You are probably running DirectX 9.0b?

Found the problem on the Ati site apparently w98/2000/Me require a a non
standard codec to be downloaded and installed from the MS site for the TV
function to work on the radeon AIW. If the codec is not their the TV
function is not present on the launch bar and Launching TV from programs
does nothing at all

Many thanks, this was driving me mad. Many, many re-installs. Now, if I
can just get the file associations wrenched away from ATI's sticky
clutches...
