I kind of stumbled onto this while I was tring to get NextPVR working on my WHS2011. I own a few NMT PCH machines (A-200 and C-200) and was interested what it could do beyond me creating .ts files for me to view later.
I haven't gotten it working fully yet, I get to the killall:gaya line on a grey screen and looking for answers here I read an old post that A-200 models were not supported. Before I spend any more time head scratching, I just wanted to confirm that what I have will not work as of today.
Here is my setup;
WHS 2011 with NextPVR 2.3.6 installed (Recordings are working and the .ts files are being recorded in my 'Recorded TV' folder which is shared)
MPVMC installed using the default options (c: drive, etc.)
NMT PCH A-200 mapped to the installation folder of MPVMC etc. I get to the killall line as mentioned above but no further.
Hopefully that is enough information to confirm whether I should carry on or abandon trying to get this to work with my hardware.
A couple of years ago someone sugested including slideshow effects as seen in XBMC etc with zoom and fade. Is this available now? I am new to Nvpr so am still finding my way around and could not see it anywhere.

Just got an email on one of the xmltv list that bodes ill for the existing Radio Times data source
Quote:The Radio Times data service (as used by the tv_grab_uk_rt grabber for
several years) is considered deprecated by the new team maintaining it
at metabroadcast [1]. It is quite likely that this service will be
taken down before the BST->GMT transition takes place at the end of
October 2012.
However, there could be a bright side to it.
Quote:The new Atlas service and API [3] is substantially richer than the
current service. It does not suffer from the bi-annual BST changeover
gremlins that have plagued the upstream data (it uses ISO 8601 dates).
It can provide richer listings data and programme metadata, more
channels, and - more importantly - is actively developed and open
source.
My cable provider is converting it's "good" analogue stations to digital so it can gouge a pile of money out of it's customers. No benefit to us (unless you count the extra 20 crap stations I didn't want).
Now, of course, my dual tuner card will be near useless. The cable box only puts out one channel and the 2250 only has one cable input - so one tuner gets disabled and the other now needs a blaster cable (which I have to find).
I'm wondering if there's anyone out there that's already done a multi-card cable box set-up? What cards did you use? how did you get two (or more) cards in one PC and more than one blaster cable going?
I'm not sure if this is "me", or something in the R1 patches.
On occasion I've had NPVR lock up after watching a Video. The video ends, the directory shows up and then goes unresponsive. A quick ctrl+alt+del to the task manager shows NPVR unresponsive. A quick force close and relaunch and I'm back in business.
Attached is the relevant log file. You can see the video right at the end. An episode of "Once Upon a Time" is stopped, several events are recorded after the stop and then the lock up.
The only other thing I changed along with the R1 patches is the latest TV Listings Beta. It's fairly random, I've been trying to identify if it is the video file-type or a codec being used, but haven't found a pattern.
Interesting that it successfully stops playing and returns back to NPVR and then freezes.
I realize that directories in the recordings list aren't actually directories but it would be very helpful if there were a way to delete all episodes at once instead of doing one at a time.
