ATI drivers BT878 no TV

OK i just installed the proper ATI drivers but lost my TV watching. The ATI 1f40 drivers are working perfect but when I lauch tvtime from terminal I get this error:

PHP Code:


			
Running tvtime 1.0.1.

Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml

Reading configuration from /root/.tvtime/tvtime.xml

xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images.



*** tvtime requires hardware YUY2 overlay support from your video card

*** driver.  If you are using an older NVIDIA card (TNT2), then

*** this capability is only available with their binary drivers.

*** For some ATI cards, this feature may be found in the experimental

*** GATOS drivers: http://gatos.souceforge.net/

*** If unsure, please check with your distribution to see if your

What now? How can I watch TV again? Or how do I enable YUY2 support in ATI drivers?

I know this has probably been answered before, so just send me in the right direction or provide a link.

My hardware:

ATI 9800 Pro 128MB
Leadtek BT878 based card (Winfast Deluxe?)
1024MB DDR
Intel 845 based MB (D845BG)

I missed any thing just ask...

<<It worked perfectly before ATI driver update>>

did you install the ati drivers from synaptic/apt-get? if so how did you configure them? try typing this into a terminal

Code:

xvinfo

if it says something like "no display" or something like that, then add this line to the device section (below the line that says "Driver "fglrx"")of your xorg.conf

Code:

Option "VideoOverlay"               "on"

I have the same problem:

:~$ xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present

In xorg.conf there is already overlay on

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. ATI Default Card"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

What can i do?
