Which version of Catalyst supports x1900 AIW & 650 PCI TV Tuners in XP MCE 2005 SP3?
I just did a complete reinstallation of XP MCE 2005 and haven't been able to get MCE to recognize my x1900 AIW's TV tuner using the latest Catalyst driver, 9.3. It's been a while since I spent much time here and was wondering if more recent versions of Catalyst no longer support the x1900's tuner under MCE, and if so what's the last/best version of Catalyst that does support it?
I also have a 650 PCI in my system, which MCE does recognize under 9.3.
Note that under MMC 9.16, which I don't intend to use but installed to be on the safe side and because I like the Avivo transcoder that comes with its installation package, I am able to see and use both tuners. So the x1900 tuner is working, and 9.3 at least partly supports it, just not under MCE.
Also note that I'm up to SP3 on XP MCE 2005, if that matters.
My previous installation of XP MCE 2005 was SP2, using Catalyst 7.1 (yeah, it's been a while!), and I was able to use both tuners (including both the OTA DTV and analog cable tuners of the 650) under MCE w/o a problem.
Needless to say, I never bothered with Vista, both due to its various problems, and because it didn't support the x1900's tuner. I'm going to skip it completely and put together a Win 7 system eventually, with the latest and greatest video and tuner hardware. But this will be my main system until then.
Thanks!
