Hi all-

I first had a hauppauge 350 (with GBPVR) which had very nice analog signal.
I now have a 1600, using it with analog. the output was always just OK, not as good as 350, and now it appears the analog tuner is losing it- quality is always horrible.

I have hooked up ATSC QAM via the huge antenna in the attic ; ) and the quality for most channels it gets is good, but winTV and not surprising thus NPVR are pretty horrible at succeeding when changing channels (from one channel with great ATSC signal to another with great ATSC signal).

I would like to end up with 2 analog tuners plus one tuner for ATSC QAM.

What manufacturer would folks recommend I look at for these tuners? I am not against trying Hauppauge again but from my experience and what I read, they may not be what they once were.

Win7 64, 10GB RAM, dual core 2.93GHz

thanks,

Brian.

I am using an Inteset MCE real RC6 remote control with my NUC/OpenElec kit which works really well. Compared with using a keyboard, I missed the ability to skip forward and backward by a day in the TV listings, and since the SkipNext and SkipPrevious buttons are not being used I added a quick hack to emulate.py at the end of the if..else key and button tests in OnAction:
elif buttonID == 223:
[INDENT]url = keyBase + str(39|0x20000)[/INDENT]
elif buttonID == 221:
[INDENT]url = keyBase + str(37|0x20000)[/INDENT]
which works nicely. I realise it should be using some proper defines for the button codes but am not sure where to find them.

Could something like this be added to X-NEWA?

I like how npvr shows fanart in grid mode for videos in the newest version where if there is only one video file, it has a "play" and "back" button select the folder. I found though that for a video_ts DVD that it reverts back to the old way of doing it and doesn't show the "play" and "back" buttons but instead shows another folder structure.

Is there a way for npvr to see that it's a DVD and show the "play" and "back" button as well?

This would make it perfect and simple.

When I click "Live TV" I receive the following error: "The tuner you were using was required for a recording. Would you like to switch to watching a recording, or exit back to the menu?"

No recording was active. My Live TV Buffer is set to C:\Temp. Scheduled recordings appear to record properly. After discovering the problem I upgraded to 3.2.9 but the problem persists.

I use Windows Vista Home Premium and a Hdhomerun Dual ATSC tuner. I am receiving my TV signal OTA.

Logs are attached.

Next PVR finds no channels in scan. Windows Media Center found them, no problem.

Hello

I have just installed Nextpvr. It installs fine at it sees my digital devices cards, but then I try to scan for channels I get the error 'faild to start device'

I am normally using Argus TV, and here it have worked for years without problems. I have stopped the argus services and restarted server.

I am testing NextPVR because of media browser 3, there you have a nextpvr plugin.

Logs attached:



Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Best regards

Is there a still a setting to ask for resume or restart when you start watching a video? GBPVR had a setting in the config file.

I've just realised that Easter has passed us by - this is significant because it normally marks my annual donation to Sub for this wonderful software.

I'm posting just in case it reminds anyone else that Sub deserves a reward for the hard work he puts into this...and more importantly to keep him interested.

Donation on it's way.

I may be imagining this but since 3.2.9 when I choose a recording from one of the recordings lists then hit escape because I want to carry on looking through the list it returns me to the top of the list rather than where I previously was.

I'm sure this is new behavior, I seem to remember one of my very first wish list items that Sub implemented when I joined GBPVR was for it to return to the previous position rather than the top of a list.

Have other people noticed this change?

The channel list after scanning is incomplete. The channels missing is all from Astra 3B 23.5.
I tried other PVR software similar to NextPVR which comes with channel list pre-installed, including from Astra 3B and work fine.

I would appreciate if some would help with the following:

1# I have manage to export the channel list form the other PVR software but these are in *.ini or *.cvs format. Maybe I could tune into the missing channels if I would convert the ini or cvs file to xml so that NextPVR can import it.

2# Better Yet. If some could tell me why NextPVR will not scan anything from my 2nd LNB that is meant for Astra 3B 23.5

This my setup:
Receiver; 1x TBS6982 PCI-E DVB-S2 Dual Tuner TV card
Switch: 2x Spaun SAR 411
LNB: 3x ALPS twin LNB. 1st > Astra 1 19.2, 2nd > Astra 3B 23.5, 3rd > Astra 2 28.2

It could be that you would like to know some specific details. Please fell free and ask.
