My old system crashed so I had to reinstall. So I I installed gbpvr 1.4.7 and the episode tweaker on my other box. The delete button is active but not the update button - it is totally grayed out no matter what. I removed everything and did a fresh install with a new database with the same results. It is XP with service pack 3

Is there any way to scan for channels in the 240-300 range? I've been getting local channels in the clear in HD without a problem for at least 2 years. Before I had a digital tuner, I had the cable ran straight into the TV and had local channels in HD. I did not even see the analog ones through the TV (they were there as my analog tuner seen them).

All of a sudden this week I no longer get local channels in HD. I know it's not the tuner or my PC. I connected the coax straight into the TV and I still don't get HD like I used to. I believe that they are still broadcasting the local channels in the clear in HD but have moved them up to the 240-300 range. The below listings is from their site for basic cable (no stb).

Neither my TV, gbpvr, or npvr will let me manually select these channels. I have selected every single scan option available (even "all countries") and still I cannot seem to find any HD channels in the clear.

Anyone got any ideas or advice? I watch mostly local channels and want most of my recordings to be in HD. I have a hvr-1600 and would hate to have to go from 2 tuners (for local channels) down to 1 analog.

Thanks to great help I've received from folks on this board, I have nPVR working well now, with the program guide set up and the remote working.

Now, I'd like to see if I can get a slightly better picture. I'm using ffdshow as the codec with U.S. OTA broadcasts. When there is little motion in the scene the picture is absolutely beautiful: detailed, vivid, crisp. But when something moves quickly, the edges of the moving object or person get heavily pixelated, and if the whole scene is moving (during a fast pan, for example) the image sometimes breaks up and then re-stabilizes when the image is no longer moving so much.

Another issue is that on some TV channels, I get video noise right at the top border of the active video area, basically a line of flashing junk just a few pixels wide. These seems to vary; a problem on some stations not others. More likely to be a problem on a dark background.

The other decoders (besides FFDSHOW) that show up in my installation are nanocosmos, main concept, arcsoft, and intervideo nonCSS. None of these really work.

Are there other decoders that could be better? Where do I find them? Is there anything in my configuration other than the decoder that could be causing the image degradation related to motion. I do understand a bit about MPEG and I know that when things are moving the bit rate can go up -- so perhaps the issue not with the decoder but with bottlenecks elsewhere in the set up??? My faster graphics card is on order but hasn't come yet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
David

I changed this setting in config.xml to a different dongle file but it had no effect, dongle.bin is always used. Is this ignored or a bug?

I've worked on the TVListings3 skin for Slate. Attached is what I have so far. This is for the Slate Overlay version primarily, but it seems to look good for Two Tone as well. Also included is TVRecordings skin, but that does not look so good with Two Tone.

I'll still be working on it, and waiting for a fix to display show images. I also have not yet switched my recording duties to NPVR, and this is all done on a development system with no tuners, so let me know any problems or comments.

Just can't get any audio out of this device in NPVR.

Tried different he-aac decoders but nothing seems to work.

The TVCenter app that came with the 290e does produce audio.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Hello dear,

Acamd gives the message no interface defined!!

Please Help!!!

Alibert,

Thanks for the new version (3.1) of TVListings. The default fallback solution for tvshows where subtitle is missing is working fine.

Is there any chance on TVListings being ported to the Slate/Wave skin. Especially now since it looks like Hairy is slowing down on his onw development efforts.

Also, since you are not planning on doing any IMDB integration could themoviedb.org lookup be something to consider? I would really like an alternative to Amazon.

Thanks,

Minor issue but hopefully an easy one to fix.
- Setup a recurring manual recording with an Advanced Rule and save.
- Select the recording and then select Update
The Recording Type and Channel settings are lost. They are reset to the defaults.
