My system is 9.2.2. The Xclaim TV is an external box that attaches to the S-Video in on the video card already installed in the Beige. I installed the PCI Radeon 7000 which only has S Video out. A call to ATI resulted in them telling me that it is a known issue. In other word, sorry-that is the way it is. Choose between a good picture or TV. When I connect another monitor to the Mac the Xclaim TV works on the main monitor. Go figure.
Maybe I can get a TV tuner PCI card from someone. Anyone? Thanks, Byron on 7/7/03 11:06 PM, James S Jones at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Under what OS?
