When I was running WIN XP Beta, I was able to run my TV tuner on the RRG with my G200, I just forced XP to install the Win 2000 drivers. I never had any problems with the TV Tuner. But now that I use real version of XP, I have run into several problems with the TV tuner. Sometimes, when I shut the TV off (via remote) the picture shuts off, but the sounds continues to play. This never happened under the beta release of XP. I know the recommended course of action is to reformat my hard drive, and re-install everything. As much fun as this sounds, I have a better idea:
Dear Matrox Tech Support,
Please write REAL drivers for the TV tuner on the RRG, so that I can use it under WIN XP. As much as I like to force WIN XP to run Win 2000 drivers, I would prefer to do things properly. And unlike most of the other people on this board, I don't upgrade my video card every few months. Considering the OPEN GL ICD fiasco (did you ever really get that thing to work??), I would really appreciate some cooperation. I have had prior success just forcing the drivers to install under Win XP Beta, so I can't imagine why it doesn't work properly under the final release. As my resources are limited, ie: I didn't write the drivers, maybe you guys could fix it. Otherwise I am going to go and buy an ATI Radeon 8500DV card and you will lose my business.
In case you are wondering, I have a 16M G200 + RRG + DVD
btw, I am still ticked about that stupid hardware DVD module that I have which only runs under W98. Especially considering that I waited 6 months for it.
Sincerely,
X-Caliber
