Hi. i have tried TV cards from MSI, arianet, pinnacle and compro
video. the 2 companies which came out the best for accessibility were
compro video and pinnacle. All my current cards are pinnacle. the menu
is accessed by pressing the right mouse button when jaws has focus of
the window from the jaws curser, then you can record shows, switch to
full screen, change channels from a list box, adjust the screen size, in
short access various viewing options etc. it also has support for tytan
TV. you can also use page up/down to change channels and control page
up/down to turn volume up/down in realtime. the volume control is
independent of the sound card meaning that if you can't hear jaws you
just turn your tv down a bit. you can also broadcast across your home
network so other users can watch tv on their computers, so your pc acts
as the server using pinnacle's distantTV software. the settings section
requires a bit of jaws curser work but its nothing that someone even a
beginner can't get used to. compro video offer a similar interface with
a settings button and a channels section though i'm not sure what their
later software is like not having used them recently. you could also
try chris TV lite, that used to be a program that offered an alternative
to tv tuner software, i'm not sure how well it'll work for you though.
the website is:

I hope this has been of some help!

I do not know which tuner card software is accessible. I use an
on-line TV Guide, TitanTV.com, which is very accessible. It also is
designed to worrk with tuner card and Personal Video Recorder (PVR)
software. The site makes it easy to record the show that you are
browsing in the grid. It will send commands to the software to set
the recording. There are also help pages identifying and comparing
all of the TV tuner cards and software. Perhaps this will help?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Need Opinions on TV Tuner Applications with Jaws 11
Hi Folks,
I recently purchased a TV Tuner card for my PC, an internal one to be
exact.
I am currently using Windows XP Home Edition and Jaws 11 latest build.
The software to watch and record live TV with the card is almost
wholly inaccessible, so I was wondering what software I could use,
preferably free, as all my money went out the door for the card that
is accessible, or, at the very least, accessible to the tune of the
Jaws cursor, and is able to run on Windows XP.
Oh, and in case any of you are thinking about it, no, upgrading
operating systems is not an option for me at the moment.
Either way, thanks for everyone's help folks.
Scorpio
