So far am impressed with NPVR (don't mind the name, don't mind that it's a beta and things are not 100% etc). is good work Sub - massive potential as it seems to be much 'lighter'.

After setting up, i can't get UK DVB-T to work and not sure where the BDA GBPVR equivalent folder is? I have updated Wintel Hill settings but not sure if they'll work with NPVR or where to put them?

Also, the menu animation seems a bit jerky? If this is expected, then not a problem but it was something I saw in GBPVR then PVRX2 after the PC had been up for a few days and a reboot would sort it (I could even gauge uptime of the PC depending upon the menu animation which was quite handy sometimes!!!). NPVR seems to have jerky menus from the off!

Also, my PVR150 isn't detected but have seen a thread about that somewhere.

My server currently does not have an optical drive so I can't test this easily.
Will the DVD menu item in NPVR extend to MVPMCX2 to play DVD's?
If not, is this technically feasible in the future? Additionally, It would be cool to be able to add a BluRay ROM to the server and watch BR.

Could it be? Is the industry is wising up that we don't need new HDMI standards every few months http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=18902 ?

I actually found this via mpcclub http://www.mpcclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24516 and its worth the link just for HiJack's joke

Quote:It reminds me of a joke really where the government in Denmark was looking for treasures underneath a year 1805 castle and found a telephone cable figuring they must have been the first having telephone lines. Sweden then started digging underneath all their castles from that era and they eventually found a network cable figuring they must have had Internet back then. Then came the Dutch folks with the news they found no telephone, no network nor any other cable underneath their castles and stated "We must have had wireless first"

I know that the last version of gbpvr inadvertently got out of the door with season recordings having "left side substring matching" (for want of a better phrase) and this seemingly was not as intended.

However, it turns out to be quite useful in most cases (for me) but a nuisance for others.
What is N-PVR's action supposed to be and is there any chance of some form of wildcard matching in the pipeline? (still not in a position to find out myself yet ;( )

Hi

Can someone take a glance at these logs. All I did was update the graphics driver and it broke. I tried reinstalling but no dice.

Thanx

I'm looking for a new build for a client PC for our bedroom. It's been a while since i've looked into MB's and such since I built my main machine in the living room somewhere around 5 years ago. What i'm looking for is a cheap solution that has onboard video good enought to play OTA 1080i broadcast here in the US smoothly. It'll be hooked up to a standard tv so a 'tv out' svideo port might be required unless theres another way to convert the video with adapters.

Once sub releases the official npvr i'll be upgrading to windows 7 on both the main and client pc's.
I'm going to start researching it myself but thought I would ask here in case others have looked into it more recently. Thanks.

Enclosed is an updated .ini file for norwegian Canal Digital users, with all the frequencies currently used and a few likely to be used in the future.

I am testing out an avermedia hybrid volar max USB, gb pvr doesn't find this tuner when searched in analog mode am I missing something?

digital mode it finds it.
I know the tuner works fine in analog mode as I can use it with honestech and home theater etc finding all the analog channels.
Any tricks or changes to get gbpvr to see it in analog mode or am I missing a setting in gbpvr because its a hybrid tuner?
thanks

I don't know if this has requested before, but if comskip is enabled, I think it would be nice if a user asked to skip into a commercial which results with with an immediate skip to the time past the commercial, that NPVR would jump directly to the commercial end point.

Suggestion: some guidance on decoders would help. After I used NPVR to get my channels, using XMLTV approach from GB-PVR, I only saw black screens. Couldn't tell if anything was working or not. I then tried a few "MPEG" choices for the MPEG slot. One, Ulead, gave an exception error and failed miserably. An ATI one gave me half a screen of TV, with the rest "smeared." Then, Cyberlnk gave me full picture!

But no sound. For AC3 I have an AC3 filter and that gave me sound as well So I now get TV picture and sound when using Live TV and TV Guide - Watch. Cool! Will do a test recording soon.

But when changing these settings, and avoiding all the others, I'm flying blind as I have no useful knowledge of the options...just trying, a, then b, then c, and so on. Don't know if I should even try for the other decoder settings, or just leave them alone. I don't know what they are for.

CHANNEL - can I change channels while on Live TV? When in Guide, it makes sense that the show/channel I click on shows up. But in Live TV it comes up with the last channel I used in TV Guide, and I don't see how to pick a different channel.

Also, is it possible to change the channel numbers? I tried to do that in the Bulk map, to change npvr's channel 1 to 7.1, and so on, the actual channel number (OTA), but it didn't take.

Getting there! Thanks! It seems slick when it works.
