Hi all,

I just recently put together a new rig with the following components and have been struggling to get over the air hdtv work. I'm not sure if it's the software or hardware that I'm missing to get everything going. Any help you can provide is much appreciated as I have not found much documentation in the provided manual or ati's own site.

AMD Athlon X2 5600+ cpu
MSI K9AGM2-FIH 690G mobo
Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2-800 Kit
WD 320GB 7200rpm SATA hd
LiteOn 16X dvdrom
NEC 16X dvdrw
Thermaltake 430w psu
ATI TV Wonder 650 PCI
Terk Amplified HDTV Indoor Antenna
Cyberlink PowerCinema 5.1

I was not able to get a copy of ATI's own Catalyst Multimedia Center so resorted to using PowerCinema for viewing. I have the Terk antenna plugged into the DTV/FM port on the back of the TV Wonder 650 (as stated by the manual) and when loading PowerCinema, all it asks me is if I want to scan for analog cable channels but I do not see any option for OTA hdtv. I'm not sure if it's the antenna that I have that's not compatible as ATI lists ATSC antenna for OTA HDTV viewing.
