I'm just getting back to NPVR after several months. I'm starting to tweak things in preparation for an eventual replacement of GBPVR.

In GB-PVR there was a config file setting to tweak the guide just a bit. I'd like to have it not display channel numbers (first column in the screen shot) since my xmlguide provides them as part of the channel name.

Is that setting still available? Thanks!

Hi,

Turning on nPVR after a couple of weeks absence from TV I'm finding the program guide is mostly blank, saying "no show details" for most channels and times, but not all.

It worked fine last time I tried it. Didn't change anything since. (It wasn't working before I applied the patches in the other post of mine from a few minutes ago, so I know the patches have nothing to do with this.)

I went to right-click > settings > channels > update EPG and it didn't fix anything.

Any suggestions how to fix?

Also, just curious, when i right-click and hit "channels" what is supposed to happen?

Thanks,
David

Hi, Gents

I have installed NPVR 1.5.33 and am having some audio sync and drop out problems. was trying to install the patches file. I downloaded it and clicked on "NExtPVR.exe" and the file starts to run, then terminates. Am I not supposed to run the file? Am I supposed to drag the contents of the zip file somewhere instead?

thanks,
David

Has anyone here tried Kylo? I was surprised when I got no hits when searching the forum.

I am really new to browsing the internet from my TV. In the first five minutes I realized I could see almost nothing from the sofa, even after cranking up windows font size to max. I searched around looking for a Firefox plugin that would help and ran into Kylo.

Installed it yesterday. It's not perfect but it's far better than stock Firefox. Nice 10 foot interface, nice screen alignment tool. Even got the wife to find and play Survivor in HD from the network website on her own. I was also able to comfortably read the website of my local newspaper from my sofa this morning.

I've had a PCH and GBPVR for about 18 months. Could never get it working with my Windows 2008 R2 Server and PCH using the network. I did manage to get it working my putting all the files on a hard drive local to the PCH.

Now the PCH is in its final position and connected via Cat5 structured cable to the NPVR server. Thought I'd give the network setup one last try. Finally discovered my problem was the N-PVR.html had my share as W2K8R2 and my media share was actually w2k8r2. Glad it is now fixed and hate capitilisation in *nix systems!

For others my system is Windows 2008 R2 server joined to a 2008 R2 AD domain. I use user and password access rather than Guest

The old folks currently use GBPVR and yours truly keep it updated. Unfortunately/fortunately (delete as appropriate) I am having to move further away so I'm not going to be around as much.

I'm therefore thinking of buying them a Hardware FreeView recorder. However in the past the ones I have seen have been somewhat disappointing - no series record etc.
Has anyone got any experience/recommendation of any decent units.

I have bought an ASUS eeeBOX 1501P which has included MCE remote.

Anyone who has the same and use it with GBPVR?

will the remote easily work with GBPVR or do I need to do some configuration somewhere?

I will have the ASUS in livingroom and my recording PC with GBPVR (WInXP today) is in another room - I would like to be able to use the ASUS and other PCs as a GBPVRclient - tried some year ago but never got the client to work - hopefully easier today - I will use Windows 7 on all PCs.

Is the client function working good for you?

Hi,
Im installing NPVR on a fresh install of WinXP & cant get it to scan channels.
The sequence is as below-
settings->devices->AF9015 BDA Filter
Country: australia
Region: Brisbane
CI/CAM: none (?Im assuming this is correct?)
scan
It starts scanning 177500khz (which is a channel) but nothing happens - the longest Ive left this for is a few minutes.

Logs are attached.

NB latest drivers used - Scanchannelsbda.exe works fine with the hardware.

thanks

Hi Sub

With PreferAC3 enabled, I'm getting both audio streams outputing (from the AC3 decoder and also AAC decoder). This is on LiveTV and Recorded TV.

Hi,

I'm just about to install NPVR and am wondering what the best choice is for an EPG these days.

Do all the TV stations transmit the TV guide yet? if so, whats the best way of using this with NPVR?

I have been using epgstream but they seem to be out of date and not answering emails.
I'm trying to avoid IceTV (good guide but $) but if they're the only choice I may have to go back to them.

Thanks
