Hi
I have a Hercules 9800se aiw card

But I don’t have any idea how to get the TV working

Were can I find the channels for the TV

OK, first: have you installed the WDM/Capture drivers?
To check, open Device Manager, and look in "Sound, video, and game controllers" . . .
If the drivers are installed correctly, there should be six ATI items listed there

Peter-B · Mar 15, 2004, 03:00 PM

All 6 of them are there

And the remote control is working fine as well, but were can I find the option
For searching TV channels

And yes, the TV cable is plugged in as well

Ah, OK

Start up the TV, now hit the Setup button (or Ctrl + S).
On the TV Tuner tab, on the lower right, choose your Cable Standard, and below that, Cable or Antenna, and finally click the Autoscan button.
That will detect what channels you receive, and you should be ready to go!

Kind of weird, but there is no TV tuner tab or anything that says’s something about cable or antenna

I reinstalled the latest wdm driver from omega corner…………but it isn’t there

This is al there is, it's Dutch but you will get it I guess

You have S Video selected - not the tuner.

That is very weird, it's like you don't have a TV tuner on the card

Can you click on the Input-connector button? (the one next to the Mute, 2nd from right) Does it ever change to TV tuner?
In the Device Manager, where you looked before, is there an item called ATI WDM TV Tuner?

Hmmm, I'm guessing you just got this card lately.
What was your previous card?
Did you uninstall and clean out the previous driver before? Did you use Driver Cleaner for that?
Have you tried doing a clean uninstall and re-install of all your ATI drivers and MMC, everything?

When you upgraded to this card, did you reformat your harddrive and do a clean install of Windows?
Sometimes, when upgrading a video card, things simply don't work right unless you do so.
If nothing else works, and you didn't do it before, I'd suggest a fresh format and re-install of Windows.

And if all that doesn't work, and the TV tuner still isn't working, I'd suggest getting a replacement for the card.

It’s a new machine, so there was no previous vid in it
I only installed the original drivers that came whit the card
And later I updated to omega drivers
But I dint use any driver cleaner
