Post subject: | ATI Theater Pro 550 |
Hello all, I got my PVR working under WinXP using ATI's multimedia center, but since I'm only running a Celey 1ghz, it was a beast, and my DTV wouldn't record properly. So I want to try KnoppMyth, but I can't seem to find any information about this card anywhere. I think its an ATI TV Wonder Elite, as the Elite uses the 550 chipset (according to ATI's site), which is supposed to be supported by the BTTV kernel module, but I can't get it recognized or installed. When I installed KnoppMyth from the CD, it didn't recognize the card at all. Anyone had any luck with an ATI Theater Pro 550 card? The card was given to me by a friend who wasn't using it, as I don't have the money to spend on a Hauppauge card (which I've heard are the best.) It does support Hardware MPEG2 Video and Audio Encoding, I just can't seem to get it to work. -- System -- Celeron 1Ghz 1024 MB Ram NVidia FX6200 256MB AGP 4x (due to Mobo) Ensoniq 1371 Linksys LNE 10/100 Not a Linux n00b by any stretch of the imagination, but I can't get the BTTV module to load #46 for anything. Any help would be appreciated...thanks. -- LSPCI shows the device as an ATI unknown with a device ID of 45d2 |

Its definitely a Theater Pro 550 chipset. Gatos didn't seem to have anything that I saw. BTTV is supposed to work, using Driver #46 I believe. I'm re-installing Knoppmyth and using the i686 modules to see if that'll provide any help. |
