Fastest TV Tuner software?

I recently purchased a Hauppauge PVR150 TV tuner so I could run console games on my monitor. I'm trying to find the best TV tuner software for playing games on - I've tried a couple, and many have delays or lag because of feature creep (recording, post-process image correction stuff, etc.) Can anyone recommend a particular software app? Ideally, I'm looking for as feature-free a software package as I can find - I just want it to mirror the video signal directly to the monitor. Thanks for any help! :)

Thats not because your specific software is slow, it because the signal has to be processed then sent through the mobo to the video card which causes the delay. The PVR150 has a hardware encoder on it so the TV software isn't doing much other than displaying the mpeg2 stream given to it by the tuner card. The 1-2 second delay is a well known issue with some (don't want to say all, cause I don't know) tuner cards and is completely a hardware limitation.
