Turning off TV On Demand
How in the heck do you turn off TV On Demand? Help file says to change
recording mode to something other than Native in TV setup but it still records. Thanks! Louie Gainesville, FL |
Turning off TV On Demand
Got to ATI.com
Check : Topic #: 737-22252 - TV On Demand cannot be disabled with ATI Multimedia Center 9.13 or higher NOTE : Does not always work. When you close the ATI TV player and start it up again you will lose what you did, meaning you'll have to go though the same steps again to disable the TV On Demand. What I did is used the "Composite" or "S-Video", when active a windows will pop up asking "Use this connector with TV On Demand" I clicked "NO" and check the box "do not show this again". This disables TV On Demand "PERMANENTLY" as also for the "S-Video connector". Because I have a Digital cable box that has those connectors (RCA and/or S-Video), thats what I use.

Louie Gainesville, FL The registry hack worked, thanks so much! TV On Demand was eating up my HD space. You wouldn't happen to know how to get previous recordings deleted, would you? I've tried deleting in Media Library but no joy. I even did a HD search for a particular file with no joy. Look in My Documents but nothing there. Thanks! Louie Gainesville, FL |

When in doubt, make a recording, and then use the Windows search
function to find the files on your hard drive that were most recently created, sorted by creation time and date. The TV recordings, having just been made, will be near the very top of the list. This works for other files also that get created but you don't know where they are stored. Louie wrote: "Ted F" wrote in message ...

The *.vcr files are stored in a directory called : ATI MMC
Most computers have only one hard drive partition, in that case. The only way to delete the files is uninstall the just the ATI MMC Suite. Then delete the ATI MMC directory. Then install the ATI MMC Suite again with the TV On Demand disabled "OR" pick a different location for the *.vcr to be saved in the ATI MMC directory, which is a different partition. Like mine I have my hard drive partitioned into 4 drives C/D/E/F. Therefore the ATI MMC directory was located on the F hard drive partition where I simply reformated that drive ONLY, which deleted that directory with those *.vcr files. I had over 3 GB in that directory. Hope this helps "Louie" wrote in message . .. "Ted F" wrote in message ...

Not necessary. You can just browse to the folder and delete the files.
No need to restore. If you can't delete because MMC is running, shut it down then delete the files.

Thanks again! Found the *.vcr files in C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\ATI MMC. Did a local search on the C HD, found and deleted just the *.vcr files and recovered around 10GB of space. bg BTW, my MMC is v9.14. Maybe ATI will "fix" TV On Demand in the next release. Doing the registry hack and the above, I now have the TV working the way *I* want. Thanks big time.

Please note that he DID just delete them, as I too have done many times.
Which is the ultimate proof that it's not at all impossible. Ted F wrote: HELL NO!!....YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT...DUDE! I been round and round with this.
