There are always free 3rd party PVR software offerings for use in Windows from 2000 to Vista. The one I use & love is from New Zealand & called GB-PVR. Another is Media Portal (very difficult to set up)…while a 3rd free one is from Yahoo (as easy as Media Center…only with ads).

Have used Media Center 2005…but I find it a poor choice. The files are recorded in a proprietary Microsoft format…recognizes broadcast flags sent out with the programming. The latter so that you can’t use the recorded file on anything but the PC it was recorded on.

Something you do need to realize that with any 3rd party product used in the US…after September 1st, 2007…you will lose access to Zap2it US TV listings. Yahoo & Media Center will still have access…due to paying Zap2it for the use of the listings…but free use will be out.

Hey Dmitry, Basically, you shouldn’t have any problem using your TV tuner under Windows XP. To my knowledge there are no TV tuner cards out there that ONLY work under Vista. In fact, the thing that most people have to worry about is whether their TV tuner card will work under Vista when upgrading to it from Windows XP. The other thing is that all TV tuner cards that work under Media Center Edition (Vista or Windows XP) have a certain baseline of functionality and compatibility that make them work with most 3rd party software packages. So you can count on what you have working in our Beyond TV software or with most other 3rd party software packages. Sincerely, Rakesh (SnapStream)
