Hi,

I want to know where ATI's TV-program stores it's channel information.
Because I want to make a backup of these files and use them across my entire
network without 'scanning' through every channel and setting the
prefferences over and over again.

I want to know this for Windows XP.

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance,

Manu T

In the registry. You can export the entire TV key.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ATI Technologies\MultiMedia\Features\TV]

Exporting just the Tuner key may be sufficient, but I'm not sure about
that.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ATI
Technologies\MultiMedia\Features\TV\Tuner]

Thanks for this info.

Unfortunatly it only stores the channelnames (if any) in these locations not
the frequencies used. So I'm back at square one :-(

I can't test it now because MMC is not installed, but a few months ago I
reinstalled MMC from scratch and instead of reconfiguring the tuner I
just imported the TV key back into the registry. It worked just fine
then.

It stores this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ATI
Technologies\MultiMedia\Features\TV\Tuner\8]
"8"="{454E4F4E-5320-5445-0900-000017000000}"
"Channel Name"="TMF"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ATI
Technologies\MultiMedia\Features\TV\Tuner\9]
"9"="{454E4F4E-5320-5445-0900-00001F000000}"
"Channel Name"="MTV"

The stuff next to the channel number must have something to do with the
frequency, otherwise it would never have wroked when I tried it, but I
DID work.

I would presume it just stores a channel number rather than a frequency,
Manu. AIR from when I had an AIW (a Rage 128 Pro; a couple of years back),
there's no fine tuning, so a channel number would be all that's necessary.
Frequencies would be preset. You wouldn't need to restore them.

That must be it.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ATI
Technologies\MultiMedia\Features\TV\Tuner\9]
"9"="{454E4F4E-5320-5445-0900-00001F000000}"
"Channel Name"="MTV"

In that example 1F (hexadecimal) is the channel number and 9 is my
preset for it. Tuning channels to different preset numbers is a lot of
work (I had to do rearrange everything manually) that's why I exported
the registry key.
