After my mistake by not setting any decoders I go my DVB-S part to work. However, the DVB-T side does not work. I do not get any picture or sound and a record results in a 0 byte file. I am using the HVR-4400 card and the channel scan works fine with both -S and -T.
I am not getting any channels show up when I scan with any of the devices available to choose from. I'm wondering if its because qam device is showing up as a dvb-c type?
I previously had a couple of HDPVR issues with the older gbpvr software. When I changed this to true, it seemed to solve them. Now I seem to be having a few similar issues with npvr.
Also, I haven't been able to get the manual record option to work.
So I don't have to install them all, which specific .NET versions would I need to install on a fresh Win XP sp3 machine?
Also, I noticed that when I installed NPVR on a fresh WinXPsp3 box, with only the latest VS2008 C++ redist files installed (as instructed), the VIDEOS and MUSIC screens showed no items. Only after I also installed the old VS2005 C++ redist files did items appear.
sub, you'll be aware of course of the silly situation we have here in the UK where some of our channels share (almost) the same tuning information but broadcast at different times of day, eg CBBC/CBeebies during the day, and BBC Three/BBC Four in the evenings.
In GBPVR if you tuned into BBC Three during the day, then although the popup and EPG data would be correct, you would actually see the picture/sound for CBBC. NPVR seems cleverer now (?), so it knows not to do this, and you just get a black screen.
Can I suggest you implement a function that allows us to provide details of when these channels are off air, and have NPBR display a custom image on screen if we happen to tune in during that time. That way we could replicate STB functionality that usually displays an MHEG overlay telling you the channel is off air.
Perhaps a simple file containing tab-delimited entries such as:
Code:
CBBC 19:00 05:30 C:\OffAirMedia\CBBC.jpg
CBeebies 19:00 05:30 C:\OffAirMedia\CBeebies.jpg
BBC Three 05:30 19:00 C:\OffAirMedia\BBC Three.jpg
BBC Four 05:30 19:00 C:\OffAirMedia\BBC Four.jpg
Just interested in users thoughts on a good DVB-C tuner (internal) + smart-card reader combo.
It's for a NDS/Videoguard2 encrypted system, I'm a paying subscriber & will continue to be one.
I merely want to integrate my Cable STB's functionality into my HTPC/PVR.
And for those whom are concerned, doing this is not illegal in Australia.*
Although it may be soon thanks to the FTA our Ex PM established with the US!
I intend to use:
OSCAM + SASC-NG + NewCamd + Myth** + TVHeadend + XBMC.
Not all readers are created equal, e.g. some allow for voltage adjustment so the smart-card can be "OC'd".
I don't envisage needing this so any Phoenix USB or PC/SC based reader, so long as it's mountable internally & externally will do.
I've found some that are mountable in a 3.5" bay, & some that have flash media read abilities included!
This seems like the way to go, so long as the flash media reader isn't crappier than the one in my case.***
Does the reader just need to be ISO-7816 compatible, or is that too simplistic?
What else do I need to look out for other than Linux PC/SC driver to be sure it'll work?
It may turn-out that there's no spare 3.5" bays & the media reader built-in is not removable.
Hence why it's imperative that such a smart-card reader can also be mounted externally.
If you've had success with a PC/SC or Pheonix USB based reader, and it meets my requirements, please let me know!
(Smargo's ruled out because it's an external only reader)
On to the actual DVB-C tuner, I'm pretty much settled on 3-4 models: [links to cards ytb inserted]
It really comes down which retailer in Europe offers decent price/support & is happy to ship to Oz.
Does anyone know of any good stores? Except for DVBshop, I found their pre-sales to be "lacking".
Thank-you!
*I believe it's not illegal or against the provider's TOS in a few Euro countries too.
**I might end-up using VDR instead....
In which case SASC-NG/NewCamd would be scratched, & VDR-SC would be used.
***Not decided on a final case, and I won't be before I buy the tuner and card reader.
I currently have the following TV receivers/tuners:
Hauppauge WINTV-HVR 950Q and Hauppauge WINTV HVR 1950
Both of these USB receiver/tuners work wonderful (and at the same time) with Microsoft Media Center but I would like to try a different software that allows more updates and options.
I've looked all over this site for a definite answer to my question...could anyone please help me by letting me know if I can use these 2 tuners at the same time with THIS software?
Using Winxp Pro, Hauppauge HVR3300 DVB-S, GB-PVR 1.4.7, with Multi record enabled.
Have tuned all channels on Optus D1 and watched them.
I then tested the multi record and was able to record TV1 and TV2 concurrently OK. Then tried to watch TV6 or TV7 (on same transponder). Received error message, "all tuners in use.." or words to that effect.
The interesting thing is I tested this scenario last week on a different PC using the Hauppauge Nova DVB-T 500 dual tuner. I disabled one tuner (removed all channels) to ensure it was recording or watching one tuner.
I will now try the DVB-T side of the HVR3300 this afternoon.
By the way I followed the wiki instructions on how to add unsupported tuner cards to get the 3300 card to be recognised.
