Screen black on A-I-W TV capture, no display of TV video whatsoever,
although TV audio changes when changing channels, so TV tuner is capturing
all stations. Removing Cable TC cable from rear of card causes audio to
quit, so I know it is tuning stations, at least audio.

When I force card to AutoScan it scans each channel and says "Ch1,2,3....125
not available" afterwards a windows says AutoScan did not find any
channels, yet it tunes the audio for each channel.

It was working fine with Windows XP. I was rebuilding my system. I have
A-I-W Rage 128, drivers #3279, and using Multi Media 7.2. When I added a
secondary monitor on an ATI Rage128 PCI. At the same time I upgraded to
DirectX9.0b.

I removed the AGP (A-I-W TV card) then rebooted, letting XP see only a PCI
card, then uninstalled MM7.2, verified nothing left in device manager. I
then rebooted without the AGP card to verify that PCI was discovered. Next
I shut down power, reinstalled the AGP and let XP find the card again. I
found that device manager had AGP properly setup again. I loaded MM7.2 and
clicked TV. It gave me the setup wizard again where I activated AutoScan.

Same #&*@*! thing. It stepped through all channelsand found NO
channels ...."CH x ...not availabel" message again, yet it does find or tune
all channels from an audio perspective..............audio channels change
when changing stations. ....but screen is still BLACK.

VGA and dual monitors functions fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

I dont see any mention of the wdm drivers installed and the order in
which you installed them in your post.

What are wdm drivers? I only installed MM7.2. Windows XP loaded ATI
6.13.3279.0 however I reloaded it again.
 
Ok folks, more information. TV picture displays in Media window when AIW
AGP is the only video card in the PC. TV window is black (w / audio
playing) when there is a second video card in PCI slot 2 or 4 (only slots
tested). So there is some kind of conflict. I have an ASUS A7V mobo with
Athlon 1400 and have played with the BIOS IRQ's till I am blue in the
face......XP overrides whatever is set in BIOS. WinXP sets all the PCI
slots to IRQ 9. Remember, it worked fine with WinME. The bottom line
is....I cant watch TV and use a secondary (miulti-monitor).
