Quote from: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1641024,00.asp But the upshot is: ATI released a product that was not ready for prime time. They failed to test it on many of the common platforms, including nForce and other AMD-based systems, and with non-ATI graphics cards. They also...

Given your specs, yes it will post.

Understood. Give your system spec.

Remove the card and see what happens.

Yesterday I finally got a breakthrough - proving that the high CPU usage on the HDTV WONDER is an anomaly - and NOT related to my so-called "low" specs. I disabled ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). I followed the steps described here...

I am not too sure how to get PiP working. I should probably RTFM. But I tried running the HD and TV at the same time but the app won't let me do it. One of them has to be suspended or terminated. Starting HD/TV in different order did not matter. Perhaps PiP can only be used if TV-ON-DEMAND is...

Problems related to high CPU usage has officially been recognized. "[...] the DTV Player may indicate higher than expected CPU utilization." There is hope. ref. http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4589.html

Thanks again for your hands-on insight. Your top-of-the-line HT system is using 40% CPU! This still isn't right. It cannot be right. I found on another forum someone who has an Athlon-64 3200+ (read more here http://www.rage3d.org/board/showthread.php?p=1333129476#post1333129476). The...

Hey Binkt, You may want to check out this discussion about high CPU usage... http://www.videocard-forum.com/ati/HDTV_Wonder_audio_bug_188292.html

... and the HDTV WONDER *will* work when ATI makes the time shifting optional. (If you had the card you'd know precisely what I am talking about). Lets forget my specs for a moment (which actually do not *meet* but *beat* the minimum requirements) and turn your attention to what I am...

Ok so, what do you consider "modern"? BTW, I *do* meet ATI's minimum requirements. Do you have an HDTV WONDER yourself in order to substantiate your assertions in this thread?

Did not help but thanks anyway. Perhaps this product is flawed because 1) it was rushed to market 2) it is not available in Canada - and ATI employees couldn't care less or have no way to test it 3) there is little competition, so... 4) all of the above

This is in response to Binkt. Thanks for your suggestion. I will try this evening. So how much CPU is your ATIMMC.EXE using now? (Do Ctrl-Alt-Del/Task Manager/Performance). Yes, I do have the XT (Dual display) card. My home theater system is a Via P4XB mobo w/ P4 1.7 GHz 100 FSB, 512...

... and now the next episode. Taking the Audigy 2 completely out did not do anything. I stopped all running tasks and processes I could find. ATIMMC.EXE is still at 99% CPU. I even disabled the swap and the hard disk still spinning constantly. Let's hear it again folks: TV-ON-DEMAND...

Ok ok ok. So I did add 256 MB of RAM. Guess what? No change whatsoever. Hard disk is STILL going crazy, CPU is STILL topping 100%. I do have to make a correction; my CPU isn't a P4 1.6 GHz like I reported but a P4 1.7 GHz. Further investigation: 1)...

This product is flawed. My system, P4 1.6GHz 256 MB shows ATIMMC.EXE at 99%+ CPU usage CONSTANTLY !!! And, of course, video/audio have lots of hiccups like many have reported. But why am I the only one to be paranoid about this crazy disk activity taking place??? Why am I seeing the...
