First thanks to Martin who's work put me onto the M34A as a potential replacement for my MVP.
Bought and installed M34A as straight NMT (via usb wireless) and Shazam! it worked right out of the box. Now can view HD (from Torrent Episode Downloader) and previously ripped DVD's - v.happy with the M34A, thanks Martin.

EDIT - now that I am humbled by the fact that mvpmc2 was in fact working as advertised I will delete the content that so clearly demonstrates my limited brain power.
Using the direct share approach I only had to select the GB=PVR (first) link on the HTML page - as opposed to the second link (via Web Browser
--------------------------------
Now, besides the gain of HD --- I now have the Live TV that I had hoped for. Thanks Martin!
And that means total, unfailing success when using anything Martin touches!
Thanks again for letting me play here anyway,

In the Guide, I clicked the quick record button to set a program to record. Problem was, I noticed that I already had both tuners set to record at the same time, so I needed to cancel it. I couldn't.
1) I tried pressing the Record button again, to toggle the recording (An assumption that it might work like that. If it doesn't, it should, I reckon).
2) Hit enter and tried Update. I could not use any of the arrow keys to change the record options.
I am now fully converted to NPVR but I have run into a strange issue. I have one analog tuner and one ATSC tuner. Both use XMLTV listings. However, when mapping the channels, I am having a tough time keeping the mapping intact. I have done each channel at least 3 times, but whenever I come back, it is reset to something else.
Not predictable, an ATSC channel will reset to the analog channel XML file location and vice versa. It is driving me crazy.
The time on the forum has been creeping up over the last little while and I was waiting until the time change this weekend to see if it would get correct. It didn't in fact it looks like the the server didn't fall backward either. It is 20:01 here and the server is showing 21:15. I do have the vbulletin setting to change with DST.
Not sure if this is an EWA or NPVR problem but I thought I'd try here first.
Running npvr 1.5.33 on Win7 64bit. If I cancel an in progress recording from ewa, NRecord crashes. If I try streaming live TV from ewa and then stop it, NRecord crashes. Any ideas why?
If I open a file for playback there are some issues. 1st the TS files. They now open and play which is noticed and appreciated and an improvement on GBPVR which didn't know how to handle my more difficult TS files.
1) 2.2 GB TS file, MPEG2 50i, MP2 audio, subtitle track. NPVR opens and plays the file but trying to skip ahead causes it to freeze and stop playing. The numbers stop going round. NPVR doesn't crash, I can Esc to go back. Also, the audio is really badly out of sync by about a second.
2) 6.9 GB TS file, seems to be exactly the same format as above with MPEG2 video, MP2 audio, subtitle track. Try to open the file and there is a lot of HDD activity for 1 or 2 mins and then nothing happens. The screen stays black and the numbers don't go round. No crash.
3) 320 MB MKV file. MPEG2 50i, MP2 audio, subtitles. Plays after installing Haali. I can skip forward and back etc, but there is no audio. I've no idea what's up. MP2 works in file No.1 so should work here.
Just wondering if anyone could share what processes you are using to process recorded shows and to remove commercials using PostProcessing.bat on a Windows 7 x64 system.
I have a working GBPVR installation working with a Haupage Nova II viewing FreeSat -- and have just discovered NPVR. It looks very interesting :-)
1. Am I correct in assuming that NPVR is a replacement for GBPVR??
2. Will NPVR work with FreeSAT in the UK??
3. Can I still use the same source of EPG data that I used under GBPVR??
4. Can I install NPVR on the same box as GBPVR and switch back and forth for testing??
and, Is there anything to watch out for if I do this??
I am looking to migrate to NPVR from gbpvr in the near future and I have an issue with trying to play some MPG video files from NPVR. The file format is recorded MPG2 from DVB-T using the cyberlink mpg decoder.
The codec filter setup is ok as far as I can tell (i have checked the default settings in graph studio for gbpvr and default direct show) and gbpvr plays the file fine.
By looking in the logs, I suspect there is a bug in the calculation of the progress timeline at the top of the screen and the filter is returning some values for file length that NPVR was not expecting.
