i think you mean 5.4 but yeah.. i did too and i didn't see any differences really. But Here's a list of things i find strange when using my x800 xt all in wonder with my hdtv wonder. First of all i have the latest drivers (5.4 cats) for gfx card, lastest dtv decoder from ati from 4-8-05, and the latest mmc installed (9.0.61) and all works except 1 thing. When i watch tv with Media center i get HDTV no problem but my analog just displays a black screen. The way to get rid of this is to hit record on any random channel then change the channel to another analog station where then the other tuner kicks in and I then see the picture just fine.. I'm trying to find out which tuner is actually working cause i can't figure out whats wrong till i know which one is just giving me the black screen. I assume it's the aiw but not positive..When i then go to hdtv channel i can watch and hit record just fine.. but when i go back to analog again it goes to black screen then says Loss of Signal (media center has stopped caturing data due to low data rate in the tv signal. This may be a temporary situation.. if this persists make sure the cable for the tv signal is connected properly, restart the computer, and then try tuning to a channel.).. I have to then close down media center and Run net stop ehrecvr to close it completely, then reopen media center and i get it to work again. but only by recording on one channel then go to another channel etc.. all over again.. I used 5.3 cats and 9.6 originally and it was the same way.. for some reason it will detect all my tuners fine but there is 1 analog not complying completely.. thanks for any help..
edit: I've now found that is the DTV analog source that give me black screen and low or no signal. I thought for sure it was the aiw.. Maybe i need to install the Kram drivers.. thats strange.. Kinda sucks cause i want to use the duel tuner action or record one program and watch another.. if someone knows how to get the hdtv analog part working i'd love you forever.>!! Everything else works great.. and when i use the analog hdtv tuner in mmc it works just fine.. so kinda strange in my opinion.. I can use it but just want to get mce to do it the way it should.. thanks for any help..
edit: Ok.. i've figured it out on my own.. I at least still needed the kram driver install.now i can record and watch another program.. YEAH!!! finally after almost 5 hours of trouble shooting.. now if i could only get my fm tuner to work properly on my x800 aiw.. Nothin but static even with a 70 mile antenna.. my wifes 9600 xt gets PERFECT reception with a little wire antenna and she's right next to me.. I even put my rooftop antenna on hers and she gets even better reception! I think this fm tuner blows cause i even took back this card and got a new one thinking it was out as i've tried everything possible.. either that or the dongle is junk which ya never know i guess.. good luck to thers getting there aiw and hdtv/ tuner cards workin together.. as far as my situation with aiw/hdtv wonders it's all the latest cats,decoders,drivers etc.. and the kram install for the hdtv wonder and it should work perfect..
- it did not hang - but everything it recorded was choppy and grainy and it was eating 80% of the CPU.
... anyway, when i came back, MCE claimed to have 'lost TV signal' or something to that effect . it was unresponsive to any input, but i was able to gain control of my computer again by alt+ctrl+del it. MCE's tv failed to respond until i restarted my computer and reconfigued the tuner in its settings.
