Ok, I think I'm consistently able to recreate the black screen crashes. When my system starts from a Full Powered Down state, I seem to never have the Black Screen computer crashes. However, If I let my computer go into standby, that is enter sleep mode, At some point after resuming from...

Did anyone notice the Opt-IN that you agree to if you use the default "Express Settings" when you install the new cats? HEH, well it's there. You just gave away your first born and privacy again, this time AMD is sneaking it in there. Way to earn our trust AMD/ATI. You think you could have it...

Ok, for all of you following my rant over the past several months seeing the CMC Works again, Broken again Threads.... It seems as if ATI/AMD have finally released a driver for the Theater 650 in which the Tuner is detected correctly by legacy applications such as CMC and Studio Pinnacle. Way...

Great News. So far, Power Cinema 6 is allowing me to use a set top box with my ATI 650 Theater Capture Card. And there is no notable delay from the time I press a key until I see a change on my TV set. And, unlike my problems with Catalyst Media Center, it actually works under Windows Vista...

Well my CMC still fails with the ClCapSvc Module has stopped working bug in Windows Vista Ultimate SP3 64bit. However, the good news is that it is working in Windows 7 RC 64 bit. Why do I insist on using CMC, you ask? Because I need the lowest video lag possible to be able to easily operate...

All right lady's and gentlemen. Another Microsoft fix has fracked the almighty catalyst media center yet again! If you have a friend who can get you the official SP2 release off the Microsoft MSDN website, you may want to stave off that installation. The CLcapsvc has failed to launch bug is...

OK, After reading some more threads on changing the Theater Video and Audio NSP drivers to the SP drivers, I finally gave it a try. It was a simple driver change between the NSP (No Sound Passthrough) back to the SP (Sound Passthrough) drivers which we lost last year. Once the WDM's are using...

So what gives? The Red pixel flicker is STILL with ATI, after all these years! Why bother to put DVI on a card, if you have to use the VGA adapter??? My first experience with this was on an All In Wonder Radeon, And it is Still here in the X850XT PE !!! What is ATI's Problem using DVI...

http://www.omegadrivers.net/ As Bill the Cable guy would say: "Get er Done!" Thanks 'Omegadrive'! (thats his name in WoW) I know it's Larry the Cable Guy(as Noted Below) Don't ask me why I said Bill. Maybe I write Catalyst drivers !?! That could be the reason that I slipped up! Yeah! That's...

The Title says it all! :lol:

Way to go ATI. Not only is the AGC circuit in the Theater 200 very very touchy to begin with, Now you have it set to not allow the playback of ANY Video Input Source with Macrovision Encoding. Previously you had blocked recording of those sources... Which is understandable. But NOW you...

I have Purchased for testing each of the following cards to test for the Horizontal Banding on the Video and Svideo inputs. This Banding occurs on All Types of sources, such as originally recorded HI-8 movies, Laser Disc's (that have no Copy Protection schemes, VCR Prerecorded tapes with...

Here is an excerpt from a review at: http://www.bytesector.com/data/bs-article.asp?ID=263 Concluding Remarks The RWII is a slight improvement over the original RWI by bringing key (needed) functions to the table. The option of having different modes (through the AUX 1-4 buttons) is really...

I am wondering why ATI put the ATI TV Wonder PCI (stereo Version) into the Legacy discontinued models, while keeping the ATI TV Wonder VE (Not stereo) version as the only currently available PCi model? I wanted the TV card to be my Picture in picture upgrade to be used with MMC 8.1 I did find...

I really like this application. It makes DVD Burning effortless! The program uses ATI's Tuners as well as Video inputs. If you have $49.95, I think it's a good deal for people who want to record TV or Cam corders straight to DVD media. Also does Video CD's and recording to Hard drives for later...
