I just "upgraded" my computer with a ATI TV Wonder pro and ATI Radeon 9800 pro 128meg video card. I am using this computer just for media output, playing MP3 audio and AVI/MPG videos, VCD, DVD, TV Out through my current television. I use a program - myHTPC - to provide the interface.

I installed the drivers that came with the cards. When I play through the ATI TV program the audio and video will go out of synch. when I play thru the myhtpc program the TV out will intermittantly freeze every 4-5 seconds until I turn the TV process off and then back on

I then installed the newest drivers for the TV card (including DAO / MDAC, TV-WONDER PRO Drivers, and Multimedia Center 9.03) and it is even worse. Now when I attempt to use the ATI TV program the screen will basically blink and nothing happens. WHen I use the myhtpc process I still get the freezes.

I prefer not to revert to the old cards. Are there any drivers, patches, or additional programs that I can use to make the TV Out/ TV Capture work?

previously I had a GeForce4 mx 440 with AGP8x 64meg video card and an old Hauppauge TV card which worked however the TV out was lacking.

current system:
- Win XP professional
- 1gig Ram
- AMD XP 2200+
