I live in the university dormitory. In the beginning of term I left a cake in the fridge and the next day I discovered it had been stolen. Recently, the thieving has intensified. Only last week someone stole my food three times. Some other students have had it even worse. Pizza, fruits, desserts, yoghurt and eggs have vanished from our fridge. What’s more, a cettle and a frying pan have also been stolen from the kitchen. Some senior students said it was the same thing a year ago, and they had no idea whether it was someone from the school or an outsider. This gets everyone annoyed to the max and the atmosphere between students is tense. Can anyone suggest anything that could be done?

I'm using the mvpmc beta dongle with nPVR 1.5.33. The MVP is connected to an old 4:3 TV and so some of the picture is missing to the sides and most importantly the button list at the top of some screens.

It's been a while since I played with my MVP - can anyone remind me how I can set it to 4:3 or adjust the screensize somehow?

I created a recurring schedule within the interface and then exported it. Made some changes to the xml file (added new entries) added 1 to each new OID, cleared the recording schedule within the interface, then imported my modified xml file. The list does appear in the recurring recordings list, properly, but, the pending recordings list contains nothing. I cleared that recurring recording list. Created 3 new recurring recordings. Exported that list, cleared the schedule in the interface, then tried to import that unmodified xml file, and I get the same results. Recurring events appear in the recurring list, but nothing appears in the pending list. Also, if I double click on a recurring event, then try to update it, the only item that appears from that recurring event is the name I assigned to it, the station, start and stop times default to what appears to be the entry of a new manual recording.

Am I missing something when importing my xml file(s)?

Thanks!

A friend read where the HVR2250 can only record analog at a bitrate of 6000. I know I could record at 9000 in GBPVR but can't seem to beat 6000 in NVPR and don't see in the config where I can set this. I also recall someone asking about this but the search feature in this forum isn't something I would brag about but I did look for it.

Where in config.xml might I find this setting?

Hello.

I've run into an issue with my MVP device, I have stupidly set up with a prefered device/ip address. It's an wired unit rather than a wireless unit but I don't appear to be able to get into the setup menu.

Any suggestions please.

They don't seem to have the highest review ratings for thenerds.net so maybe keep that in mind if you order from them.

I've noticed that the TV Recordings' Whats New list is not getting updated as recordings begin or complete. The Ready view seems to include the recording once it is completed though.

I'm using a PCH, if that matters. Also, exiting and re-entering NPVR doesn't seem to get them in the Whats New list either. But at some point they do show up because my list now includes shows that I recorded last night which didn't show up in the list yesterday. Maybe it is just not including shows recorded today?

If so, how do I toggle to list from the default icon view? Need to know for the keyboard and the NMT remote, if you would please.

So, I have a crazy idea!! I only have one htpc and it cannot have any real down time, so I thought of an idea of how to do a fresh install using the same machine with minimum down time:

I do a fresh install onto an external usb HDD bits at a time. For example:
Day 1 - install OS
Day 2 - install software
Day 3 - install codecs
Day 4 to 30 - tweak and test nightly
Day 31 - when I get everything ready, I just take out the old OS drive and put in the new OS drive.

I make sure I map the secondary data disk to the same drive letter and we should be good to go?

Can anyone see a flaw in this?

This can also be used as a "trial machine" in that I have to disks with the same install but one of them I do crazy things with like update windows and check the stability. Similar to imaging and re-imaging but somewhat different.
