Hi, I just bought an ATI 9600 All in Wonder. I am having a really
annoying problem. When viewing TV using my antenna, I am getting a
horizontal line on all of the channels. On different channels, the
line is in different spots. And what happens is it cuts the picture
in half. So above the line, it has the bottom of the picture and
below the line it has the top of the picture. It seems like on really
old TVs, there was a knob on it that adjusted this. You would turn
this knob and it would make the line go up or down so you just moved
it off the screen. The problem is on newer computers, there is no
adjustment like that. I tried getting the newest drivers and
multimedia center off ati's website. That didn't help. I decided to
wipe my machine clean and format the hard drive and rebuild the whole
hard drive. Still doing the same exact thing. I have tried changing
the resolution of my monitor and the refresh rate. That didn't help.
I updated my drivers for my AGP slot and made sure it was set to 8x
agp and that didn't make a difference either.

Any ideas?
 
If the line is the vertical blanking and sync pulse, which is what you
describe, this is truly bizarre and my guess would be that you have a
defective card. Take it back and exchange it.
 
I wonder if the end connectors of the cable were done right. Might be
the cheapest fix instead of RMAing it.
