The tv tuner card usually comes with software to view tv. If the card came with the laptop it might be pre loaded.

My tv tuner came with Winfast PVR

It really depends on the brand of card you have. The only players i can find only work on certain brands of tv tuner cards...

Maybe you could try something like Showshifter.

Edit: You still would need to drivers for it though, maybe check around look for a cd?

If u wanna get one check the computer store threads on here, for example:

http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?t=17756&highlight=Computer+Stores
http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?t=24599&highlight=Computer+Stores
http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?t=7595&highlight=Computer+Stores

Just do price comparisons and go to the cheapest and most reputable computer store and get a price match, however the larger stores generally dont price match and are more expensive
