[QUOTE="Tesla, post: 727657, member: 88010"] I had a AIW9600 in my first MP build. Use XP. Pick an older ATI CCC from those days and the matching ATI-MMC. Get that working. According to my notes, I used Catalyst 8.12 . The TV device part and capture will require the matching MMC software. I'm pretty sure MP needs a TV card with hardware decoding and those old ATI AIWers are software only. All I could get working properly is MP and launch MMC-TV as an external app (to watch TV). If your cable system still delivers analog cable (ch 2-125) and that's all you want, you can get a Hauppage 250 cheap on eBay. It will work fine with MP. If you want clear-QAM or ASTC, get a newer or current one. You can still use the AIW as a plain ATI-9800 video card only. I think a H-350 will do digital. My brother still uses the MP box described above (with ATI-9600 and Hauppauge-250). He does mp3, WAV, JPG pics, AVI, and VIDEO_TS folder DVD rips (with DD5.1 sound). It's some old AMD chip (runs like a 2.4ghz Pentium 4) with 1gb RAM. It has a ChainTech optical digital audio out card to run audio directly to amp (you need that for DD5.1 and even the 2 channel stereo stuff sounds better). [/QUOTE]
