I am tryng to find a pvr program that is as the subject line says
reliable, easy to use, and works. Is there such a beast out there at a
reasonable cost? system here is XP sp2 and Leadtek Winfast pvr2000.

Since you're posting in a Windows Media Center newsgroup, you're probably
going to get a lot of people recommending that.

I'm not saying you posted to the wrong group, you may get some valid
opinions here. It's just that this group is specifically supporting MS
Windows Media Center Edition, which is PVR software (in part), so most
people here have choosen that as their software of choice. You just aren't
going to get a good cross-section of opinions. Kind of like going to a
Rolling Stones fan site and asking who is the greatest Rock and Roll band,
the data may be skewed a bit.
You you probably do better at a general Home theater web site that has a
forum.

Personally there are some annoying things about XP MCE. There are a couple
of choices out there. Look at Beyond TV or Sage TV. Both are decent, but
there
are a number of choices, most offer free trials. Try them all and make your
own decision.

I am interested about what you find annoying about MCE.

I love Windows MCE 2005. I have a standard definition tuner (which I have
to have but would love to get rid of) and two high-definition tuner cards
from AverMedia (the only card I know that supports dual hdtv tuners in MCE).
I have removed all the standard definition channels from my guide and I only
record high def programs. I can record two shows at the same time or record
one and watch another. I love this system. Terminator 3 in high-definition
over-the-air was incredible. The picture quality is so much better than
DVD. I currently record Smallville, Alias, CSI, Tonight Show, Conan O'Brian
and Saturday Night Live on a regular basis.
However, you have to have a lot of disc space -- T3 was 23 GB after
recording. I had given up on tv/cable tv a long time ago, but high-def
programming has lured me back in.
