Default Turning off TV On Demand

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.

I been round and round with this.

ATI SAID "THERE IS NO WAY TO DELETE THOSE FILES. THERE HIDDEN FILES WINDOWS
SEARCH WILL FIND THEM, BUT, WILL NOT TOTALLY DELETE THEM"

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.

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

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.

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!

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!
