HDTV Wonder is totally pissing me off

HDTV wonder is the worst product ever. Doesnt install properly. After WDM driver installation always got the "new Hardware Found - Multimedia Video Controller" popup on every boot. That driver never gets installed and had to force manual install to the devices shown in the pic. The two DTV ones. The other two ATI rage ones are from my display adapter.



HIS ICEQ II X800XT PE VIVO

HDTV Wonder (crap)

Intel Proc/chipset

Enough RAM

Cat 5.1 w CCC

DX9 though missing system.dll file - dunno how to install this. DX installer wont reinstall and this happened while installing/uninstalling the drivers.

MMC 9.01 (the one given on ati.com is 9.03, but installing that doesnt give DTV - what the heck)

I already tried a complete clean install afte using driver cleaner.

Just a thought, haven't used the HDTV, but the VIVO and HDTV may be conflicting for media/video-in drivers. Just a thought, don't know how to resolve.

Have you tried wiping all the old drivers, then installing just the graphics driver (don't install the whole catalyst pakage or WDM drivers) and then the tuner's package? Just a thought but it would make sense that it has trouble figuring out what to do with the two devices handleable with the WDM drivers.

As for installing DX you first have to remove it, using a DX removal tool (it won't just uninstall from add/remove), then you re-install.

Anywhoo just some thoughts.

Good Luck!

well, finally i got it working. Was missing 3 drivers in that driver list.

Now I have to figure out how to get a good reception.
maybe buy an amplified UHF HD antenna.
