No Vista support? Try Beyond TV by SnapStream
by Doug on Aug 28th, 2007 at 8:55 AM:
I'm a complete novice building for the first time... assembled components over the last year and finally put it all together to discover no Vista compatibilty. ATI tech support said sorry, try Beyond TV, so I did and it works great! A bit primitive compared to what I was expecting from Catalyst but there's TV, burn video, FM radio and set TV or internet record time. It's free for 21 days and $70 - $100 after that.... Hopefully ATI will come to there senses in the next 3 weeks

Do not buy this card for VISTA - totally unsupported

ATI should be ashamed of themselves. This card is supposed to be the flagship AIW card for this company and it didn't survive on OS upgrade. Sure it works as a standard display card but why the heck would you run an AIW card if you have no interest in multimedia capabilities it offers? This card is dead in the water and the latest response I received from customer support was to use Beyond TV...which apparently does not work. This has Class Action Suit written all over it.
All I do is Wonder...

If you have, or will have Vista do NOT buy this card. Half of the card's functionality will be lost. ATi lied when they said it was Vista ready, IT IS NOT. The graphics portion of the card works fine. But the reason most people purchase this card is to use the card's multi media functions and ATi will NOT create drivers that will work with Vista that would allow you to use that part of the card nor will they allow you to return the card. It is a total rip off.
Vista Compatible? No!

I was very happy with the performance I was seeing with this video card under Win XP, but now that I have upgraded to Vista Home Premium, I am not impressed with the support for this product at all. Sure the Video driver works great - just like all of the other Radeons, but after 5 months since the release of Vista there are still no plans for createing drivers for all of the other components of the AIW. No TV Tuner support. No FM Tuner support. No Multimedia Software. This was the 3rd generation of the AIW I have owned. I think it might be the last (assuming they make any more).
