Re: Media Center with Vista

It´s an ATI 9800 AIW. So the tv tuner is on the card.

What tv tuner card do you have?

You've answered the question about the video card (which should work with
Vista without issue), but without knowing what tv tuner card you have, it's
hard to answer your question.

See here for a list of some video cards that are known to work...

Yes, it is of course about the tuner part.
That is what I want to know. How do I get the tuner functioning?
Ok?

Can you play a DVD or watch the sample videos? if yes then the problem is
not with your graphics card it is with your tuner card drivers.

So you would say that the system shall be fully functional with only
the Vista install.

And then how do I start tv functions?

I would suspect that all language versions have drivers for the more
common ATI and NVidia based cards, but I can't vouch for that, as I only
install the English versions. As far as I know, the 9800 should be
supported out of the box, with Vista.

Hi Doug,

I´ll probably need to install the english Vista in order to get a
working ATI driver, right?
´cause now it´s in german and the ATI installation failed.

If your card is currently supported in Vista, you'll get new drivers
from Windows Update.

Where do I get current MCE drivers for my tuner card?

MCE is built into Vista and you should make sure that you have the
catalyst
drivers 6.4 or better. Also make sure you have current MCE drivers
for your
tuner card.

Hi, sorry for perhaps asking a silly question. But I did not yet
understand if the ATI 9800 Pro will be able to watch TV in Vista
Beta2.

And if, how is this to be achieved?
Do I need a Media Center Edition or is the "simple" Vista enough?
And which drivers do I need?
And which tv-software i available for Vista?

Regards Thomas
