TV Tuner Software

Hi

I have bought an August T205 USB DVB TV Tuner, and the provided software is awful to use, are there any alterntives, I have tried a few trials of ones I have found via google, ad they were no better. I am looking for software that can stay always on top, a quick EPG etc... I do not mind paying if the software is excellent. Anyone have some experience with using some software that they can suggest I take a look at?

Thanks

Windows media centre?
GB-PVR?

Can't beat how good Windows Media Center is

Windows Media Centre doesnt seem to allow me to make a small screen in the corner always on top in the corner, which is pretty much what I purchased the tv tuner for, I will have a look at the other one you mentioned

Does anyone know if the above function is possible in WMC?

It's definitely possible with GB-PVR. You do need to right click on the window in your start menu and select 'toggle force-foreground' though:

You can make a small screen always on the top corner. Check under general settings & highlight the box in the pic.
