... Timeleak hd70a. installed the card and connected the splitter and tried both pinnacle studio 15 and honestech HD DVR 2.5 and no device is being recognised.

I don't know much about the hardware & software but maybe Pinnacle & HonesTech use their own drivers (which might not recognize the card) rather than Windows' DirectShow (which should recognize it):

How to capture video with the card

All of the devices listed above are DirectShow compatible, and so you should be able to capture using any program of your choice. Recommendations are VirtualDub and AmaRecTV.

Let us know how it works out (especially with your particular splitter).
