ATI TV problem ; More info?

[bothered]

For anybody with an ATI TV Wonder running on windows XP...most people find that when they start the TV program the image is washed out and scrambled. A bug in the drivers that seems to only affect XP systems. ATI has a few workarounds, I believe holding the shift key while starting the tv program lets the program start with a normal display you can watch.

However, a better fix that I found is that by setting the TV app to run in windows 98/ME compatibility mode eliminates the problem altogether. It starts fine every time and you don't have to remember to hold any keys down in order to get the image feed from the TV tuner to load without being scrambled.

Wow, I had exactly this problem, I had connected a VHS recorder to it and could get no picture. After emailing ATI several times and getting no reply I took it out. Where can I get more info?

Can anyone help the b' man out? anyone no a bit more about this?

You're having trouble getting a picture with the VHS plugged into it? Or the regular TV Tuner? If you set the TV tuner app to run in compatibility mode it eliminates the scrambled screen when you start it. You can also bypass that by holding shift as you start the app.

If you can't get a picture from the VHS recorder you plugged in, I'm going to ask if you have the correct video input selected on the tuner? There are different ones...you have to manually switch it from TV to S-Video and the rest if you want to use them.
