ATI Wonderful

Just installed the ATI TV Wonder HD 600 USB, on a Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Premium, completely in less than 1/2 hour & it works great! Great video & audio, in sync. However, the instructions are missing a key point or two. Luckily I spent some time reading reviews first. Shut down running programs and install the disk. While the disk is running, connect your cable to the outlet and the USB TV device then insert the USB TV device into your PC. Pull the battery protective tab from the remote & turn it on. When the install is done running, it will leave two icons: ATI Catalyst and BDARemote. Double click BDARemote first - it loads the USB device driver (not mentioned in the instructions!). It will appear nothing happened. Only then, double click the ATI Catalyst icon to recognize the stations and set viewing parameters. If you don't like Catalyst, you can then set up the TV on Windows Media Center.

TV tuner problems

The TV tuner USB drivers were difficult to install and required several long visits to the internet. When I got it set up it corrupted my sound card drivers to where even reloading the windows drivers was fruitless. I could receive the TV images but the speakers had to be turned off to eliminate a horrific screech. I had to format and reload all my software to clear up the problem.
