No channels on an ATI 550 in tvserver. Works fine in 2.2.0 MP.

Since I have seen several posts on ATI 550's, can we get a definitive answer if this card works or not?

I can now confirm this card is NOT supported in any way shape or form for either video or FM.

The log issue that comes up is:

I think this may be related to how the Microsoft MPEG-2 Demultiplexor works as the program calling it must create the output pins on the fly. It took me a few tries to create the correct output pins in graphedit, but I finally got it to work.

Did you get the ati550 to work with tve3?
