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

From: Dennis Q. Wilson on 25 Jan 2006 01:24 Maybe I'm dense, but since upgrading from MMC 9.08 to 9.13, Video On Demand runs full-time, and I can't figure out how to turn it off. Can someone clue me in?
From: Ted F on 25 Jan 2006 09:12 You can NOT turn off or disable the TV Video On Demand in MMC 9.13, the program always stays active. The ATI TV Video On Demand is compared to "Snapstream" both can not be turned off to simply watch live TV. Your in trouble if you have a small hard drive. It saves small files that add up wasting your hard drive space. Also, what I notice too is the GUIDE PLUS+ program guide does not detect the ATI TV tuner. I too went back to the old MMC 9.06.1, the MMC 9.08 does not work for me, where I have complete control if I want to use Video On Demand at any time. Thus, I never use Video On Demand anyway.

I use video-on-demand to pause and skip fwd/rev during live TV but never save the files when exiting DTV for the reasons you mention. I haven't loaded up 9.13 yet and if I have to manually toss out the VOD files, I might not bother with it. Or do I misunderstand video-on-demand? GG
From: Ted F on 25 Jan 2006 14:30 There are "cache files" saved to the hard drive and do add up. I have over 680mb saved cache files on my hard drive. These files are created and saved hard drive when watching simple live TV. As I said before, You should have complete control to turn off (disable) Video On Demand.

I have plenty of space on my hard drives -- I just don't want them thrashing all the time. I must say I detest most of the changes in Setup, too. Like, what happened to VideoSoap? |
