Just tried that too; still no joy. Same "disabling BIOS" message yet again. 
Pfui!

This card has played video just fine on a VGA display for a while now 
(using xine, mplayer, or xawtv ... this is not my Myth host, just a 
different card I'm using to test the X server before I spend any more money 
on cards for my Myth host that might not work). It does not support xv, 
which will be a big deal for Myth but is OK for these other players.
