Said by: It doesn't seem to decode very well, very slow to respond and clunky. Some of that may be my PC, but it still is very weird feeling. Crashes quite a bit and you can't manually add channels. If it doesn't scan them in, (OTA) then you don't get it. Download Inazuma Eleven Go Chrono Stone Sub Indo Lengkap here.
It just feels bad.would like to use something a little more polished is all.few more features, etc I feel your pain. WinTV is absolutely horrible.
It looks like and 'feels' like a 1990's app. Comment Installer Un Theme Sur Iphone 4. Windows Media Center (above) is what I use, and is the best I've seen, but I assume you dont have XP MCE or Vista/Win 7 MC. I have used BeyondTV in the past and it really wasn't that bad.

Said by: Understood and accepted, but while I can deal w/ hitching or freezing occasionally, I can't deal with the crashing, slow start up time, complete lack of any features, etc. I wish there were a way you could run it to see what I'm talking about.poor performance due to horsepower isn't what is causing all of these problems.
I use WinTV (although with a more powerful PCI-E WinTV-HVR-1800 with hardware encoders/decoders) and I've not had any trouble with the software. I wonder if the slow USB device interface or the lack of hardware encoding may cause issues with WinTV? I agree with howie1 though, it looks like an early 90's program and is completely unintuitive. It does expose some information that is great for diagnostics though.
If you find an alternative that you like, I'd be interested to hear, so please update this thread. Said by Matt: I use WinTV (although with a more powerful PCI-E WinTV-HVR-1800 with hardware encoders/decoders) What is your PC spec's? Because I had the same card and it sucked on HD channels. If you read the spec's closely it says: Built-in hardware MPEG-2 encoder for recording analog cable TV, Mine worked fine for standard def cable channels even on QAM but the HD cable channels would pause and studder. And forget about doing anythign else with the computer while watching QAM channels, like recording. The system I had it in was an dual core AMD-64 4200+ (2.2Ghz) 2GB ram 2 nVidia Gforce 8800GTS cards in SLI configuration.
I had it in a Pentium E5200 (2.5GHz dual-core) with 4GB RAM (but on a 32-bit OS) using it for HD, both via OTA and ClearQAM. I was using a wimpy onboard Intel X4500HD card via HDMI. I had no trouble recording HD from the OTA antenna and on the digital QAM tuner while watching a movie off the hard drive via media center. I had stuttering problems for the longest time and eventually figured out it was the OTA signal causing them. The video would pause, stutter, and eventually MCE would go to a blue screen and report some error about the decoder.
I cleaned up my OTA signal and have had no problems since.
