will ATI Support their All-In-Wonder TV Tuners?
I'm running an ATI All-In-Wonder 2006 PCI Express card with the built-in TV
Tuner and FM Radio - less than 6 mos. old. I finally got the display drivers working - I originally only had 1024x768 res on a widescreen Acer AL1916W, but it suddenly offered the 1440x900 res option today, no idea how or why the change. Vista's Media Center says "No Tuner Installed" if I try and watch TV. ATI's site make no mention of whether they intend to offer an updated driver or Multimedia Center download for these items to work in Vista. Any insiders have any idea, or is it time to stop buying ATI cards? ..some vendors just love to stop supporting even their newer hardware in an effort to force you to buy a new one... sigh |

I also have several of those cards, and I posted a tech support message on
the ati site. They told me that no TV tuner drivers will be supported on the product. I wrote back that i will not accept this answer. We have been going back and forth on this. I encourage you to do the same thing, goto ati's web site, and open a support ticket. I also posted this on www.2cpu.com under their vista forum, and also on the www.rage3d.com AIW forum!! Lets all blast ATI till we get what we want!!! "johnm" wrote: I'm running an ATI All-In-Wonder 2006 PCI Express card with the built-in TV Tuner and FM Radio - less than 6 mos. old.

I dont know specifically about your card but i use an x1300 video and a tv
wonder elite pci. Works just fine. I did however have to install a dvd playing software to get media center to recognize everything properly. I don.t remeber exactly what I installed but it was the codecs that were necessary and not the program itself. i would resist installing any ATI drivers as they just are a bit flaky and were not required with my 2 ATI products. Another note is that no matter what I try the ATI remote control will not work. "johnm" wrote in message ...
