How to view 2 TV channels on monitor ?

[alohapc]

I have the Hauppauge 2250 Dual Tuner TV board.
How do I watch 2 football games each in its own window ?
Since there are 2 Tuners, I thought this is possible.
But it seems the second Tuner is reserved for Recording
a channel only.
The first Tuner is for Live TV signal / channel.

I am using/testing Windows 7 Media Center for software.
Have not installed the Hauppauge WinTV software yet.
Anyone doing this ? The 2 window 2 channels thing ?

I have done this with an Avermedia dual-tuner card. The thing is, I couldn't use one app to view both channels. I had to use the Avermedia app to watch one channel, and then open another program, like BeyondTV, to watch the second channel.

There might be another way to do this, but this is the only one I know of.

Ok, thanks Mloot.
I will try installing the apps that came with the Hauppauge CD.
If that doesn't work.
I will try the app you mentioned BeyondTV.

Large screen LCDs are great if u could split the screen
and watch 2 games, left side right side !

IT WORKED !
USING WIN 7 MEDIA CENTER.
AND THE HAUPPAUGE CD SOFTWARE.

2 TV CHANNELS ON SCREEN SIDE BY SIDE !
but the remote only sees 1 pgm,
but u can set the other using the mouse.

now all gots to do is learn to listen to 2 channels
at same time ! kinda works if volume is set to
same for both TV shows.
