I've just flashed my AIW with the bios from ShadowFlare and now I can select my country (Romania) but when I seach for the channels I can't find not even one

! With the original bios(this is identical with the one from ATI Collection) I can find the channels but they aren't displayed ok.Any ideea ?
Thank you,

I guess the one that k62 has was just a special case. If someone who has a PAL version of one of these cards could post the bios, it would really help a lot in finding how to finish the mod to PAL. Of course, if someone did post the bios, I would only need to do the mod for the other one that a PAL version wasn't posted.

Well, then ceros, i think there is some hardware differences between PAL and NTSC

Cause when i tried the NTSC bios my tuner got NOTHING also.
Maybe the difference just is a resistor that needs to be moved or such, because some cars seems to have DIP(dil) switches. Anyway ATI support told me that a Pal bios Wouldnt make My NTSC card work for pal...They thought i got a NTSC card

...Couldnt really tell them i had a X800se card that i needed to unlock, could i!

Edit: ceros, the X800 microtuner is a lot more picky with weak tv signals than other tv cars, my tv image was crap untill i amplified the signal

Hmm, maybe it's not possible then. I was hoping that I would be able to help out with it for ceros and a007fan.

Hi ShadowFlare,

I just saw that the local representative of ATI in my country received the X800 XL AIW with the PAL system.
I was wondering whether this would mean that you or someone you know could get their hands on the BIOS of those cards, it would probably resolve my problem.
What do you say?

It might possibly help, but I'm not sure of it. You will just have to wait until someone can be found who has one.

replace the saw filter

Hi people,

i am another person, trying to get my ntsc card to tune pal signals.

I am attaching my bios in a .rar file i renamed to .zip. Could someone please change the ntsc to pal setting and upload it?

Also i would like to ask if anyone changed the saw filter and has seen their card work.

Thanks in advance,
decoder

Just a note to let you know
that i used the [PAL] bios posted on this
forum, changed the filters and the
tuner now works fine.

Thanks for the help and the nice site.

After more than 2 years I saw that this problem was finally nailed down.

hhq9702 and decoder if you are still on this forum ... Thank you !
Also could you please tell me from where you got those filters(K3953M & K9456M) and how much did they cost?
Thanks again !
