Hi there - just purchased a Peak Dual DVB-T PCI card and installed it no problems. Installed drivers, no problems and ran the software which came with the card - no problems. I can record and view TV. Except that the software supplied is very basic.
So I downloaded NPVR as it was recommended to me Installs OK and picks up the the UK channels great and the EPG updates great.
However when I try to view Live TV or schedule a recording there is "cannot connect to recording device" error
Any ideas?
I have been using GBPVR 1.4.7 almost since the day that it was released and I have to say that it is excellent and does exactly what I need it to do when compared to the few other things that I have tried. Last night however I started having a problem (the first one that I can recall since the initial setup). Everytime I try to start the application in any fashion it immediately crashes and throughs up and error "PVRX2 has stopped working." Mind you I haven't made any changes to the computer and there were no updates to windows. It worked just find when I left for work earlier in the day but 10 hours later after no interaction from anyone it crashes.
I have already replaced the config with a new one and tried reinstalling the application. I am attaching a copy of the log files, hopefully someone can help me with this.
Appreciate any help with my problems. I am in the UK:-
1. How do you change the remote control type in NPVR. I can't find anything in the NPVR config as it was in GBPVR config. I had changed my remote type to Hauppauge, but am now stuck with the mouse or cursor keys on my full size keyboard.
2. Is there any way to stop the users scrolling back the channel guide, i.e. to the left.
3. Any plans to simplify how DVD rips are handled? My old Dvico Tvix6500A will play a DVD just by opening the DVD folder and has the ability to play the DVD menu's......can't seem to get anythung like this with NPVR.
Appreciate any help with my problems. I am in the UK:-
1. Even after updating the EPG I find that most channels "no show details". I'm using Freesat OTA epg. I have tried to get XML sourced EPG data form the likes of the XMLTV GUI, but none of the configs are able to pick up any data. This is the same for GBPVR & NPVR.

Been running GBPVR for a day or so but am experiencing a few problems.
Using 2off Hauppauge NOVA-HD-S2 for Astra 28.2e feed. Am in the UK.
It was working to begin with but no the EPG contains no data, and thats after a full PG update. I'm using basic functionality, no external XML feed. Just seems unreliable.
Some of my ripped DVD's (VOBs) are showing up as 4:3 instead of 16:9 (the originals were 16:9), also the menu's don't seems to work. I have a Dvico TviX6500A and the exact same ripped DVD's play perfectly including the menu's.
Is there anywhere on the forums that can give a new user basic how to do things info, ive searched thru many many threads but most users seem to be whiz kids talking another language, basic stuff like does the NPVR program need to be running to record a program from the EPG at night?
I tried GBPVR and it did not recognise my USB digital tuner stick, so I installed NPVR and I have had no trouble.
new wiki is looking practical, therefore in 7 days the pointers in top of left hand nav of old wiki where it says NPVR will now point to new wiki here:
I have got the newcs server running, the acamd connects and I can watch and record ONE show. NPVR allows me to record or watch a parallell show but I get nothing but black screen on that show.
I also have problems getting newcsgui 1.2 to run (System error code 193, %1 is not a valid win32 application) and I am wondering if there is a way to execute newcs in quiet mode?
Attaching the output from both newcs and acamd when recording one show (Ch: 283 - TVNZ ) and watching another (Ch: 256 - TVNZ).
NPVR logs are also attached.
Any ideas? Is there any other setting I need to do?
I have 2off Hauppauge NOVA-HD-S2 cards, both connected to the same source (Satellite).
I've set them both up and have gone through the channels I want enabled, but I just thought, rather than do the exact same again for the 2nd input (to keep them both in sync) I would have liked a COPY function that would save me the bother.......or perhaps a "use 1st EPG enabled list".
PS. I'm a newbie, but I presume that I can view one channel whilst recording another.......that was the point of me getting the 2 identical cards.
PPS. Have come from SageTV....too many issues for my liking......love GBPVR, really simple yet slick and very pro looking. Donation heading in soon.
I'm new to nPvr and never used gbPvr. I can use Manual Record to record a program once with no problem but if I set it to record weekly, daily or Mon - Fri nPvr pops up an unhandled exception dialog box when I click OK.
I'm leaving the Advanced Rule edit at the default None. Should I be doing something here?
I do not have a program schedule xml file, and the broadcast epg data is erratic, a couple channels seem to have the correct data but most are listed as no info available or listed with the wrong channel. Could that be a problem with Manual Record?
