Hi:

I used MPV and GB-PVR for only one week. It is a great combination. Thanks for those who contributes to it.

I have a question about viewing live TV through MPV (with GB-PVR server). Everytime when the mini-guide shows at the bottom of the TV screen (e.g. when I press the remote or change the channel), my TV display dims for one or two seconds.

When I view the live TV on a PC, it doesn't have this problem. GB-PVR on PC switches the channel instantly and flawlessly.

Is this normal when using MVP/GB-PVR to watch live TV?

I set the preplay delay to 1000 ms to prevent the live TV from stopping every minutes. Does it have anything to do with the dimming display problem?

Any advice is appreciated.

Dell 8400 MCE 2005, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD
Wintv-PVR 150 mce x1
MPV x1
Buffalo 54G Wireless bridge (WDS)between PC and MVP
GB-PVR 0.90.10

Yes, unless you enable the 'fully transparent OSD' option on the Playback tab of the Config app.

Sub,

Thanks for the answer. I will try it tonight.
