This ATI All-in-Wonder card doesn't work. Vista recognizes the basic card
and installs the X800XT driver but ATI 's Vista beta ( Catalyst 9.13, I
think?) doesn't recognize the onboard TV tuner.

This ATI card is lited as having sufficient capabilities for Vista. The card
has 256 MB DDR3 and provides a fast rating in the Vista performance listing.

Anybody testing Vista 5600 32 bit with any ATI All-In-Wonder?

The Vista Media Center doesn't find the TV tuner either.

It never will unless Microsoft changes its mind. MS has made Media Center
require a hardware MPEG encoder which the AIW series doesn't have.
The only hope is for ATI to write a version of their Multimedia Center
that runs under Vista.

i'm having same prob with ati vista beta drivers. ati driver won't recognize
the X1300 mobility radeon on my brand new dell laptop E1505. I think there is
a major problem with the ATI drivers. Wish i could be of more help beyond
that.

I have a similar problem with ATI All IN Wonder 2006 AGP Edition. Works fine
with Windows XP. I have had 4 builds on the same computer clean install,
beta 2, Pre RC1, RC1 Build 5600 and currently RC 1 build 5728. Windows Vista
doesn't even know the tv tuner is there. Nothing shows up in device manager.
Tried to manually install and Vista sees nothing. I have a feeling the ball
is in ATI's corner not Microsoft.

Why are they requiring a hardware MPEG encoder?

You'd have to ask them but I suspect it's because Vista takes up
so much of a processor's time that they don't want things to get
bogged down with TV as well.
