Check with the other customer for the exact hotfix.
Users with identical hardware and issues are the best source for a
solution.
Many hotfixes are very specific and not generally available without
specific circumstances being met.
The manufacturer should at least be able to give you HotFix
identification.
The HotFix will may be very specific to a particular Make and model of
card.
You can search here:

Search for "ati"
Many will come up, perhaps you can locate your specific issue.

ATI says it isn't their problem. I have seen on a review
of ATI TV Wonder Pro(the card I would probably get) at
newegg.com that a customer had problems with the TV Tuner
program freezing, got a hotfix from microsoft and the card
worked perfectly. I haven't bought the card yet, I am
just trying to do my homework first. I have a Radeon 9800
Pro in the system already, so to be honest I would just
rather get the tuner card instead of spending the $300+ on
the AIW 9800 Pro.

Check the card mfg'r website for drivers or buy a better
card, such as the ATI AIW series of gaming/TV cards.
Hyperthreading shouldn't make any difference.

And did you call Microsoft at the number referenced in the article so
