Sapphire Theatrix & MMC
Just a quick question, is it possible to use MMC with the Sapphire Theatrix
TV tuner card? I've tried installing it but no channels are detected. Thanks, JB |

It will work with a good video card. Download the latest drivers from ATI's
website, look under TV TunersTV Wonder Elite, then custom install the MMC suite uncheck the DVD Player, because you will be able to install the DVD Decoder with that TV Tuner card. This should work in this order. I have that TV Tuner card, ATI Remote Wonder Plus and PNY FX5200 128mb AGP video card with the latest TV Tuner driver (6.14.10.175) and install the MMC 9.14. For me it works great!, I do have minor bugs but, I can live with it. Also, the remote that came with the card may work also, but, its best to have a "ATI Remote Wonder Plus" to work with the MMC suite correctly. Goodluck!

Does yours pick up channels without a problem, or was there anything else you had to do first? Thanks, JB |

Yes, first time I scanned for channels the program found "Theatre 550 Pro 1"
and found 77 channels on cable. Things to check for : ***Most important thing check your TV connector on the card, see if you correctly connected to the right connector, there's two connectors TV and FM*** ""That may cause no signal and or channels being found"" **OR** Go into : ATI Multimedia Center Configuration click on the "TV" tab, if you see under : Selected Input Sources "Theatre 550 Pro 1" the software is detecting the card. (same thing with the FM Radio "Tab" "Theatre 550 Pro 1") You should not be having a problem detecting scanned channels. Also, what TV signal are you using?, air TV or cable TV?

Strangely, after uninstalling and reinstalling all my ATI software, it now picks up my TV signal without any fuss. One other question, how is the audio with your 550? I get interruptions and small patches of silence, I'm not sure if this is the fault of the TV card, the software, or the onboard audio on my motherboard. JB |

No problems with my sound at all. Mine, I have the Creative Audigy 2 sound
card and makes all the difference in the world. Because there no audio connector on the 550 card, the sound passes through the mainboard. Just make sure you have the latest sound drivers installed, it maybe because you have on-board sound. "Justin Baker ntlworld.com" justin.baker@removethis wrote in message ...

I tried disabling the onboard sound and using first a Live, and then an Audigy 2 ZS. I still get the stuttering audio. Is it possible to take the audio directly from the Line In on the sound card, either using PowerCinema or MMC? Thanks, JB |
