Windows PVR tool and media centre
If you purchase a high-spec gaming PC, you'll often find your graphics card ships with a TV tuner. You might want to take advantage of this TV tuner and use your computer to record TV programmes to your hard drive. Short of installing Windows Media Center, the best option is the freeware available for you to download. GB-PVR is a fully featured Personal Video Recorder (PVR) solution, enabling you to schedule TV recordings and view and pause live TV. In additional to PVR functionality, it also acts as a media centre so you can watch movies, listen to music, view pictures and listen to FM radio. GB-PVR supports specialist hardware decoders including Sigma Designs XCard, Hauppauge PVR350 and Hauppauge MediaMVP. GB-PVR also supports multiple tuners, allowing you to record more multiple channels at one time. You'll need a supported TV tuner card. A complete and current list of cards can be found at the GB-PVR homepage.
