vista. According to ati its a microsoft issue....anyone have any clue when
this will be corrected? that part of the card sits with a question mark on
my deivce manager.

don't hold your breath

ATI blames Microsoft, Microsoft blames ATI - you know the drill
Pony up for a new card, never mind that your "old" one is still being sold
and on store shelves -right now-.
There's $ to be made.

It isn't that they -can't- release working drivers, they just choose NOT to.

What card is it? If it's the older one with the 200 chip there's a
workaround that I've had luck with.

It worked for me on an old 9000 series card (or was it an 8500) Radeon
AIW. Tuner works great.

HTH,

Confirmed - works here as well on an AIW 2006 PCI Express
you're just gonna have to google for the file outlined in the instructions
(ati_LH_RC0_32.exe) but it IS out there.

Makes you wonder doesn't it?
Obviously there isn't anything extraordinary in the OS preventing these
tuners from functioning, and obviously with the right drivers the tuners
WILL work, so it is just all about money then.... isn't it?

Glad it worked for you John.

As to the other, sometimes I think it's just ignorance on ATIs side. They
should know about these tweaks before we do. Maybe they do and just don't
want to deal with support for users that try it and don't get it to work.
Maybe they're waiting to see how many copies of Vista sold in the first
month (allocation of resources and all that). It's been my experience that
drivers are very much an after-thought with many hardware vendors (of
course, ATI Catalyst drivers have their own history).

Wait im sorry i started the thread..... if i go to that earlier link theres
a good chance it may work with my card? Its a all in wonder 2006 edition
with a x1300 video. I was able to go get the latest vista driver for the
video part obviously but the tv tuner card part sits with a question mark in
my device manager.
 
thanks .... im havin a hard time searching for that driver.....plus im using
the 64 bit vista ..... ati seems to have taken the link down so now its a
matter of finding a site that has it stored.
 
OK i was able to get it to work with the am cap program .... this am cap is
pretty primitve compared to what i had with the ati software obviously i
guess ill give them a few weeks or months to see if the proper drivers come
out ... in the meantime this is better than nothing thanks again .....i
wasnt totally clear though from reading if people were able to get their tvs
to work with windows media center though...was anyone?
