Tuners and Media Centers

Hello all,

I'm wondering if anyone as seen a comprehensive list of the various media center applications and the tuners they support?

I have been compiling a little one.. but it could use some help.

I'm doing this mainly because my tuner isn't supported on MS's Media Center.

Microsoft Media Center: no combination cards supported (like mine - the Asus 9520, aka Nvidia Geforce 5200, which has the tuner built into the video card)

Intervideo Home Theater 2: mine works great, but they don't seem to support digial tv - so my satellite recvr won't be able to be controled by the Intervideo remote control that i got with the card...etc... (I can only choose cable or antenna as the source - not satellite or stb) Otherwise, i use it fine. Support sucks, and it has been bought by Corel recently.

Meebia - bought by Yahoo, now Yahoo! Go - TV.. seems they have a short list, haven't tried mine

Moxi TV for PC - not out yet, looks promising

Cyberlink PowerCinema - haven't tried it yet

Beyond TV - tried it in the past, didn't work. may try it again now that i have the latest drivers for all my stuff.

ShowShifter - haven't tried it.

Can anyone fill in any details so i don't have to try every one of these?
