if your card is digital, which means being able to receive dish/sat signals,
then the best option for you is to use smart dvb, the channel list of many
satelites are available on internet as well.

Hi. i have tried TV cards from MSI, arianet, pinnacle and compro video.
the 2 companies which came out the best for accessibility were compro
video and pinnacle. All my current cards are pinnacle. the menu is
accessed by pressing the right mouse button when jaws has focus of the
window from the jaws curser, then you can record shows, switch to full
screen, change channels from a list box, adjust the screen size, in short
access various viewing options etc. it also has support for tytan TV.
you can also use page up/down to change channels and control page up/down
to turn volume up/down in realtime. the volume control is independent of
the sound card meaning that if you can't hear jaws you just turn your tv
down a bit. you can also broadcast across your home network so other
users can watch tv on their computers, so your pc acts as the server using
pinnacle's distantTV software. the settings section requires a bit of
jaws curser work but its nothing that someone even a beginner can't get
used to. compro video offer a similar interface with a settings button
and a channels section though i'm not sure what their later software is
like not having used them recently. you could also try chris TV lite,
that used to be a program that offered an alternative to tv tuner
software, i'm not sure how well it'll work for you though.
the website is:
www.chris-tv.com/
I hope this has been of some help!

I do not know which tuner card software is accessible. I use an on-line
TV Guide, TitanTV.com, which is very accessible. It also is designed to
worrk with tuner card and Personal Video Recorder (PVR) software. The
site makes it easy to record the show that you are browsing in the grid.
It will send commands to the software to set the recording. There are
also help pages identifying and comparing all of the TV tuner cards and
software. Perhaps this will help?

Hi Folks,
I recently purchased a TV Tuner card for my PC, an internal one to be
exact.
I am currently using Windows XP Home Edition and Jaws 11 latest build.
The software to watch and record live TV with the card is almost wholly
inaccessible, so I was wondering what software I could use, preferably
free, as all my money went out the door for the card that is accessible,
or, at the very least, accessible to the tune of the Jaws cursor, and is
able to run on Windows XP.
Oh, and in case any of you are thinking about it, no, upgrading
operating systems is not an option for me at the moment.
Either way, thanks for everyone's help folks.
Scorpio
