I installed GB-PVR and everything worked fine but now it seems to have stopped working. Specifically when i click on watch (any programme) in the tv guide it briefly shows a blank screen then returns to tv guide. All the channels seem to have been found during the scan although when i click the Map digital channels to epg channels i get a message saying "unable to start the BDA device you have configured". So confused, hope you can help as i really like this software when i had it working.
I am running Windows 7 x64 in Los Angeles. The over-the-air EPG seem mostly empty, so I'd like to use Schedules Direct. I've obtained mc2xml and successfully downloaded the EPG data, which seems to be in file xmltv.xml (there's also a mc2xml.dat). If I want to use the data in xmltv.xml with NPVR, where does the file go (or are there other things I need to do)?
I decided to give nPVR a go for the evening viewing with the wife instead of GBPVR, with the Wave skin - which is really nice! So it's the first time I've had it running for over 2 hours, but it threw an "out of memory" exception - although the channel was still showing in the background. I had a look in the task manager and the npvr.exe process was running at 570Mb which I thought was rather high. I copied the exception log text but not sure it's any use...
When there are last-minute changes to the program listings (which, in this part of the world, is frequent), my guide update registers both the original program times and the new program times. This has the effect of "doubling up" programs, both of which often record. Less frequently, it also has the effect of registering an incorrect program along with the more recent, correct one.
I was dealing with this by emptying the EPG before every update. However, this had the effect of losing my recurring recordings, as described here:
Is there any way to import Season Recordings from GBPVR into NPVR? Importing recordings_dump.xml excludes the season recordings from what I've seen.
Thanks,

In PVRX2 there was a way for me to decrease the buffer from 1 or 2 seconds or whatever it is down to less than 5milliseconds. I cant find that option In NPVR? Please tell me its here or that you will add it sub...?
I was installing XP for some other test reason, and while at it I tried to install NPVR on XP. It has been bothering me for some time that my Technotrend T1500 with HW-cam don't decrypt anymore (the native app works fine on both FTA and encrypted channels). Trying to scan for channels hangs NextPVR, and if I push Cancel or OK the attached exception occurs. Log saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
I recently bought a Gigabit switch to hook up my home PCs with, this includes my HTPC. So I have the switch connected to my router, which is connected to my DSL modem.
My problem is now that I've done this, I cannot get any ports opened up to a PC connected to the switch, so I can't get port 7647 opened to my HTPC for EWA. My router does static IP addresses for the PCs attached to it, and this includes the PCs connected via the switch.
I've attached a diagram of my network. My router is a Trendnet TEW-432BRP, and my switch is a Trendnet TEG-S80G.
If anyone has any ideas on what I can do, please let me know.
