So I upgrade MMC to 9.06.1 and first time I try to run the TV tuner, the
machine reboots.

So I upgrade to the latest Catalyst driver. Now I'm getting a "Cannot
initialize video" problem.

So I reinstall the MMC update...

Now it works... the first time I run the tuner. Works great, channel
change is fast and smooth. Close it, and it gets a "Cannot
initialize..." message every time until I reboot.

Trying to playback a recorded .VCR file results in a crash of MMC...

Can't these bozos get anything right?

No. They're complete *idiots*--at least when it comes to software. I can't
believe I'm just assuming I'll get another ATI card when I build a new PC
soon. I guess there's not any alternative as versatile. After you go
through the 5-ring circus to get the goddamn thing to work, that is.
