Digital TV - display messed up and guide troubles (but otherwise fine :)

I installed Vista Feb CTP on my Media Center PC. Channels are tuning fine after installing the BDA drivers for my Nebula DigitTV card.

Unfortunately I ran into trouble with the display of live tv. It seems that the picture is getting chopped off on the right, and the left hand 1/8th of the picture is displayed on the right where the right part of the picture should be. I'm using a Radeon 9200, with the built-in drivers for it (not WDDM capable).

Has anyone else run into this trouble?

I also couldn't get either BRP or IceTV working.

BRP failed because the URL was too long for downloading the Guide - so I changed the references from "file:" to "http:" and it got further - upto downloading the guide. The guide download unfortunately hung at around 50% and wouldn't complete.

I then tried IceTV, which failed with an error 42 (something about the Headend server).

IceTV is now working for me, thanks to their efficient support and programmers.

Were you able to get the guide working with BRP or did you keep with IceTV? Can you elaborate on the IceTV fix that you needed to get it up and running (I'm having similar errors with BRP/FreeXMLTV and am looking for workarounds to get the guide configured in MCE so as I can use the BRP created guide.bin).

I stuck with IceTV. The IceTV people made some changes on their end to get things working, based on the error logs that I sent them.
