Record TV Shows
I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 Pro 32MB video card and I am using Win
XP Pro. I would like to be able to record TV shows onto my computer. The TV service to my home is cable from CableVision and they also provide my internet access with Optimum Online. Can someone point me in a direction to show me how to accomplish this? Thanks a lot. |

You should be able to get nonpremium analog channels by plugging the cable into the AIW and having it scan the cable channels. For the premium channels you'll need to connect the cable box to the AIW by using a composite or S-video cable. -- -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

The Gemstar Guide+ software on the ATI CD will do this. You can also do
it manually with MMC (ATI Multimedia Center), the program that you use to watch TV, but you have to stop and start it manually (you have to be at the computer, there is no "timer" if you don't use Guide+). Look for a "Gemstar" folder on the ATI CD, burried somewhere on the CD. It's not installed by default in many early versions, so you have to find it and install it manually (when you find the folder, there will be a setup program in it). ~~~AAA~~~ wrote: I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 Pro 32MB video card and I am using Win XP Pro.

Got it working. I get the picture but not the sound. What I did was I
disconnected the cable for my digital service (iO Digital) where it goes into the cable modem and connected it to the cable receiving plug on the card. I then was able to use ATI's MMC version 7.2 and get video, but no sound??? I checked and my computer says that line-in is active and not on mute but still no sound. Any ideas???
