ATI HDTV Wonder Not Working w/ Sage

[jsidlosky]

Works great with ATI's DTV application. Installed latest WDM HDTV drivers, the latest decoder and media library application.

Sage 3.0.11 beta.

I get a black screen when trying to do live TV on any channels. No errors or anything. In the Sage.txt log file, I see this over and over thousands of times:

Any Ideas?...

I got it working, I didn't select a DTV channel it seems. There may be a tuner issue, will know shortly.


I do have a major performance issue though, even in Overlay mode, CPU is like 90% and I drop frames.

Any hints as to how to set things up for HDTV? I tried Nvidia and Sage mpeg decoders.

Also, whats the deal with setting the recording quality... Its straight off the mpeg2 stream, so there should be no "setting" for this. Is it trying to transcode in real time? (Would explain my CPU usage being soo high).
