TV Wonder 650 Install Issues

[hemitwo]

I wanted to share my install experience, as there is not enough of it out there. I installed the card into my PC with no problems, and installed the software with little to no problems. The "catalyst" software worked fine, but windows MCE didn't recognize the tuner, not good. I have installed ati products in the past, and knew that they are a pain to set up, so I started troubleshooting. I had forgotten how to install the drivers from ati's site,(the order, etc..) and I couldn't find the updated catalyst software. I finally found, that it didn't like the sound blaster live sound card I had recently installed. Once I removed the sound card, and rebooted, and started all over, it finally worked with MCE. Media center GUI is way better that the catalyst software I came to find out. I went and purchased a SB Audigy card, and installed it once I was done with the ati setup, and it worked great. I was also disappointed that the card didn't come with a remote, but a freebe offer for one and you pay the shipping. I guess it is nice because you can chose your remote, RF version, or MCE version. I was curious to see if the remote wonder 1.1 I had from on old 8500dv all in wonder card would work. I installed the old remote drivers, and behould, it did work. There is a couple of buttons, that don't work, but overall it will do. Hope this helps someone and sorry for the long post.
