The reason you could tune to the stations is that the tuning is done with
raw uuencoded video and not with MPEG2 encoded video. Since the ATI card
and drivers do not supply MPEG2 encoded video I don't think the plug-in will
work.

Hi guys,

When I upgraded to Vista from XP I was very disappointed that it wouldn't
recognize the TV tuner on my ATI X800 All-in-Wonder graphics card. Even
more ****ed when I saw that ATI had no intention of issuing any Vista
drivers to support the TV capability on the card. However I accepted it
and have learnt to live without the TV tuner.

Had a pleasant surprise this week when I installed the Nero 8 Home
Essentials software suite that came with my new DVD writer. The TV
software on here recognised the both the analogue and digital TV tuners on
the ATI card and managed to tune in to all available stations. However
when I tried to view a ny station I get a message saying that I need to
purchase the Nero DVD-Video plug-in to view mpeg format!

Just need advice that if I spend the 18 GBP for this plug-in then I will
be able to view from the TV tuner without any other driver needed??

TIA
