I am looking for a new TV display program. I have 2 TV cards, an Asus TV880 and an ATI TV Wonder PCI 200, and I don't like either of the programs they came with.
I am looking for a program which will display the signal without distorting it (I have a 20" widescreen monitor) and possibly allow recording to an avi file, but also be relatively simple. The ATI program takes too long to load, and the PowerVCR I that came with the Asus card crashes when trying to record and has bad display, along with a few other issues. Both distort the signal when I go full screen, stretching it wide.
I don't own a TV, and prefer to watch through my computer. I have a very small apartment with only one room, just big enough for my desk and bed. I use an external DVR digital cable box from Comcast. It makes scheduling recordings for TV shows easier. I would like to save some of the shows I currently have recorded in the DVR to computer files, but that is kind of low priority compared with just displaying it correctly.
Oh, I'd also prefer to keep the cost down to $50 to $80. If necessary, I can go buy another TV card, but I'd prefer to keep away from doing that. An independant program, working with nearly any TV card, would be preferred.
Any ideas?
