Tuner cards

[ted34]

Having some problems with hauppauge nova-t pci card (digital). Have installed software and drivers and it cant find standard channels when scanning and there doesnt seem to be any way to manually tune. Also the picture stutters. Thought this was maybe dual core problems but have dual core driver and also tried setting affinity but didnt work.

So any way to stop stuttering?
Any way to manually tune
Any other 3rd party tv viewing software that will work with my card?

Thanks for replies guys. Media centre is out of the question and drivers are latest. Was trying to get it setup in a hurry last night in time for bulletproof monk at 10. Turned out when plugged tv in the signal is really dodgy (only moved to this flat earlier that day). Was weird as picture is really good on film4 even though it stutters which is prob due to signal anyway.

Cpu is fx60 at 3.1ghz and cool and quiet is disabled.

Is there no other 3rd party software for tv cards?
