So... are there any decent alternatives to WMC - must offer an EPG and a recording facility. Preferably free, or v cheap - WMC is free after all (when bundled with Vista like I have it)... or should I just try to stick with WMC?

(Also, if anyone has a fix for the EPG in ArcSoft Total Media it would be much appreciated!)
