Media Center 11.0.220 and HDTV Wonder
« on: March 22, 2005, 08:42:32 pm »
I just downloaded and installed 11.0.220 without a hitch and am impressed so far with the feature set.  I am mainly interested in using MC for my HDTV Wonder card, since ATI is incapable of getting their software right. 

The problem:  I'm in Washington, DC.  The 720p channels come in just fine, but none of the 1080i channels work.  For the 1080i channels, sometimes I get nothing, sometimes sound only (usually choppy, but not always), and sometimes sound with white or gray boxes (no decernable picture).

I'm looking forward to purchasing MC once this gets resolved.  Any help will be much appreciated.

1080i works fine with MC and my ATI HDTV wonder here in Minneapolis.

Is it possible you don't have a strong enough signal?  Also, what type of computer and video card are you hooking into?

ATI released updated drivers for the card the other day you may want to try.

Thanks.

Signal stregth is max or close to it for all 1080i channels.

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000
RAM: 512MB
Video: nVidia FX5200
Windows XP SP2

When I run ATI's program, all the 1080i channels work (with some frame loss).

Last time I tried updating ATI's drivers, I had to do a complete reinstall of Windows XP!  So I'm not anxious to do it again.

We have a board especially for TV and TV cards here:

If you'll post there, Yaobing, JRiver's developer for TV software, will answer.
