what PVR win 7 (64 bit) software to use with this USB TV stick

[perfection]

i purchased a USB 2.0 TV stick branbded ENTER here in India but the drivers in the CD provided are not installable, I get errors saying the drivers are not for this platform and that they are not digitally signed (mandatory for win 7 64 bit). On browsing the Cd i find the drivers folder is titled win7 64 bit BUT IT IS NOT. I have downloaded the latest drivers from the website (after identifying my device precisely) enter-world.com but done of those drivers work for win 7 64 bit though the site clearly mentions that they are for it. I have downloaded all posible drivers from the site related to tv tuner sticks and boxes but nothing works

So i ask windows to search the net for suitable drivers and it installs one for me written by a company called Active Development Ltd. This solves the yellow question mark issue in device manager. However, now the software does not identify this device for Tv viewing or recording. The OEM software provided (on the CD) is Honestech TVR 2.5

i tries the trial version of ChrisTV but this too could not initialize the device and allow me to tune it,

What can i try next?

Here is the website and an image of the model i own
http://www.enter-peripherals.com/tvtuner_stick.html

and here are the specifications if of any use

• Interface: USB 2.0
• TV Tuner: Xceive XC2028 silicon tuner
• Chipsets: Trident TV Master 5600
• Video Capture Rate: 25 fp/s (PAL), 30 fp/s (NTSC)
• TV Standards: NTSC_M/J, PAL_B/D/I/M/N, SECAM_B/D/K
• Analogy Video Resolution: 720*576 (PAL), 720*480 (NTSC)
• Audio Support: Mono
• Dimensions: 7.7cm*2.6cm*1.5cm
  
  Thanks for ANY help with this iisue and if not my money is gone even before i use the peripheral

According to the website it looks like your device only allows analog tuning and capture. AmaRecTV might work. The software supports a lot of different devices with WDM drivers. I saw confirmation from someone that AmaRecTV can run on a Windows 7-64 bit system, although I think it uses 32-bit drivers, so you should install those as well.

[Edit]I should mention that if it works, AmaRecTV only provides users with the ability to watch TV and record programming using a limited number of video compressors (codecs). There is no program guide provided. Real PVR software with a guide is less likely to support lesser-known brands of TV tuners.

Yes. I use AMTV for 1 year or more. Its work flawless on Windows 7 (64bits). No necessary install 32bits drivers.

Its have full support to any "encode vfw codec" installed.

Update only DirectX and Video card drivers to get all compatibility with AMTV software.

The question is, is the AmaRecTV program installed on your PC 64-bits or 32-bits? There only seems to be one download link provided for AmaRecTV at the amamaman website, and it downloaded a 32-bit program to my 32-bit Windows 7 PC. Unless a 64-bit version of AmaRecTV is automatically downloaded to PCs using a 64-bit OS, AmaRecTV needs to have the 32-bit drivers for the capture device installed to function.

AmarecTV is a 32bits software.

Usually any capture/tv hardware install both drivers versions (32/64) for compatibility mode.

My AVERTV HD, RGC, Mygica install 1 driver only and works on Virtualdub 32-bit or 64 without doing anything.

PS: My Win is 7- 64bits

I don't know of one. Paid programs that provide MPEG-2 encoding using software tend to support only TV cards from the major players like AVerMedia, Hauppauge, and ATI.

You were willing to spend $40 for ChrisTV. Spend a bit more on a big-name TV card that records MPEG-2 and has decent Windows 7 64-bit compatible software provided by the manufacturer.
