As I've previously posted, I recently got a Compro DVB-T200 DVB tuner card. I can't get the supplied software to work, it BSODs the computer after conflicting (seemingly) with my NForce2 sound drivers (which I tried updating to no avail). I'm currently using Media Portal which works, but is buggy; changing channels, resising the screen etc. takes ages (like 10s or more) and often results in the picture going dark or the audio going out of sync etc. The scheduled recording function seems to be completely inaccurate about when it starts and stops, and yesterday when I recorded an episode of Friends from E4 as a test it produced a file which skips every few seconds. Finally if you leave it recording it stops when the file size reaches 7.99GB- is there some other reason for this?
So, basically I'm wondering if there's a program out there which will work better. I don't need anything fancy, just a program which will let me watch TV and record it either using the EPG or just by hitting a button. I've already downloaded GB-PVR but it doesn't support the card. Right now buying software (or MCE 2005 etc.) isn't an option since the card itself has eaten my monthly toy budget, but if there's a product with a free trial that's reasonably priced I'll give it a go with a view to registering it next month.
Cheers.
