I really miss the Text-tv function since I scrapped the last genuine tv-set and went for just monitor. Is it a terrible lot of work to inplement digital text-tv? (I'm not mentioning the teletext subtitles this time )
I scanned my ATSC channels (free OTA channels) and it found some. I then told config to update the EPG, and then tried watching a show. I select a channel, but there is never audio or video. What am I doing wrong?
I'm new on NPVR community, I own a Hauppauge HD PVR and I have the newest drivers installed and I heard good things about NPVR and decided to try it. It is said to support HD PVR and it seems to support, I installed NPVR and it detected the HD PVR device, I configured it but I cannot start the Live TV preview, it says that it is unable to communicate with the device. Pretty weird, because it is connected and powered on, and it works on Beyond TV and Total Media Extreme.
I searched lots of places trying to find the answer including NPVR documentation but I could not find any details about it. If someone could give me a tip of what this problem might be... :confused:
Hi Sub,
I've installed the Nikon Codec to view the raw file. I can view without any problem using the windows picture viewer. I had edited the npvr config.xml to enable the .nef extension. However, when I click on the .nef file, nothing appear. Attached here is the log file. Thank you.
My HTPC has a Compact flash as its OS disk on a CF to SATA adapter to keep noise and power draw down and I'm too tight to buy an SSD for the HTPC. 95% of the time the CF works great, but every now and then the limited write speed stalls the system which is not good. I looked into this and found out about the Enhanced Write Filter. It basically diverts all writes to a disk to a ram cache instead. Changes can be forgotten or committed to disk at any time by the user. Googling some more I found out it can be installed on a standard XP system, but it can be a pain (or time consuming) to set up so I thought I'd post here first to see if anyone has used it or if anyone can see any potential problems using it on a htpc with npvr.
I have already got my npvr recordings and settings on my proper hard disk (2TB WD ecogreen) with all the recordings, and I guess I could move the install directory to the HD too if I needed to.
So, Anyone tried it? anyone still using it?, anyone even heard of it???

P.S. I know I could install XP on the HDD, but I like to keep the OS and data disks separate so that upgrades, backups, OS changes are a little less painful/dangerous.
