Vista - ATI TV Wonder 600 PCI-e (x1) PROBLEMS!!

squishlax · 03-19-2008

I can't get analog or digital to werk properly at all... I get no picture or sound at all on Analog, but all the channels show up after scanning .. I get choppy video and sound on digital and all channels show up after scanning..
I have all the latest drivers and software, done uninstalls, reboots, and reinstalls ... nothin...

any help? see my sig for my specs...

thanks in advance for any help!!

I just bought this card and I am experiencing the same problems you explained in your post.

Did you ever get them resolved?

after much searching i found out it has to do with the fact that the ati card uses software encoding and windows doesnt like that.. so instead of attempting all the hacks that people said to do i sold it, got a haupage tv wonder card and it worked right from the start in media center.. havent had any problems so far ..

Kewl - which one? I got the WinTV PVR 1800 and am loving every second of it...

BTW, your signature shows you still having the ATI and not the Hauppage :P

lol OK.

Glad someone else is liking the 1800 - I got mine on NewEgg with the bundled Remote, and *that* really rocks - I can even b playing stuff in WiMP (as I do every night, watching a bit of Anime before going to bed) and it is great to have (limited) control of WiMP through the remote....
