Cool TV Tuner Software

Hay there what TV Tuner programs are out there? Been looking for some real good ones but nothing that really makes this card work. I'm using a Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP Expert. And ATI 9600XT What can you reccomend to give me better video, and are ther eREALLY programs to decode all the channels or is that just a myth??
thanks

Myth TV looks promising. I haven't been able to try it because I don't have a TV tuner but if i build a "home theater PC" I will probably install it.

i think some cards can decode encription where there are free channels which are scrambled (difference between 'free to air' and 'free to view'), but as for doing it for 'pay' channels i dont know, personally, i doubt it?. anyway ur gonna get yelled at if u discuss illegal ideas here so i guess if u want to find out try somewhere else?

The program just didnt seem to perform as well as I had hoped. thats why I was looking at some other options. Nothing iileagle goes on this computer, I just ran accross some sites that boasted having the software. So just got curios. Ok so I got the "Tweaker Syndrome" I just know I can get ONE more............... ops, clock speed.

I ran across Showshifter a few years ago. Seemed quite good.

http://www.showshifter.com/download/index.htm

Let me know what you think of the latest version as I would be quite interested.
