Ati Radeon AIW 8500 (TV won't tune itself - no channels listed)

I can't get the ATi TV tuner to work anymore. I've even resorted to
uninstalling all ATi drivers, and just using the CD supplied (it used to
work).

Before reinstalling all drivers, when the TV was started, there were no
channels listed. When I click the "Autoscan" button, nothing happens...
screen flickers once, then nothing.

After reinstalling drivers supplied on CD, when I start the TV, I get
the standard setup screens and it then gets to the Fast/Exhaustive
search options. It then wants to know if I'm using cable or antenna,
but the "Autoscan" button is greyed out and doesn't respond when I click
it.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks,
Steve ;)
 
If you are using PAL this sounds like the DirectX 9.0b problem that
Microsoft is supposed to be fixing with "high priority" but I don't call
lack of action in 8 weeks high priority. See
http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4254.html

There is a solution that copys one of the old 9.0a drivers if you want a fix
now. The link is somewhere in this group.
