New TV-Viewer GUI application for TV cards on Linux

[Laquan]

I look for the GUI application which can control TV cards such as Hauppauge PVR 150 which I am using on my Linux system. Because tvtime and Kdetv which i was trying to use don’t support this device other than this I have tried MythTV or Freevo programs but they just excess the TV watching on the system. So I am looking for the program which will run on all platforms without much issue, so if anyone having idea about such application please let me know.
