ATI HDTV Wonder: Follow Up
Well, after an hour and a half of installing, uninstalling, reinstalling of 4 programs and DirectX 9, I still have not even seen TV yet, much less HDTV. I must say, this is very very disappointing.
I’m getting errors:
- DirectX components are not installed properly (I installed them and the install disk installed them, so this error: CRAP)
- Capture driver INF files are not installed (setup disk went through everything and Device Manager shows all drivers in place: CRAP)
- DMA for all drives (HDD and DVD) is not enabled (but all drives are in Ultra DMA mode: CRAP)
Update: while writing this message, I got the TV to work. Now I’ll start hunting down ATI support for the HDTV.

The HDTV worked fine, but I will give you a bit of advice. Get an antenna from antennasdirect.com as they has some of the best antennas for the same price as a crap antenna found at the local consumer electronics store. If you plan on doing more than just watching HDTV, beef up your CPU and HDD space. You’ll need both.
