Hello,

I'm looking for a simple app that I can use with a DVB-T card to scan channels and view the picture/audio. Doesn't really need another features other than that (I have PowerDVD 7 installed so have a codec already).
Just need it for testing and thought there must be a quicker way than loading Media Center/Mediaportal etc.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

DVB Viewer is what i use on the laptop as it's not a dedicated HTPC and it loads fast.

DVB Viewer is the best 'out of the box' app. Espeically if you don't want to use it like an HTPC (it doesn't seem to easily do background recording like GB-PVR does)
