Watching BBC HD on a freeview box via Windows Media Centre seems to be generating some issues with ATI cards.

Just as well I've just got that 8800GTS from Fogmeister :D

Sadly its all true. Since BBC changed its encoding for HD, ATI cards no-longer work, whereas NVIDIA ones do.

This is very annoying as in all other respects AMD\ATI kit offers a superior price\performance ratio!

Buy cheap, pay twice!

I'm not really surprised. They may get a fast card out from time to time, but the drivers often leave a lot to be desired and they cut corners in places where they probably shouldn't.
