My wife and I purchased a new HP Media Center PC a while back, and it has the TV card, etc...

I want to watch TV while I do homework, check email, etc. but I cannot get the TV window to stay on top of the desktop. I know there are TV cards out there with software that keep the TV window on top. Is there a way to do this in Media Center? If so, can anyone help me out? Right now, all I can do is listen to it in the background, or click back and forth... This will suck come game time tonight!

somewhere in the options theres one to keep it on top im pretty sure. i never had to worry about it though because ive got multiple displays

my hauppage software has that option built in, but I think the program has to have the option, as I dont believe you can 'On Top' anything in windows (but it is built into gnome, kde, xfce +)

you could try somthin like

or just

though, most on that list cost a little

Thanks for the help! Found a combo of programs which do exactly what I wanted! TV stays on top, but is transparent enough for me to work behind it! Thanks again!
