I have a Radeon LE on a Win 98SE system. I also have an ATI TV wonder card.
What drivers and order should I install the latest drivers, and also which versions of the various drivers should I install?

You can't use MMC7.5 with the TV-Wonder.. or at least, it's not recommended.

DirectX8->Video card drivers (try the 7189's on ATi site or the 9008's on rage3d.com)->TV Wonder WDM files that are included with MMC7.1->MMC7.1
After that, check out Dscaler for the TV Wonder.. the quality is a LOT better than MMC7.1 I wouldn't use my TV Wonder without it now.
And get Radeon Tweaker for unlocking/overclocking your Radeon LE (worked great for me)

Hope this helps.

I'll have to agree with Menacer on using Dscaler for the TV wonder. It has worked flawlessly with my windows xp athlon xp 1600 nvidia ti 200 machine. The tv tuner in MMC 7.1 was completely worthless on my machine. It caused major problems and lockups that could only be cured with a restart (very bad).

Thanks guys...
That DScalar program looks great!
The video is really sharp.
One problem, I don't have my sound working. Any idea what the problem may be?
It works in the TV wonder MMC ATI program.
How do you know which tuner to select?

Sadly, I had to use a workaround to get my sound working on my TV-Wonder (I'm sorry I forgot about this)

I used the RCA->Stereo converter that came with the TV-Wonder to plug my audio inputs into Line-In on my soundcard and just unmute it whenever I use Dscaler. Others have said they can get theirs working, but for the life of me, this is the only way I can get sound.

Thanks a lot Menacer...
The DScaler program is awesome!
The video is unbelievablly sharp (pretty close to my s-video on the sat. dish)
I'm surprised more people aren't using this...

The sound fix is a minor inconvenience...
I will update you if I find an easier fix. I used to have a ISA Tv tuner which was connected internally by some ribbon cable. This also had sound problems... after some posts on this board, I was able to get it going...

Thanks!
