Radeon AIW 8500DV card

[Henry Bemis]

This card worked fine in the beginning. The most current drivers have turned it
into a damned nightmare. NOTHING other than the video drivers work as designed.
The older drivers don't fix it. The TV never initializes anymore.

Can a Hauppage PCI TV card work along side it if I only load the video drivers
for the ATI?

You don't say what OS you are trying to get it to work on, but anyway, it's
an ancient 6 year old card with extremely slow clocks for a 8500 series (230
core/190 memory) and the AIW feature was never as good as a separate TV
tuner card even when it worked properly. You can use it as just a video card
without the AIW features and install a Hauppage tuner.

For me, with original ATI 8500DV and remote wonder, the best driver
configuration under XP is :

ATI - Utilitaire de désinstallation du logiciel 6.14.10.1012
ATI Control Panel 6.14.10.5145
ATI Decoder 4.02
ATI Display Driver 8.121-050322a-022141C-ATI
ATI Multimedia Center 9.061
ATI Multimedia Center Help Files 9.061
ATI Remote Wonder 3.03

All are available on ATI-AMD site
All work fine on my old Athlon 1800+ configuration and the new one X2 4800+

Got it installed tonight. It's working super fine. I don't know why I waited so
long!

Yes, they make the AIW feature seem pretty lame by comparison.
