However, the Windows Vista Media Center application does not support
TV/Capture functionality provided by the ATI All-in-Wonder. TV/Capture
functionality is qualified to function with Snaptream's BeyondTV 4.6
for Windows Vista. Other third party solutions (such as Arcsoft's Total
Media 3) may support TV/Capture with the ATI All-in-Wonder, but these
applications have not been fully tested by AMD.
