Need good viewing software for my TV tuner, Must be useable with in windows. I tried the myth tv port to windows and it was too complicated, Im also looking for a program which lists whats coming on and such in a schedualed format.
Try GB-PVR (http://www.gbpvr.com/) It's a great front-end HTPC app, but can also be windowed.

make sure you have all the settings correct because according to the media portal website your card is supported

it only takes about 20-30 secs to load up mine
well i didn't see your tuner card listed as supported for these, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't work. anyway, they're all free...
