It means the software works, your system has a problem. A lot of people
think you stick a card in a PC and it should work just like magic. They
don't realize motherboards have chipsets and a BIOS and all of them aren't
made by the same company. Sometimes they have problems. Other hardware and
software in your computer can cause problems. ATI isn't responsible for
everything in your computer.
You seem competent but
exactly. 13 steps - and what's truly amazing is that you find this
somehow acceptable.
FWIW, been there, done that, including multiple reformats and
reinstalls of the OS over the last year.
..and it still doesn't work? - oops, I guess I must be stupid then...
or like I said earlier, I guess I just don't know the "secret
handshake"
13 steps huh?
I bought a GEForce two days ago. Took exactly TWO steps:
1) replace POS ATI card with new NVidia card
2) turn on PC
Doesn't matter whether or not it's acceptable. Just the way it is. Have had
the cards for almost 4 years. Wouldn't buy any analog only card now. I
started with 9.01. Up until 9.06 using the CatUninstallier worked. Don't
recall you saying you had a problem with the video and you still don't have
a working tuner card or features that make them worthwhile and complicated.
You've gained nothing. The fact that you don't see the difference doesn't
speak well for you
I bought the AIW and HDTV Wonder at same time. Have had almost no problems
with the AIW and would only have done installations when new versions came
out if not for the HDTV Wonder. The 13 steps is only necessary when a
regular uninstall/reinstall doesn't work. Shouldn't really be necessary to
do it very often.
Really haven't had major problems with the HDTV Wonder since the 3rd version
of DTV. Have gotten the experience from getting them to work together. It's
worth some work to have a DVR and HDTV-DVR for this kind of money. I'm not
aware of any tuner cards that no one has a problems with and didn't see any
with better PQ or features when I was looking.
Only thing you've proven is you haven't been able to make it work on your
system. . It may get expensive buying new hardware every time you have a
problem.
