Radeon 8500 AIW Problems

[Mattlock]

I have just installed a Radeon 8500 AIW and when I try run both , the internet and watch TV (via TV function), one or the other freezes (ie "not responding")

the cable guy was just out today and he confirmed that my signal is good.

Any suggestions?

Works fine for me too ... it's just once in a while (1 out of 50 times), thatt it might do so ... if I flib a number of times between my TV and internet!

Do you have the 8500 or the 8500DV? You will have more problems with the DV.

I have 8500 only ... not DV. Why would DV have more problems? memory?

I have 8500 (no DV). Waiting on email reponse from ATI support.

The DV version has problems with overheating.

Same here ... They sent me an email saying that they would respond personally!! Then one day somebody sent an "automated" mail personally to me, urging me to search the web-side. I was just delighted to get such a personal response :Q
