Alternate TV Tuner software for AIW 2006 PCI-E?

I'm done with ATI's ridiculous MMC - it works then it doesn't.
Right now my AIW 2006 PCI-E is a brick, only the FM Radio works.
I've read posts for months with all sorts of suggestions - even going
so far as to uninstall EVERYthing, run Driver Cleaner pro, and even
reinstalled older version of drivers and MMC - all the way back to
9.03 I think - and in all sorts of combinations.

Everytime, all I get is "The TV player failed to initialize".

Surely, somewhere, there must be a decent TV Tuner app that will work
with this card (in XP SP2).

Any suggestions? Free is not an issue - just something that will
work...
TIA

Free programs was just asked and answered. Snapstream Beyond TV and M$ Media
Center seem to be the most popular commercial programs.
