I am actually pretty happy with my satellite remote as is thank you very much Microsoft! Is there a way to get around that or I am just out of luck? Will the AIW 9800 Pro even behave itself in MCE anyway? Or do I also need to look at a Hauppage PVR150 or perhaps a Theatre Pro 550 to gin hardware MPG2 encoding so that it actually records properly?Д«TW, I have the legitimate Win XP SP2 disk in my hand, so if MCE is a no go I will simply go back to that.but will I ever be able to REALLY use the PVR features that the AIW box promised? Until I installed the ATI Multimedia Centre, MCE would get as far as finding my SVideo input and shoing it in a little preview box.then it would stick it to me when I couldn't provide a remote sender unit to tune my satellite receiver. My hope was that the software woes would disappear magically with MCE and I could leave ATI's software behind me forever. I have had all types of woes thus far with AIW 9800 Pro and the accompanying software. I have 'borrowed' a copy of MCE 2005 to see if I CAN make it work before I take the plunge and buy a legit copy. You sound like you could help me muddle through this too. Note: As an aside to let you know how picky some cards can be, I've learned that the bundled software with some video and tuner cards that purport to be MCE compatible, are not. You have a powerful enough computer to handle everything - you just need to decide for yourself if you want your machine to work flawlessly. I suspect you'll have to purchase a separate tuner card, to get everything working properly. Heck, I studied for nearly 6 months until I had all the hardware and software to where it was working properly and I could then feel comfortable selling them to the public. Getting MCE to work properly can be a very daunting process. I cannot tell you that you shouldn't use your existing card, but I can offer from experience that even if you're ever able to get it running, which I doubt, you'll likely have problems.

Though I sell the 9600 in my store I never bundled it with Media Center machines, and while I like ATI cards, their drivers are another story, and always have had that well deserved reputation. Installing Windows Updates did not change the situation.

I guess I am upset because ATI has a supposed patch/plugin that states it will make the card work with the MCE interface.

So I decided to install the ATI Multimedia Center and when I did that it tells me that the tuner is in use by another application. That told me that there was no tuner found using RCA or Coax. I DID NOT Install the ATI Multimedia Center. THen i installed the Media Center Encoder file. After Windows MCE install I installed my device drivers including the catalyst 6.4 drivers for ATI. Maybe I read it wrong, but it sounded pretty clear to me. The Encoder also allows you to run Windows XP Media Center Edition with an All-in-Wonder card without ATI Multimedia Centerв„ў.'

It is required for fully functionality of myTV within Windows XP Media Center Edition. 'This Encoder contains PVR and capture functionality for ATI TV Tuners and All-in-WonderВ® Cards. It is titled 'Windows XP Media Center Edition Encoder' and is supposed to and I quote.

I got the following software for free from MicrosoftДЄccording to ATI's support website there is a 1.7MB File that you can download to make All In Wonder cards (Model 9600 and higher) work with Windows Media Center Edition. Is there anyway to bypass this cuz the Remote Wonder that came with the All In wonder works fine which is a RF remote. If I do not install the ATI Multimedia Center it says not tuner found and if I do I cannot set up the RCA inputs because it wants to configure an IR remote. I have downloaded the latest drivers from ATI that say they are Media Center compatible and this utility here I just received some Nice Software from Microsoft by going to a Microsoft in Education Seminar and I am having trouble getting my Free copy of Media Center Edition to properly work with my ATI All In Wonder 9600.
