[QUOTE="aiwnow, post: 40660, member: 18773"] I'd say take the 10 GB/s memory requirement with a grain of salt. That MS article is not exactly technically oriented. 1080i is 1920 * 540 * 60 * 3 ~= 186 MB/s if it's uncompressed RGB. If it's packed YUV it's even less. 10 GB/s is more than 53 times that. What renderer does the ATI MMC use? It requires DX9 cards to show 1080i content. As far as I know WatchHDTV uses VMR7. MMC showed a blank screen for 1080i channels from my HDTV Wonder on a AIW 7500. WatchHDTV worked fine. Now that I upgraded to a Radeon 9600 non-pro, both show 1080i channels. I'm really hoping 0.2 final will work for me. All I want is the digital reception to work. My analog reception is poor so I don't even have it hooked up. MMC has a lot of issues and WatchHDTV is not well suited for a HTPC. [/QUOTE]
