enabling TV on AIW 9700 PRO for Australia
Hi, is anyone in australia and got the TV working for the AIW 9700 PRO card?
When i am in the TV setup panel, 'Australia' is not listed in the 'TV Tuner'. I don't have cable. Just have a normal house antenna. Am i right in understanding that I need to connect the antenna to the card. I am in dumb mode at the moment. I purchased this card off ebay (from a US seller). The card came with no manuals/cd's. I managed to install all the drivers etc. Have got the card going. MMC is up and running. TV is working but just getting static displaying. I thought the TV would work here. any help appreciated! Cheers, Scott |

It will work, you just need to select the right broadcasting format, i.e PAL/NTSC/Whatever then tune it manually using frequencies rather than channels. -- Conor Opinions personal, facts suspect. |

ATIs cards designed for NTSC broadcasts will *not* tune to PAL or SECAM broadcasts (other than PAL M - used in Brazil). If you have a video recorder, you should still be able to watch TV using its tuner via composite in - i.e. change channels on the video recorder. Failing this the best bet would be to sell it and ensure you buy the correct universal PAL/SECAM version that's used practically everywhere else other than Canada/USA/parts of South America and Japan. Hopefully one day ATI will release a Global format card which works anywhere but in the mean time the correct version must be bought for the broadcast format its used in. If you want to know which countries use the universal PAL/SECAM versions, have a nosey he http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Contrib/W...broadcast.html any of the PAL or SECAM country cards should work in Aussie - there's basically one design for all PAL and SECAM flavours (other than PAL-M) and the other for NTSC (also includes PAL-M). The individual countries using these broadcast formats are software selectable within MMC providing you have the right card. Paul (Originally from New Zealand) |

I'm sure I'm going to repeat what is been/go to be said, but you need a PAL card, the version you purchased is for us US boys and Girls who use NTSC. If you're intersted in getting rid of it (can't get it to work) I've been looking for one - as long as all the hardware is there. E-Mail me. |
