I am new to this so be kind
I bought a ATI TV WONDER 600 USB and the software that came with it does not install on my computer. I have a laptop with WIN XP Pro SP3
I was told that GB-PVR is the best I can find short of spending my hard earned and rapidly diminishing money on a different software. I installed the software but have some questions on configuration:
I want to watch live TV, in NEW YORK
1. I do not see anywhere support for my tuner, is there any other tuner in the list that is compatible?
2. I don't really know what EPG is and what do I need to choose in order to be able to watch of-the-air channels
Anybody?

Are you trying to receive ATSC digital channels via an antenna?

that one should work as an 'either/or' atsc/hw-analog single instance tuner...
choose the ati 650 pro and see how that goes..my 650-usb uses it also..600/650 same thing, just dual independent tuners or not..
can't use both tuners at once on 600 tho...so may need tweaking to use both tuners without conflict..[so gb will know there's a conflict when scheduling both at same time]

thats the tv guide. You will need to download xmltv compliant guide data and map the channels in the device setup. You can use the mc2xml tool for free at http://mc2xml.110mb.com/. It has instructions on how to use it with gbpvr.
