I have been using GBPVR for a while and want to upgrade to NPVR. I have a Hauppauge PVR150 and an ATI TV Wonder 650 that have both been working in GBPVR. When I setup both tuners in NPVR, the PVR150 works perfectly, but the ATI 650 throws an error stating, "Unable to Communicate with the Recording Service" or "Unable to find the Capture Device". I have searched the forums for a similar problem, and have tried the patches without success. I have attached my logs for when I try to use the ATI 650 tuner as well as the results of FilterCheck.
I have Gigabyte GT-P8000 TV card, and I want to use its S-Video input.
I install NPVR 1.5.28 and also did what written in this thread (post number 3) in order to get my analog tuner detected.
In "Settings" -> "Deviecs" tab -> My analog tuner -> "Device setup", I tried to add a channel for the S-Video input.
As input source I have two option for SVideo (SVideo and SVideo2).
For country I can choose real country, or some other options (such as "Analog Tuner", "Svideo", etc.)
If I choose for country not a real country, I get Unhandled Exception when I click "OK".
If I choose a real country, the channel added.
No matter if what input source I choose (SVideo or SVideo2), and I what Turing I choose (Cable or Antenna), I still can't watch tv - Choosing Live TV from the menu writes on the screen "Please wait" for a moment and nothing happens...
I've played around with my channel mappings and merged a few stations and 2 of my pending recordings need to be changed. Problem is, I can't delete them from within NPVR as it crashes when I try.
Which file or files is it I have to modify to make the changes manually? I tried recording.backup but the changes don't seem to make a difference.

Starting to build up my system, have the PCTV dual sat pro, the IR remote that it comes with can it be made to work with 3rd party software?
If not what is the best remote for the job, and do I need to add a IR receiver, or will the one on the PCTV card work.
Started using PCTV and GBPVR after telling BT Vision to get lost after their box kept crashing.
Any help will be welcome.
:confused:
All of the QAM channels I have mapped are showing up twice in the EPG. Is there a way to consolidate them so that the channel appears once as it does in GBPVR?
If not, I imagine it is better to disable the analog channels that I have mapped to QAM as well. The quality is much better from what I can determine.
Whether I set the capture MUX to ts-mux or ms-dvr the file is captured and saved as a .ts file.
I set it to convert to mpeg-2 after capture, but no converted file is generated.
With the captured .ts files I can play them in PVRX2 and in VLC but any attempt to load them into NeroVision9, or AVS4 results in the video track being loaded but the audio track is not recognised, a similar problem exists with DivX player and DivX converter and from their support staff I have now established that the problem is with the audio codec being used to capture the audio to the .ts file.
gb-pvr is using the AAC audio codec, while they (and presumably the other programs which are giving me problems) only support AC3 or MP3.
Is it possible to change the setup for gb-pvr to make it use one of these codecs for capture?
In the last 3 or 4 days I started getting a 30sec delay on some NPVR functions
I undid any recent changes I could think of, removed System and Searchlite plugins but nothing improved so I resorted to a complete uninstall and reinstall of NPVR...
The issue did not go away, the clip from NPVR.log below was after a fresh start of NPVR and then open the Recordings view there was a 30 sec delay in opening Recordings

Can anyone advise where the error is originating?

Attached are the new frequencies for this transmitter after it completed the final phase of its digital switch-over today. I've confirmed these after retuning my GBPVR box (still not using NPVR in anger ).
I've only included details for the five active DVB-T muxes. That site seems to list seven though. I'm aware of one being used for our DVB-T2 HD channels (that no PC hardware exists for yet), but don't know what the other one is for?
Edit: actually, if you wanted the DVB-T2 mux included, it would be C57, 762000.
