FIY...

I have never been able to get my ATI AIW X800XL TV tuner to work with WinXP
Media Ctr 2005 SP2. The best I ever got was either a distorted TV picture,
no picture (black screen) or a green screen. On that PC (Foxconn 945P7AA) I
also have a Hauppauge HVR-980 installed, so I have been using that with
Media Ctr. The HVR-980 works well with my cable TV and Media Ctr, but is
Mono, only with cable. Also, on the software side I have Nero 7 Ultimate
Edition installed. In addition to Media Ctr, I have attempted to get the AIW
TV tuner to work in Nero Home, but got basically the same bad results. I
have repeatedly looked on Nero's web site and the forums for support
information, but found little or nothing regarding Nero Home and the ATI AIW
TV tuner. There are not many adjustments that can be made in Nero Home,
either, to try adjusting the picture.

Today I downloaded and installed Nero's latest update, 7.9.6. After
installation I opened Nero Home and to my surprise the AIW TV tuner now
works great with that program. Next I opened Win XP Media Ctr, and lo and
behold, the AIW TV tuner works great with that too, for the first time in my
history, anyway. I also tried this another PC WinXP Pro SP2 where I have an
AIW X1900 along with a TV Wonder 650. Nero 7.9.6 works great with both
tuners (did not previously work with the AIW). I have yet to play with the
Catalyst Media Center program on that PC.

Well I'll be damned!
