Hi there.

Noticed NPVR will auto adjust the recording time to 5 min earlier when I go update the scheduled task, why is that so ?

For example :
I set a manual recording from 9.45am to 10.15am.
Then later I go update it for whatever reason(maybe change filename), I noticed the recording time will become 9.40am to 10.10am.
Is it supposed to be in this way?

I'm worried I might miss a bit of recording if I didn't pay attention to adjusted timing.

Thank you !

I'm preparing to do a fresh windows (re-)install, and I'm wondering what is the best way to transfer the configuration/channel mappings/recordings database to my fresh NPVR install. I'm currently running NPVR 2.2.6, so the NPVR version won't change. I'm not changing any hardware either.

Here are the possibilities I've considered:
- Install NPVR on the new system, then copy and paste the entire data directory from C:\Users\Public\NPVR from my old install.
- Install NPVR on the new system, and copy over only certain files from my old data directory (npvr.db3, config.xml, others I wouldn't think of...)
- Something else?

Thanks for your advice!

Hey,

Does anyone know of an ATSC tuner for OTA in the U.S. that is good at picking up signal? My LG TV, and even my puny $50 battery-powered TV picks up about 20 channels from my roof antenna with high signal strength, but both my HVR-1600 and HVR-850 pick up just 4! Quite frustrating and makes me wonder if Hauppauge is cutting corners on it's components, which would be sad.

Has anyone had luck with any others?

Would require usb tuners thou...

I have been troubled by a nasty persistent digital noise on my TV when I stop viewing a recording with the Back button.

The TV is connected by HDMI.

However, I discovered that if I Pause or Stop playback before pressing Back, there is no noise.

Being too lazy to press two buttons to exit playback, would it be possible to have the Back button do whatever it is that Pause/Stop does to the audio?

Just read about this over at http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/ceton...-hands-on/

:eek:

SIX tuners.
Free EPG data.
2TB internal drive.
Built-in BlueRay player.
Online streaming.
Ethernet and MOCA.
Supports extenders.
No fiddling about with decoders, firewalls, etc.

I wonder just how insane the price will be? If priced properly this could put an end to TiVo's "bill you for life" business model.

I am building a new HTPC going to digital NPVR and I have bought 2 DVB-C PCI cards

I have 2 old Hauppauge PVR 150 PCI cards I also would like to use.

but after a quick look at new motherboards I did not find anyone with more than 2 PCI slots

anyone who knows how to get more PCI slots?

Just brought a Samsung LED TV and spent 4 days trying to get rid of the the contrast flicker when going from dark to light scenes
Turned out to be I had ticked pulldown detection in ati settings on the PC

thought id mention it in case some else hates their Samsung tv as much as I did till i found it
now i think its not bad apart from the coulours been a bit in your face (a bit more tweaking yet)

Hi Everyone,

Is anyone else having an issue with TVListings continually reverting to the standard 'default' guide each time they go into the settings?

When i go into listings and check on the TVListings addin - any guides i had defined are now gone, and the program then uses 'default'. I recreate another 1-2 guides, assign the various channels to each that i want and save the settings. i can go back into the settings immediately after and the guides are still listed.

however if for some reason i go back a day or two later - the guides have all disappeared again.

Is there a particular log that i could check and see if i can find out why this is happening?

I'm looking at my NPVR plug in screen and I have no way to tell what version of a plug in is installed.

Could a column be added for that?
