First of all props to Sub for such a great program!!!
I've been using GBPVR with two PVR 150's for the last 6+ years. It is time switch to recording ATSC HD tv. I would like to have two tuners and based on my quick searches will most likely use the WinTV-HVR-1600 unless others have a better / cheaper tuner card to recommend. Since I'm in the early research stage is there any concern or limitations recording two HD channels at one time with two WinTV-HVR-1600's? Will I be able to use comskip still? What is a minimum CPU I should be using? any recomendation for a budget and energy efficient mobo and CPU? I would like to utilize a HTPC case to be placed with my other A/V equipment. Any input would be appreciated.
I've been playing with my setup as I've just got a plasma hd tv.
I've noticed that the mouse pointer is visible on playback. I can move it off screen but as soon as I stop the playback its visible again smack in the centre of the screen, it doesn't disappear after a few seconds.
There must be something I've missed but I haven't found it yet
According to to a nice lady called Susan at the Orange call centre, the whole of their UK mobile data network has gone pear-shaped. Service may resume later today but likely to be tomorrow before it's fixed properly.
Just thought I'd mention it on the slight chance it may be of interest to any UK Orange subscribers.
Yesterday I was using a HVR-1600 along with a Dvico FusionHDTV7 RT Gold w/NPVR 1.5.3. Both worked properly over QAM. However, I removed the Dvico and installed a HVR-2250 and ran NPVR. The HVR-2250 works fine over QAM but the HVR-1600 gets a completely black screen w/no sound and 0-byte sized recordings.
The 1600 appears in the device list and is enabled. I have uninstalled/reinstalled drivers and have updated NPVR to 2.0.3. I still get a black screen. Enclosed are the logs.
I have just rebuilt my system following a C drive failure. It's not been too bad but something is not quite right with my tuners/epg. I have three active tuners (DVB-T, DVB-S and PVR 150) plus a pinnacle that is disabled. I recorded three programs using all three tuners last night but cannot do the same tonight - 'No tuner available for this recording'. I can set two but not the third. Logs don't show anything so is there a way to increase debug logging so that I can see why it thinks it's not possible?
Been using NPVR almost since it came out, but only now noticed a missing feature that GB-PVR had (or at least, I can't seem to find it).
When recording a season of a show, and limiting it to only store the last so-many recordings, GB-PVR had an option on the menu of each recording to "Keep" it. That is, it would no longer count it toward the season recordings and would keep it and wouldn't delete it when later episodes got recorded.
Has this functionality gone elsewhere, is there a plugin that does something similar, or at the very least is there something I can do to muck around in the database if there's a particular recording that I don't want it to automatically delete when recording later episodes?
Do you get shown really useless Google ads on the forums? I seem to get shown ads about careers and 'earning degrees from home' and stuff like that. Pretty useless really. I guess this ultimately flows through to a very low click through rate, and crappy payouts from Google.
I thought it might just be showing me these because I was in New Zealand, but crappy ads here in the US aswell.
Right now I've been using NPVR with 2 PCH NMTs and content comes from HDHomerun with OTA HDTV antennas. I'm looking at expanding my content from the 12 free channels I get with Free-to-air satellight and thinking about using Dreambox 500S to accomplish this.
Has this been done before with NPVR (I saw some old threads with GBPVR and a decoder box plugin that I don't think is supported on NPVR). Shouldn't it be as easy as attaching the Dreambox to my network and using it as another source, updating channels using schedules direct and I'm good to go?
If anyone has any recommendation before I buy this Dreambox, I would appreciate.
