Apologies if this is the wrong forum on which to ask this question as it's been several years since I last posted here. I recently added a Ceton InfinityTV TV Tuner card to my HTPC that uses an old ATI AIW x1900 card as its video card (I haven't used its tuner capabilities in a while since...

Which version of Catalyst supports x1900 AIW & 650 PCI TV Tuners in XP MCE 2005 SP3? I just did a complete reinstallation of XP MCE 2005 and haven't been able to get MCE to recognize my x1900 AIW's TV tuner using the latest Catalyst driver, 9.3. It's been a while since I spent much time here...

Hi everyone. It's been quite a while since I posted here. Close to a year I think. Some of you might remember me from when I had extended discussions with Agustus and others about upgrading to MCE 2005 and making full use of my 1900X AIW & 650 cards. Suffice it to say that I've been so happy...

I like to edit out commercials from TV shows that I record using MCE and then convert and compress them to a format that allows me to save a number of them to DVD. Right now I use the ATI AVIVO encoder functionality in the MMC Library app to first convert the DVR-MS files to MPEG1 format, and...

For those who care and are members, Costco just put Vista on its web site with slightly lower prices than at regular retailers (e.g. $147 for Premium, $240 for Ultimate): http://www.costco.com/Service/FeaturePage.aspx?ProductNo=11199786 Newegg also has it, for a few dollars more (sorry...

Given that I have both an AIW x1900 and 650, each of which has an onboard FM tuner, can MCE be made to use and/or prefer one FM tuner over another, or perhaps use both? And if not, are there other FM tuner apps that can do this, and/or are better at tuning FM stations? Also, for best...

I installed XP MCE05 for the first time yesterday using the latest ATI drivers for the AIW x1900 and 650, including Catalyst 7.1. I also installed the full set of MMC components, as some have indicated here that they may be needed for both cards to work under MCE. I can get both an analog and...

Um, I just finished installing XP MCE 05 and set up Media Center, and, er, it looks REMARKABLY like the interface for Catalyst Media Center that comes with the ATI 650. Sure, the colors are different (i.e. blue, green and red instead of various shades of gray), and not everything is the...

Update - 1/11/07: Free S&H is still available: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16832116171 Fwiw, for anyone who's been thinking of purchasing the OEM version of XP MCE05 from Newegg that comes with a free update coupon for the OEM version of Vista Premium, for $109.99...

After taking in the excellent advice of several posters here on how to get the full functionality out of my x1900/650-based PC, I was all set to order the OEM version of XP MCE05 w/free upgrade coupon for Vista Ultimate from Newegg for $110. But I decided to first check to see if it might be...

I recently started a thread here about all sorts of problems I was having with my new Theater Pro 650 card after installing it in my PC: Theater Pro 650 software is horribly BUGGY! Upon the advice of some of the experts here I uninstalled MMC after being told that it was probably...

I got the Theater Pro 650 a couple of days ago and installed it and its software--along with all the updates from the AMD/ATI web site--yesterday. And it's been a frustrating hair-pulling exercize in frustration ever since. Not only doesn't the software that came with it--Catalyst Media...

When I try to record TV using MMC 9.15/Catalyst 6.11 (with a rolled-back version 1064 of the WMD) on my AIW x1900, using my preferred recording format of VCD (for space-saving reasons), I get progressively worse audio/video sync problems after about the first 10-15 minutes. At first this shows...

After having gotten tired of dealing with the various issues with the latest Catalyst & MMC versions on my AIW x1900, which until Catalyst 6.10 just came out was Catalyst 6.9/MMC 9.15, I've decided to try to roll back to a previous Catalyst/MMC combo. I should also add that due to various...

After trying out a variety of combinations, I finally settled on Catalyst 6.9 & MMC 9.15, but with the encoder from Catalyst 6.5 to avoid the messed-up aspect ratio issue for recording, for my AIW x1900 in my XP Pro SP2 system. As many here know all too well, this combination is FAR from...
