Hi Jim;
Thanks for responding.
The TV card is an ATI A-I-W 9600 Pro.
Only have one monitor for both the computer & TV.
Always keep all drivers updated to latest for...
* ATI Video.
* ATI Media Center software.
* Win XP Pro updates.
Some of the problems I also had with my old ATI A-I-W 7000 Video/TV card especially item 3... In TV full screen mode with the top & bottom bars hidden, the bars will flicker on then back off from time to time. This happens several times during a TV session for no apparent reason. This one is an oldie & has been on-going ever since I can remember using MC 9 & 10.
Items 1 & 2 are somewhat newer (about 4 or 5 months old). Not really sure, but items 1 & 2 may have started around the time I updated from the ATI A-I-W 7000 to the ATI A-I-W 9600 Pro.
Don't know if you recall or not but I (and several other users) had a lot of jerkiness problems with the TV using the 9600 Pro video card (but only with latest video driver) which was finally somewhat resolved by turning off the
Crop Edges in MC TV Configuration (the
Crop Edges is still not working either).
Is it possible that you can get your hands on an ATI A-I-W 9600 video card ? This is now ATI's best selling card. It is very different from their older cards (has FM radio tuner on the TV card). The TV module is smaller & works somewhat differently from earlier ATI TV tuner cards (the FM is integrated into the TV & requires the TV to work).
MC needs to have all functions working correctly with this new card. I am thinking that some of these weird problems may be due to the new card. I also believe that all new ATI A-I-W cards will have the new TV \ FM tuner module on them as that was the most requested new feature people wanted on new A-I-W cards.
A usual none of these problems show up when using the ATI software.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
