Yep, morethan likely the software that came with that card may have
presented some problems and the card may have had problems integrating
with Windows Media Center, you could probably tell me more about that
one, I've seen devices that take to Windows Media Center like a duck to
water and others that will only work with the supplied software.
I had an old Leadtek card 7 years ago I think it was and the software
that came with it was reasonably useable though Windows Media Center is
far more flexible than the Leadtek Siftware ever was.
So I await the arrival of the FetchTV box with quite a bit of excitement.

I used to have a builtin card, but I never found it accessible. I think it was
a Haupage TV card.
And I know what you mean; it's a shame that Microsoft doesn't do the
Mediacenter in Windows 10 anymore.
Take care,

Okay, that's one way of doing things, I take it what you've outlined is a U.S.
only thing right?
FetchTV also does similar things to what you're talking about, I was
specifically referring to Free-To-Air programming received with a TV
Antenna.

I know that that's not what you're talking about, but we have an internet
offer called Save-TV which for a mothly fee lets you record nearly any
program available and stores the movies/shows for a month during which
time you can download them in various formats.
Obviously it's not the same, but a very good and useful alternative for
nearly every program.

Hi!
I was very sad to learn that Microsoft have decided not to continue
the development of Windows Media Centre which came as a standard
part
of Windows 7 Home Premium and above and was available as an optional
extra for Windows 8.x, it won’t be available for Windows 10.
So what does one do for video recording on a Windows computer.
There’s only one option I know of and that’s XBMC however the last
time I tired this with Windows 7 I couldn’t access it in any way
shape or form, there might be ways to set it up so it can be
controlled or accessed from the XBMC Controller Smart Phone Apps and
that’s something I’m investigating.
So - assuming all is lost for Windows - what now?
It looks as though its time to place some faith in the FetchTV Set Top Box.
The Smart Phone Apps are very accessible to the point where you can
schedule programmes to be recorded from the TV guide.
So what’s all this got to do with the Windows PC? The recordings you
make can be accessed by our computer if you want to do things that
way, you can play them with Windows Media Player, VLC or whatever.
