Try MythTV.

On some of the older cards, for sound to work, you need to plug a audio cable from the audio-out of the card to the audio-in/line-in of your souncard (onboard audio). Have you made the connections properly ?

try media player classic home cinema.
In that File > Open Device.
You need to switch on the tuner and keep it on some channel first. You can use MPCHC to record too i think.

it is powercinema..it is working but it is not giving sound, there is one other software, blazehdtv which is giving both sound and video but it has a major bug that its brightness automatically becomes zero, it is a bug with this software when it is cracked.

Leave recording apart, as far my experience no one can beat stability as well compatibility by directly open device in media players like Dscaler, KMPlayer, Media Home Classic.
