    AIW X800XT + HDTV Wonder + MCE 2005 sans MMC...Possible?

    I am reformatting and saw on the ATI driver page something about a encoder or decoder for use with MCE for those who don't want MMC. Can anyone enlighten me on how to install my AIW and HDTV wonder in MCE 2005 without the MMC, assuming it is really possible? Thanks!
