How to turn off video on Demand in MMC 9.13?
in [ATI Video Cards]

From: Urb on 28 Jan 2006 10:14 In the TV Initialization wizard you can uncheck "Preserve TV-On-Demand programs between sessions". When TV is closed the files are deleted. This wizard is also available on the Setup Display tab. You can also set your S-Video/Composite connection to not time-shift. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable time-shift on the tuner unfortunately. <stratus46(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1138216042.181359.105400(a)g49g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > Ted F wrote: > > You can NOT turn off or disable the TV Video On Demand in MMC 9.13, the > > program always stays active.

Can > someone clue me in? I also just upgraded because I was having video probs and now since I can't turn off time shift my tuner card is totally unusable. It constantly stutters. The whole reason I purchased the AIW card was to watch TV on my PC and now I can't. I can only hope they come out with a fix soon.
From: Ted F on 14 Feb 2006 10:13 I totally stop buying ATI products, since the recent change in there software. It BLOATS your hard drive. ATI should call their new MMC 9.13.

When it stutters, pause it for a second and then go back to play. I've noticed this with 9.08. AFAIK, TV on Demand can't be turned off but I wouldn't want to anyway because I LIKE skipping the commercials. GG |
