I'm curious how this should work......I set 1 analog recording in NPVR and 1 in Media Center at the same time. Only the Media Center recording worked and I think it was because it's padding was a minute earlier than NPVR.
So, why would NPVR not record with the second available tuner at the same time MC was? This is obviously something I don't do but I was curious and gave it a try.
I am new to this so be kind
I bought a ATI TV WONDER 600 USB and the software that came with it does not install on my computer. I have a laptop with WIN XP Pro SP3
I was told that GB-PVR is the best I can find short of spending my hard earned and rapidly diminishing money on a different software. I installed the software but have some questions on configuration:
I want to watch live TV, in NEW YORK
1. I do not see anywhere support for my tuner, is there any other tuner in the list that is compatible?
2. I don't really know what EPG is and what do I need to choose in order to be able to watch of-the-air channels
Anybody?
Trying to install gbpvr 1.4.7 on a new system (Windows 7 x64) getting a 1603 error during the install (about the time it's registering the filters).
Found the error in the event log.
I've tried turning off uac, reinstalling the 2005 C++ runtimes, no joy.
Any other suggestions?.
TYhe machine has a copy of npvr on it as well, and i would use that but finding it's not able to use my hvr3000 dvb-s tuner (the dvb-t I think works - hard to tell as I have a nova t 500 in there as well.)

I use an application called TV Rename. It has an option to download thumbnails and episode details from The TV DB. it stores the details in nfo files (where the name matches the episode) in the format below (example "lie to me" episode 215.) the thumbnails are .dbn extension.

I know that WIz' Metadata grabber does collect data in the correct format, but there are so many other utilities that will pull xmbc compatible metadata. I think it would be cool if NPVR could make use of these.
When I open PVRX2 and start LiveTV the screen gets black for a second and then I'm in the main menu again. When I use the TuningAssistant I find all channels and everything is working there.
I got my EPG file with mc2xml which seems to be working. I can choose to record something but never watch it.
My card is Hauppauge WinTV PCI-FM.
I tried various configurations wherever I was unsure, but I always got this result.
Any idea what might cause this?
This will probably be yet another stupid question from me and I am sure that the answer is right under my nose. But, I currently have one PCH A-100 installed and one MVP on a Win7 box using GB-PVR v. 1.4.7. I would like to replace the MVP with an A-110 that I just purchased. The question that I have searched for an answer for is: How do I do it? Do I just rerun the installer or just edit the configuration file?
I apologize if this is elementary level stuff that is right under my nose, but my search fu is week please.
Can anyone tell me if there is a Hauppauge single hybrid tuner card with the same ATSC tuner sensitivity as the HVR-2250? I asked Hauppauge if any of the single tuner cards use the same chip as the HVR-2250 and they said no. I really want a better tuner in my upstairs PC but I don't want to spend the $ on another HVR-2250.
My wish list for a maximally useful skin.
- Clean and uncomplicated
- A TV Guide that maximises the number of channels and hours visible on the screen. The old blue skin was pretty good but if possible more channels would be better. The more channels you can see the fewer times you need to scroll back over the program guide.
- A Videos screen that maximises the number of items listed on the screen. This makes searching through long lists of movies and recordings more effective. Old blue skin was pretty good for this.
- Vertical scrolling Main Menu - like the old blue skin. The vertical scrolling menus allow you to see lots of menu items.
If anyone else is interested in a skin of this type or has similar wishlist items then please add comments. If someone is kind enough to develop a skin of this type then please let us know.
