I just wrote a plugin for control of ATI TV cards. I would like it to work with HSTV. Let me know if you are interested. I will provide whatever source code is needed.

I'd be glad to work with you to have HSTV work with the ATI plugin.
What all are you looking at doing? Change Channels, record? etc?

CFGuy,
All I am using is a dll from ATI. It works my sending messages that are listed in the documentation. Works similar to a SendKeys method but seems more reliable.
The documentation does not list a command for "record" but has a "TV-On-Demand" function. The two are not exactly the same. I think the latter is more like a TIVO function. Should work though. I will need to do a dry run of trying to record via a script before seeing if HSTV can control it.
I did notice that it took longer than five seconds to load the TV program when it has not been loaded before. So, I will have to use a better method (i.e., loop until window found) than a timed delay.
