I've been searching because I thought I had found this before but can't seem to find it again. Is there a configuration for the config.xml to hide file extensions in the video library and such?

I have had to replace my 5 yr old PC (Windows XP) and have upgraded to a new homebuilt machine running Windows 7.

I had used my Presto PVR dongle successfully on the previous machine and want to reinstall it on the new one.

I checked and Microsoft say Presto PVR is compatible with Windows 7 so I followed the instructions and loaded the driver and Presto TV software from my CD including the serial no. of the device. This seemed to work ok.

The instructions then say connect the USB dongle and it trigger a bit of software that configures the driver you installed earlier. However what happened was that Win7 detected new software; a message came up saying device installed correctly; then after a pause there was another message "your device could not be installed". On closer examination I found in Device Manager that the device had been detected ("USB TV") but that it was lacking a driver - i.e. Win 7 had for some reason not found the Presto driver installed from the CD.

I have searched the web to try to find a solution but cannot find anything to explain this and would be really grateful if anyone has any ideas. I have visited the Nusoft site and tried to apply various "patch" files listed there but every time it says that it cannot find the previous driver to repair.

The hardware seems to be a T601501 and the product version is 5.20.12.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Do these actually pick up the UK HD freeview channels OK with GBPVR, or is it like DVB-S2, where everyone has their own implementation of the standard?

My poor old Compro E700 has just died after a few years of faithful service- saw the Blackgold and thought it might be worth a punt, even if it is a bit pricy. Either that or a cheapo Pinnacle 3010ix!!!

Cheers

Hi,

I've set up NPVR on my Media Centre. Its really nice, reponsive and far easier to use than WMC.

Unfortunately, I have an issue that's stopping me from using LiveTV as frequently as I'd like. When watching channels, the audio noticably stutters - its most noticable during Ad breaks on Five on Freeview and on BBC1HD/ITV1HD on Freesat. The longer the LiveTV playback stays on a channel, the more frequent the audio stutters occur and the video begins to noticably stutter as well.

I've got Hauppauge Nova T-500 (Freeview/DVB-T) and Compro S350 (Freesat/DVB-S), processor is an AMD and graphics card is a Radeon HD3450.

I've attached the logs from my box. Please let me know if there's any more information that you need.

Thanks

I'm still wrestling with this problem, and I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Standard definition channels seem to work, but most of our channels are HD. Surprisingly, if I record an HD channel, it plays back with video.

[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

I've tried the ffdshow decoder, which worked well in GB-PVR, as well as the Cyberlink and ArcSoft decoders, all with no success.
The attached logs should indicate that I tuned to an SD channel, which displayed video, then I stopped and selected an HD channel.

Thanks.

I have 2 tuner cards. One has standard cable with 76 channels and the other is attached to a digital box and has 240 channels. The first 76 channels on the digital device is the same as the standard cable channels. After importing the channels for each device, I see the first 76 channels duplicated. When Importing channels for your devices, is that "telling" NPVR what channels each device can "see" or is it to simply populate the list of channels?

Curious problem here--I click on a recording and the screen turns black but the system seems to be working looking or trying to load the file to no avail. I exit back to the main screen and try again and this time it works. This happens when I first try to watch something after a reboot or a wake from sleep. All subsequent recordings can be viewed after the initial glitch.

Lately I'v had a few cases of scheduled recordings that has stopped early, last night a recording was supposed to start at 04:20 and record until 05:10. In the log I can see the recording start at 04:17 (11. jan 2011), which is correct since I have 3 min pre-padding. But the recording stops at 05:18, and since I have 8 min of post-padding it should have stopped at 05:28.

Hi, I am having trouble with the channel scan-- I am using silicondust HD HomeRun, hooked up to comcast digital cable-- I get channels just fine for live TV viewing using the silicondust app, QuickTV, but I cannot seem to get NPVR to recognize channels on the scan, when I select QAM on the device tab....NPVR sees that the tuner is connected, but wont find channels....any tips? I've tried default cable frequencies, default 70+, HRC, HRC 70+, etc.......??

I added NPVR to my firewall exceptions, and Nrecord.exe
I am running Vista

Thanks for any help!

It appears that the closed captions are not being retained during analog recordings (RCA inputs nor RF input). They are, however, retained during any QAM or ATSC recordings.

Thank you!
