what tv recording software do you use?

[lamplighter]

I have a Hauppauge WinTV Go FM card and need some really good software to record shows at certain times. The software that comes with it doesn't have a timer (although there is some software for download at their site, it is not yet available for XP), and it records the AVI high quality version at 8 mb/sec. I found Showshifter which seemed great but has messed up (completely didn't do 2 recordings for no apparent reason and then kept stopping in another one, and that is only out of 7 recordings).

Anyways, what do you use? I seriously need a good one -- I can't miss Survivor again BTW, I am fine with a 60 minute show taking up around 10 gigs because I have the space and delete it after I watch it, I just want a recording that looks good full screen and will work 100% of the time!

I use ATI's MMC 7.1 with my TV wonder and it works surprisingly well. Though, I don't suppose this will help you with your Huappage card.

I suggest then Intervideo's WinDVR or maybe Showshifter.

Hmm.. has anyone got WinDVR to work with WinXP? Because it isn't working for me, and XP isn't listed on the site.

On to the next one I guess
