I tried NPVR and it looks great! Channel changing is very slow, like over a minute. The video and sound stops, then I hear the sound of the new channel and them a minute or so later I the new video starts. Sometimes the sound and video are not in sync and sometimes the video seems to catch up. I am using an analog tuners, Saber DA-1N1-E (ViXS PureTV). Any suggestions?
I briefly installed 1.5.21 NPVR. I saw nothing for configuration or settings, and without any documentation I found it to be a waste of time to fiddle with it.
Sorry - I hoped it would work better, but it didn't seem to work hardly at all.
Uninstalled it 5 or 10 minutes after I installed it. With no options to control it wasn't even marginally useful. Not an indictment of the beta version, just a comment re functionality, or lack thereof.
I currently have a HVR-2250 dual tuner connected to my cable line, and a pair of HVR-1600 tuners connected to an outdoor antenna.
In GBPVR I could assign a single EPG channel to all of the tuners. For example, I could assign "KGW Channel 8" to all four tuners, and GBPVR would select the first available tuner when recording. It might record channel 8 from my cable connection if nothing else was being recorded, or it might record channel 8 from my antenna if the HVR-2250 tuners were recording other shows.
In NPVR I can't figure out how to accomplish the same thing. My channels from my HVR-1600 gets assigned it's own channel in the EPG listing, instead of sharing an existing channel.
I was having an issue with my SD EPG not updating. After reading a couple posts that indicated making a change to the tuner fixed it, I tried that. No luck. Tried deleting and replacing the tuner in config and now I can't get live tv either. I used the tuning assistant and the card tunes fine. Anyone have any ideas? what information can I post to assist in resolution. As a side note, I loaded NPVR 1.5.21 and it doesn't see my tuners (device setup greyed out). I'll follow up on that one in the right forum, but thought it may help with some insite. This system has been functional through many releases and several years. WinXP Pro SP3, PVR 250/FM and PVR350. Originally just the PVR350.

Introduction from the wiki....
This is a ‘Blue’ skin with an appealing ‘Retro’ theme which is reflected in the backgrounds, images, icons, fonts and colours used. This results in a ’Visibility Enhanced’ skin which is effective over a wide range of devices from large widescreen TVs to 14” 4x3 portables, whether directly attached to a PC or served by NMT/MVP extenders.
Although it has matured over the years into a smooth and elegant skin suitable for all users, it still meets the original design objective which was that tired old eyes could clearly see the 29” TV on the other side of the room and Mrs Jaggy could read the Main Menu and Recordings Menu on her 14” TV.

Hi folks
I have a new PC. Core I5 with hauppauge 2200.
This is connected to an a100 popcorn hour
When I run NPVR on the popcorn it looks great. I goto the TV guide and choose a channel.
The channel comes up, but it has a problem at about 20 seconds in. It then replays the same 20 seconds over.
Here are the logs
Thanks in Advance

I'm running GBPVR 1.4.7 with a playback setting VMR 9 Full screen. after the program is ideal for a while the screen goes Black and I have exit and re-enter the program so it will work.
when I was using vmr9 custom I didn't have that problem. VMR9 full screen work better with HDTV playback.
Just trying the NPVR 1.5.21 for the first time, and have a few questions/comments...
1. Is there some way to set the default EPG source when scanning a device? Right now NPVR defaults to the channel EPG, so I have to go in and change every channel one by one to XMLTV.
2. Right clicking a channel brings up the "Details" option, but it doesn't actually open the Details screen. I still have to click the Details button.
3. I can't find a way to set a recording manually? For example, if I want to record channel 2 from 10:15am to 10:18am for testing.
4. Can I still use my old Postprocessing.bat and UpdateEPG.bat batch files from GBPVR? I've put a lot of time into my EPG and show processing procedures that rely on these two batch files.
5. Is there a way to change the number of channels displayed on the TV Guide?
I have had this problem since I started using GB-PVR over a year ago. I posted something once, but didn't follow up until now, because I was hoping to detect a pattern to it, but I have failed to do so.
When I set a recurring recording, the show records a majority of the time. Sometimes, however, it simply vanishes from the pending list; either a single occurrence of the program will appear in the list as though they are not set to record, or all the occurrences of that program will do so. Sometimes, after the next guide update, they reappear as normal. For a long time, I blamed the dodgy Australian networks for changing the name of the program by adding a space to the end (they often make more obvious changes--a wildcard would be nice), but then I noticed that even the web-based programs in the Schedules Direct listings have this problem.
I have hit a wall with this. Any ideas to get me thinking again would be most welcome.
