Installation problem with ATI 550 card - black screen

Mike S. · 2005-12-17, 01:53 PM

While I installed for a theatrix 550 card, I get a black screen when viewed using live tv or from EPG but it records and plays back fine. If you run tuning assistant you get picture OK as well. PC is AMD Athlon 64 3400, Nv 6800 video card, win XP SP2.

Thanks to anyone who can assist.

Tried that - it stays completely black.

Found that newer nVidia cards seem to need overlay manager selected - that was the problem. Works fine now.
