Audio works fine, but just no video came out. when I installed it, XP says that it is not proved by MS.
Any one has his\her TV wonder VE works fine in XP?
Thanks

i have mine working
do u have mmcenter 7.6?
also it doesnt seems to work with 32 bit depth of desktop color, change it to 16 bit and it works

try some other tv tuner supported software as well

like cyberlink powervcr or media jukebox 8
all these work just fine

I had a thread that asked similar questions with the resolution that you're looking for. Do a search for it.

Do you get scrambled looking video. Install dscaler and use it instead of the ati tv. It's on my sisters computer. When you set up the tuner look in the system properties to find out what tuner you have. Otherwise look at the tuner itself the one I have uses a phillips tuner. Then you can auto scan the channels. It works better than the ati one. There are some channels I can't even watch with ati tv that's watchable with dscaler. You can get it here
Just one problem I haven't solved yet. When you close it the sound from the station you were watching is still on. I have to start the ati tv then close it.
I've also used something called atifix.exe but can't seem to find it. Install it in the folder that the ati tv executable is and create a shortcut to desktop. Clicked it to run tv and it works fine.

have the same thing. you don't need mmc 7.6 at all. just hold control or shift down while you click on thew shortcut or open the program. Works for me on both 7.1 and 7.6. But yeah, Ati's software is real shoddy for this particular card. I regret getting the cheapest one...

I tried getting mine to work. then i removed it.

With the beta 7.6, the picture was fine but no sound.

With the official 7.1, the sound was fine but the picture would always start up scrambled and to unscramble it I'd have to switch desktop color depth back and forth each time I started it.

I sent ATI an email saying it was a piece of crap and they said "thanks for the feedback"
