I'm running an Asus MyCinema U3100mini ATSC on Windows 7 64-bit.

Is there any way to disable the live TV pause buffer completely? If not, can anyone recommend alternative software that:

Works with the MyCinema.
Is lightweight and not horribly bloated with features I'll never use like Windows Media Center is.
