ATI 550 not initializing properly?

[amnw14545]

Hello,

downloaded v9608, installed on XP+SP2 +current errata.

Have an ATI 550 Sapphire Theatrix to get S-Video input from a Sky Digibox.

When I start GBPVR and enter LiveTV, the picture quality is awful, banding all over the place, extremely grainy, mostly black and white. I'm using a Grundig GDS3000 which has a dedicated S-Video output - it's definitely nothing to do with the cable (see the next sentence ...)

If I start the tuning assistant, then cancel it and re-enter gbpvr, picture quality is fine - everything is in colour.

If I restart the system (and I know you don't like people saying 'such and such' works fine with my setup...) and run BeyondTV, BTV shows LiveTV fine immediately.

By the way, I like the new look with v9608!

Thanks

Tony

You could try editing direct.ini, and setting ForceStandard=256 to force it to use PAL-I

Hello,
I just would like to say many times thanks. I had the same problem and solution described here helped me and now everything's going.

I tried about 15 various softwares for my home mediacenter PC, but in each of them something was missing or there was no support or was hard-coded with no, or almost no customization .

With GB-PVR I had also various problems, but all of them I could solve with customization or additional scripts.

Thanks a lot once again !
