One thing that would really help out users of the HD-PVR would be to allow the channel changer to go first and have a configurable delay before recording starts. The HD-PVR doesn't deal well with inputs of varying resolution that occur when the STB was on a SD channel and then switches to an HD one. Comskip also has trouble.
Title pretty much sums it up - I have installed a new DCR-2650 on my system, everything is working in WMC, but when I go under Settings, and Devices in NPVR, only my old card shows up there. I have the newest version AND the cumulative patch installed, I tried turning off my firewall, but nothing.
I was having issues with EPG data(which has been working very well over a year), switched to Schedules Direct.. and that proved not to work either. Something clearly got wedged in my setup, not sure what. No EPG data at all. No change in hardware or software.
I did a NPVR uninstall, and reinstalled, applied patches.
Then I went to Device Setup, and Scanned my tuner(HDHR) for QAM channels. The scanner finds ALL the same channels it did before....no issues or differences are apparent here. But here is the major problem. After selecting OK in the Digital Channel Setup window to confirm all the channels that were found (and checked), nothing gets imported into the device channels dialogue. It is completely blank just as before the scan. The net is, none of my channels are known. If I can get the channels to import that were scanned, I suspect the EPG issues will go away too. Again, the Digital Scanner Setup finds all my channels, they are checked....but selecting "OK" on this step does nothing with the channels...they are gone.
Any idea of what could be wrong here? What I can try next?
My sister just got an ipad and I'm wondering if she can use NEWA to dnld video files to play later.
I don't get much exposure to Macs so if this possible could a walkthrough be provided?
I recently rebuilt windows on my box ran GBPVR great no performance issues at all.. Now that it is rebuilt I decided to upgrade to NextPVR. But the performance is horrible. When i change a channel it takes from 10 to 15 seconds to change on the fast side and slow is like 3 or 4 minutes. Then it might just say the tuner is begin used when nothing is begin recorded. I have a feeling it is the recording buffer so you can rewind. I never used it on GBPVR and disabled it. So basically I have 3 options, 1 fix the lag, 2 stop the buffer, or 3 install GBPVR again but I cant find the files the link is broken. Running a AMD 3600 X2 dual core with a gig of ram. No other issues with performance I can tell.
I'm trying to use gbpvr to record from a vhs. After scanning the forums, it seems like the answer is to set up a Capture Source as follows:
Recording Source: Analog Recording Plugin
Settings:
Capture Card Type: Hauppauge PVR500
Source: Composite, External Tuner
EPG Source: None
Then add a channel for the input and voila!
However, when I run pvrx2 and pick that channel, all I get is the sound. Any suggestions as to what I'm missing?
here's the thing, if I configure npvr to map to my schedules direct acct i don't get new(*) or any of the nifty icons(HDTV,16:9,dolby or CC). But if I scrape with mc2xml to my SD acct I do get that info in my guide. What am I missing?
My Guide opens with channel 2 which is analog and I'd like to start at 1002 which is digital. I think there used to be a way to start at a certain channel (but not live tv) in the guide.
Is there some way to default the guide to a specific channel group?
