ATI Radeon feature connector

I bought an ATI Radeon from outpost and found out that my card does not have the pins for a Video Feature Connector. It's a a 26 pin connector that I'd like to use with my DVD decoder so I can use the TV-out and watch DVD's on TV. I know there's a built-in DVD decoder on the Radeon, but it doesn't have a TV-out feature. Does anyone have these pins for the connector on their card, or is it not supposed to have one?
 
Radeon doesn't have it. Rage Fury line of cards had it. ATI removed the TV tuner support on the Radeon line (with the exception of the AIW)
 
I believe the 64 VIVO still has those connectors on it but the 32 meg versions do not.
Why not just leaving your DVD decoder in and not hooking it up to anything except the tv?
 
wait, so do I even need the video connector to connect my radeon to the decoder in order to use my Dxr2 to watch DVD's on my TV? or do I just plug it into the PCI slot?
 
You don't need to connect the decoder to the vid card if you're only doing tv out. I still got a Real Magic Ventura in my closet that works fine for that purpose. Too bad that feature connector was taken as soon as I got an ATi card. ATi's were one of the few cards that the Ventura worked well with.
