Has anyone gotten an ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0 to work with Vista? There are
apparently no Vista drivers from ATI for this, but I was able to install the
XP drivers. Everything looks okay in Device Manager, but when I launch Media
Center and try to configure the TV settings Vista crashes and reboots.

It worked for me in RC2 but simply can't find a compatible TV tuner in RTM
(no crashes).
I guess we'll have to wait for ATI to come up with the drivers.

It looks as though I've fixed the crashing problem.

I noticed that Vista kept telling me that I had a device that was capable of
using USB 2.0, but wasn't connected to a high-speed port. Weird, because I
know my motherboard uses USB 2.0. I looked in the BIOS, and found that the
high-speed feature was turned off on my USB ports. I changed it so that the
ports would run at full-speed, then rebooted and plugged the tuner back in.
Vista re-detected everything, and it all looks okay in Device Manager.

When I launch Media Center and click the option to configure the TV, the
system no longer reboots. However, MC doesn't recognize that I have a tuner
attached. So I've made a little progress, but MC is still of no use to me
because it doesn't recognize the tuner. I don't know if that's a limitation
of MC (I've heard it only supports a handful of tuners), or because the
drivers I used are for XP rather than Vista.
