I use TVxB to generate my XML EPG, and it uses wget to download html files which it then parses and mines for XML EPG schedules.
After many hours I have TVxB setup how I how I like it, but I'm trying to suppress Chinese characters, for which one channel does not comma delimit the Chinese Characters vs English ones in the schedule web-pages, nor does it supply html tags e.g. <br> between Chinese vs English text, so there's no way I have found to parse them out.
At present I use TVXB functions rclip and lclip (right and left clip) and just copy and past lots of chinese characters into the TVXB.ini, in a vain effort to keep them popping up. Of course there are literally thousands of Chinese Characters so it's a hard slog keeping up.
Is there some switch in wget which would ONLY download English text and save me from continually adding to the growing rclip and lclip terms?
I don't know if it is an illegal character in the EPG XML or a parsing error but I get the following error box with this in the log when mapping DVB-T channels to the EPG. Manually removing the & - ampersand character fixes it.

I can't get Live TV in the GB-PVR window. When I click on it, it's not executable. Running Win XP 32-bit, SP3. Using ATI TV Wonder 600 USB Tuner. I went into the config and set Capture Sources Client/Server for Streaming. Under Channels, it doesn't show any.
I just building up a new system which should also run GBPVR (GBPVR 1.4.7). I have a Hauppauge HVR3300 installed on Win7 64 bit installed. I just realized that this card seems not to be supported. Trying to configure the recording source GBPVR shows me that he detected the HVR1800 MCE which I was trying. However, LiveTV does not show any picture and also the TV Guide does not even open up.
Any ideas whether I could get it work with the HVR3300 and whether my TVGuide problem could be related to that?

I recently started using the Glow WS theme (still with GBPVR) on my new 46" Sony and it's a treat for the eyes.
When I call the 'Find More' pop up from TVlistings it drops back to the main menu. I've done a little digging but can't determine the cause. My Rox theme (CS4 SD) works fine. Not a priority issue, but thought someone else (smarter than me) may be able to confirm and debug the problem. I could provide logs if wanted.
I'm preparing for the future by swapping out my existing MediaMVP and swapping in an EGreat NMT, but having problems getting GBPVR running on it. I've followed the Install Guide for Dummies, but perhaps don't yet qualify for that exalted status... Here's what I've done:
1. On the PC, I already have a working installation of GBPVR (version 1.4.7) and an mvpmc share, on Drive F, which my MVP has been using, so I know the permissions etc are OK. My PC has no local firewall on it. It auto-starts one NMT server.
2. on the EGreat, I've tested connectivity, & can see the PC and map shares on it. There's a share mapped to the mvpmc share on the PC. I've set the EGreat output format to 720P. My TV can support 1080 but I figured I'd match it with the 720 that mvpmcx2 will use for its menus.
3. run NMTInstall. I pointed that to my existing mvpmc share, on Drive F. I also supplied the MAC address of my NMT. I only installed the mvpmcx2 and NMT Setup sections, since I have an existing GB-PVR installation (1.4.7) that's working the way I like. It runs without error, & everything in the Details looks fine.
4. on the EGreat, I navigate to the mvpmc share and try to run GBPVR.html. I see the 3 choices. I try Open GBPVR via Network Browser. I get a message saying "Request cannot be processed".
Not sure where to go from here or how best to troubleshoot.
I've obtained and run NMTChecker, which gives the following output:

This morning I noticed my guide listings were empty. I had just run an epg update 2 days ago but ran one again and while mc2xml is updating, the guide is not. I then emptied the EPG and ran the update again, with no luck.
Where NPVR use to take a little bit to update the listings, it does so much faster and way before mc2xml completes it's guide update.
Other than to remove the devices and start over, what options do I have? I'd rather not do this as I haven't been able to get all my channels when I scan and have been using the same database since .23 which was the last time the scans picked up all my channels.
One more thing that I think shouldn't have anything to do with this problem is I updated HDHR firmware last night.

G'day All,
(Are OT posts allowed? If not please delete this.)
I presume some of you have archived your recording from .ts to DVD. I'm having a problem with DVDflick and other apps in that they either won't recognise the file or gets the aspect wrong even though I select 16:9, etc, etc.
Has anyone had any luck converting .ts directly to DVD? If so, how and what app?
(1) Leaving the status page on screen when NPVR is recording seems to have the effect of causing something like a hang. the programmes which were started are recorded, but NPVR does not know that they have finished, subsequent recordings are missed,and the service will not exit normally. After a full restart the recordings are noted as having been missed ("recording service not running") even some which are actually there. This is obviously easy to avoid, but is it expected behaviour?? Should I post logs?
(2) What are the conflict limits in NPVR. I have a NovaDB-DBT dual card, and I am in the UK. I have had four recordings running simultaenously on one of the tuners. How does it do this????? Some kind of magic????
and it's a treat for the eyes.
