[Hawk]

Bout damn time, I hope this is for real. I've been waiting months for this.
Thanks.

Tell me if it works...I am using the AIW Radeon right now, but might go back to 64 MB Radeon and TV Wonder if that works in Win2k. Thanks.

 

[TonyRI]

All hell is breaking loose on my computer right now, I seem to be getting closer but Im not quite there.
I'll kepp you informed.

 

[AirAlex]

just wondering if the tv screen eventually freezes for anyone?

 

[TonyRI]

Grrrrrr, I cant even get the tv proggy to work.
And when I try and install the tv wonder crossbar it freezes too.
Damn, I guess I'll have to wait a little longer.

The release notes say that some video cards will cause the TV to freeze after like 30 minutes or 45 minutes...dang, guess it isn't very good, but at least they kinda kept their 3rd release date deadline! <sigh>

 

[(Chanse)]

I had been waiting so long for these, since they kept me out if Win2k at home, i broke down and bought an AIW Radeon, and of course, 1 week later they release the drivers.! damn ATI, if i din't love em so much i'd hate em!

i have a geforce 2 gts. ATI sux for drivers. First i had to install them manually, select the unknown devices and reinstall drivers, figure they would do that for me but not a big deal. Got the stuff installed went to detect tv channels. THe whole computer locked up once it hit 125. Ok, little bug, reboot. Get audio with tv wow it works great. Go to turn on tv and picture freezes. Sh!t. Reboot, maybe just a little bug. Picture freezes again. Uninstall freezes up two more times, won't shut down. ATI TV-Wonder magically jumps out of pci slot while comp was on and smashes into wall. Moved 27 inch tv out of roommates room who was borrowing it, now watching skinemax flix without lockups.

Heh, I guess I shouldn't even bother putting it in then.

I experianced all the problems with a full install but this time I just reinstalled the tv portion only and it seems to run more stable. Has anybody else experiancec this also.

It locks up after 20 minutes. I'm using detonator drivers - so basically anyone w/ a decent 3d card from Nvidia will be screwed. Everyone stuck w/ a Rage Pro can now gloat.

Anyone gotten a 3rd party tv tuner to work yet?

i've gotten the hauppauge wintvgo to work. Didnt have to do anything special, just installed it. Worked. I've only tried it with a v5 and v4 though.

 

[Marauder-]

The Hauppauge's already are known to work fine w/ Win2k. It's the ATI crap driver support that everyone's buggin over.

 

[hans007]

i only replied since you asked if anyone had gotten a 3rd party tuner to work

 

[Marauder-]

Ahh - I meant 3rd party software.
