I have this card.
If I connect it to my TV also the system halts on an error just before Windows loads and reboots the box (note I cannot see the error). I unhook the TV and let it boot. When Windows comes back up it says it recovered from a serious error with the ATI driver.
If I connect to my TV after the system has finished booting it works great.
Any ideas here?
I'd really like to use my monitor and TV at the same time, but I cannot figure out whats going on during boot.
Also I have tried to use several other ATI driver version, all with the same issue.

Well looking through the Rage3D forums it appears many others have this same issue. Someone said they fixed this by going back as far as 6071 driver set (pre-Catalyst).
If I try this and it works, What am I gonna be missing out on in the newer drivers?
This part of owning an ATI really stinks. They do make shit drivers from what I have seen so far. Are there any drivers alternatives out there besides Omega's?

Never mind. Still doesn't work even after trying 5 different driver sets.
It does work if the card is set for Standard VGA or Windows XP ATI Driver from M$. At least I know it's not a hardware issue.
I sent ATI a Tech Support e-mail, maybe they will come through. I have little faith in most computer companies though.

I haven't played more than a few rounds of UT with my Radeon, but I didn't notice anything unusual.
As to your problem LT, sorry but I have no clue. I haven't had the desire to use my video card on the TV. Dual monitors maybe, but not the TV.
