TotalMedia 3.5 alternative for DTV capture
Hello!
I have an Asus My Cinema Hybrid TV tuner card (both analog and digital TV PCI card) that came with Arcsoft's TotalMedia 3.5 application for TV viewing and capturing. I had recently reinstalled Windows 10 due to a problem, so I had to reinstall all my applications. The problem is I have lost my Arcsoft TotalMedia DVD, so I cannot install the application. I can view TV with Media Player Classic (Open Device) or capture with VirtualDub, Nero Video and others, but I need an application for using the EPG and scheduling recordings. I found TotalMedia 3.5 and downloaded it, but it asks for the CD key which was printed on the CD sleeve, and I cannot use it without it, not even for a few days as trial. So I am looking for an alternative application. I found some software, but they load in a browser without an obvious way to view live channels or capture or schedule. Others require SQL. Please recommend a "traditional" application for DTV viewing and recording without SQL or web interface. I want a standalone application, just like the good old days. Any help appreciated.
PS: Should I ask Asus about giving me a new CD key for TotalMedia?
