Re: can't view HD (ATSC) Channels in XP Media Center

I realized that it is the latest drivers for you tuner that you need to install and not the latest drivers for your graphics card.
Regretfully I do not have any other ideas if the ATI TV application does not work independently of the MC TV application.

I do have the Titan TV installer in my ATI folder but I'm afraid to install
it! I have NOT had good luck using ATI CCC before (it has never worked and
always screwed up my viewing in MC) so I haven't tried that either. I think
every time I had to install the CCC it would install or reinstall drivers I
either had or didn't need (i.e. WMD drivers and such) I never used to need it
though, when both my HD and cable channels worked. I could always view them
in MC.
Yes, my local channels are listed starting with 1000, they just show a
black screen when I try to tune to them and then I get the Application error.
Also, yes I am using the 8.7 Catalyst drivers.

Do you also have the ATI TV package installed and can you watch both OTA
analog and OTA digital channels using their app when you have an antenna
connected to both coax inputs?
Do your local OTA digital channels show up starting with channel number 1000
in MC?
What release of the ATI CCC drivers are you currently using? I believe 8.7
is the latest release.
