I've almost got this working but not quite. I'm running Win7 Ultimate and using a SDPrime three tuner card with a cable card. I can get a picture and occasionally sound with Live TV but it's inconsistent and in every case NPVR freezes after one or two channel changes. I had no problem propagating NPVR with the SDPrime channels and they show up on the epg screen although I haven't yet tried to subscribe to a epg source. I did set the Win7 firewall to let NPVR through. I started with the thought of using NPVR with XBMC but NPVR does exactly what I want on my large screen so I'm going to forget XBMC. Any thoughts on what I can do to make this a consistent process?
I lost STV HD myself, so just wanted to post the new tuning info, along with the other main HD channels;

I had a manual recording entitled "Kako so/je ...". Due to the dots at the end of the name I got failed recordings. It seems that an invalid filename could be generated by the recording service.
Code:

I'm hoping to jump ship and move to NPVR at the next release and would like to use the live tv on all of my clients using the XBMC plugin created by Sub.
The problem is I have some low powered devices (in the kitchen etc) that can run XBMC / SD Video fine, but cannot handle HD video - I wondered if there is any way of specifying transcoding of any HD channels to 480p at the tv server so that I can stream then OK to my lower powered clients?
I would only need this transcoding to occur for certain clients, as my main TV units are HD capable - is this something I can achieve with NPVR ?
I'm using xbmc on apple tv2 for a while, however today I've tried to enable live tv. Installed nextpvr on my windows xp computer, connected xbmc. Now the problem is I don't have any devices showing in my nextpvr settings. I guess I may need additional hardware. Currently I have video card ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 series. What else do I need to enable live tv channels. Thanks and greatly appreciated. George
I did a very quick search and could not find an answer. Is there any way to increase the number of stations listed per page? I have so few (10) but they just don't all fit as the program is written (8).
I have been using Vista Media Center for years and now heard of next nextpvr and wanted to try it because of the streaming possibilities and some nice features.
I got dvbt running quickly but now I had some other idea: My current hope is that I can include a usb camera (Logitech QuickCam E2500) as a "live tv" program (trying to see if it can work as a baby phone). for now everything local in one machine.
After quite a while of digging in documentation and forums I came to the conclusion that the usb cam would be considerd an "analog device", for some reason (although I find the name misleading, since it seems more an issue of mpeg or raw). So I installed the SoftPVR via option 2 and downloaded the Filtercheck tool. however, it says "Filter information dumped to filtercheck.log" and then crashes.
This is what I can see in filtercheck.log afterwards:
13:59:09.234 INFO Log started
13:59:09.234 INFO Filter Check v1.0
13:59:09.234 INFO
13:59:09.234 INFO
13:59:09.234 INFO Checking AM_KSCATEGORY_CAPTURE filters
I believe it crashes on some unexpected entry in some list or so.
Anyways, the names of the analog devices are also listed in skype when you select your video input device (at least I believe it is the same). So I copied the name "Logitech QuickCam E2500" from the combo box there to the AnalogDevices.xml file. After next start, the camera was "recognized" (it showed up in Settings /devices as type analog, but I have no clue whether I should use soft encoding or hardware encoding. I chose soft but I get an error message when I switch to the assigned channel ("unable to find available capture device", but earlier I have seen also something like "error communicating...").
Anybody has an idea why FilterCheck crashes on my vista machine (probably not, but what can I try instead) ?
Or, does it make sense at all what I am trying to do, i.e. can nextpvr handle a usb camera as an analog capture device ?
If so, how should I set it up ?
So i broke down and bought a HDHOMERUN Prime. I was very excited but i cant get the NPVR to access the channels. I am running the latest version on NPVR and WINDOWS XP and FIOS
So i have the devices type hdhr, atsc and qam for the 3 tuners. If i search on atsc and qam it finds nothing, but the hdhr SCAN finds all the channels. But when accessing the live channel i get nothing. No video or audio just a black screen. I searched the forums for help. I changed all the renders and decoders. Exiting out of npvr and restarting to see if the change fixed the issue. No luck =(
The hdhomerun quicktv works and also vlc works but not npvr. Can someone please help me? Is it because i am running XP?
I had everything working, then my hard drive failed so I rebuilt the PC and now I can't get Next PVR to work with XBMC. When I select a TV show from the EPG from XBMC after about a minute an XBMC message pops up "The channel cannot be played. Check the log for details".
I have both the colossus tuners working in showbiz and IRSS does change the channels. I am using Shark 007 and the AC3 Filer.
On the Next PVR under the decoder menu, everything is either Microsoft DTV-DVD or AC3 Filter. I have also applied the patch for Microsoft DTV-DVD
I have attached the Next PVR Logs. Can anyone help??
I was trying to get NPVR to work with a Roku box roughly a year ago. I was using post processing to convert to .mp4, but with a older pc I had to abandon the effort.
I recently built a new htpc box with an Asus AM 3+ board, 8 gb of ram, and a free used dual core 2800 cpu.
Addressing a few configuration issues and plugin setups, I now have a rock solid, not to mention kick ass htpc system. I now want to try the Roku setup again.
Guess the first question should be if this cpu is sufficient? Secondly, go the post processing route or stream with PlayOn and Universe. I would prefer to stream if I have the ooomph!
