 |
|
Maybe I'm dense, but since upgrading from MMC 9.08 to 9.13, Video On
Demand runs full-time, and I can't figure out how to turn it off. Can
someone clue me in? |

You can NOT turn off or disable the TV Video On Demand in MMC 9.13, the
program always stays active. The ATI TV Video On Demand is compared to
"Snapstream" both can not be turned off to simply watch live TV. Your in
trouble if you have a small hard drive. It saves small files that add up
wasting your hard drive space.
Also, what I notice too is the GUIDE PLUS+ program guide does not detect the
ATI TV tuner.
I too went back to the old MMC 9.06.1, the MMC 9.08 does not work for me,
where I have complete control if I want to use Video On Demand at any time.
Thus, I never use Video On Demand anyway.

They took away the option to save (discard) Video-On-Demand files? I
use video-on-demand to pause and skip fwd/rev during live TV but never
save the files when exiting DTV for the reasons you mention. I haven't
loaded up 9.13 yet and if I have to manually toss out the VOD files, I
might not bother with it. Or do I misunderstand video-on-demand?

There are "cache files" saved to the hard drive and do add up. I have over
680mb saved cache files on my hard drive.
These files are created and saved hard drive when watching simple live TV.
As I said before, You should have complete control to turn off (disable)
Video On Demand. |

Odd... GUIDE PLUS+ works fine for me under 9.13. But that always-on
VOD is a deal breaker for me. I have plenty of space on my hard drives
-- I just don't want them thrashing all the time.
I must say I detest most of the changes in Setup, too. Like, what
happened to VideoSoap? |

In the TV Initialization wizard you can uncheck "Preserve TV-On-Demand
programs between sessions". When TV is closed the files are deleted. This
wizard is also available on the Setup Display tab.
You can also set your S-Video/Composite connection to not time-shift. There
doesn't seem to be a way to disable time-shift on the tuner unfortunately.

I also just upgraded because I was having video probs and now since I can't turn off time shift my tuner card is totally unusable. It constantly stutters. The whole reason I purchased the AIW card was to watch TV on my PC and now I can't. I can only hope they come out with a fix soon. |

I totally stop buying ATI products, since the recent change in there
software. It BLOATS your hard drive.
ATI should call their new MMC 9.13.
ATI MMC-DVR 9.13

Try a little experiment. When it stutters, pause it for a second and
then go back to play. I've noticed this with 9.08. AFAIK, TV on Demand
can't be turned off but I wouldn't want to anyway because I LIKE
skipping the commercials.

Terrible answer from ATI:
ATI - Customer Care [customercare@ati.com]
We have responded to your issue.
Solution:
The TV on Demand is always turned on with MMC 9.13 and it cannot be
turned off. If you do not want the TV on Demand turned on all the time,
I would suggest you to remove the components relating to MMC 9.13 and
install the MMC 9.08.

That is pretty dumb. I wonder why they would think that anyone would
want that turned on all the time... |
