In NPVR, I find my Twinhan DVB-S tuners are a little slow to get started. If I just hit Live TV, I get a reassuring little "...please wait..." dialogue box that tells me the system hasn't hung, it's just getting it's act together.
On the other hand, if I go to the guide first, choose a programme to watch, and then hit "Watch", that same little "...please wait..." dialogue box does not show and I don't get that same warm fuzzy feeling.
May I suggest that NPVR shows the same dialogue box from the TV Guide while waiting to start streaming live tv that it does when launched from the Live TV menu?
With GBPVR, I could simply type in a channel number to change channels. To do this in NPVR, I need to hit a number followed by the enter key. This makes changing channels from a remote a real pain.
How can I change channels with the number keypad on my remote without the need to hit the enter key?
I have been trying to get this tuner card working with GBPVR and I have found that if I use the KNC One TV Station settings plugged into the direct .ini I can tune all our local analog TV stations with the Tuning Assistant but I cannot get any audio. (we do not have digital broadcasts yet). Plugging yhe channels into the TV guide and then trying to watch Live TV results in a blank screen.
I attach the following information in a file and would appreciate any help thank you

It has been spotty, but I cannot get sound to work with any decoder. The eAAC setting always reverts to disabled. What am i missing? Currently, sound doesnt work with recordings or on live tv.
I have discovered that my cheap 19" guest TV cuts of the image from my NMT (even in the NMT config Menus.)
so I'd like to figure out how to compensate both in x and in y (+ and -). What values can you use in the <MVP> config section?
I just bought an NMT for the guest room which has a 19" TV that measures 16" by 10" (is the 16:10?)
I have major overscan issues, I only see a small portion of the top menu and the left and right is cut off.
Are there recommended settings I should be using for this?
the manual says the TV will display 1280X720 native resolution.
I'm using component video.
a couple of the top menu items aren't doing anything for me..
the manual recording button in recordings screen doesn't do anything when i click it..
and the 'convert' item in video library also...
will that be the replacement for transcode button?
oh and also the 'channels' button when right clicking on ui too..
recently I have had to do some reconfiguring and retuning of my channels. As the cable company moved them around. I have the channels showing up on the right number but the epg data is not showing up correctly. For instance I have TNT on channel 41 the content is correct in live TV and in the TV guide it shows TNT 41 (then no show details). But if you go to the end of the TV guid on like channel 130 there is TNT again with the correct show information. How do I get that to move down to the correct spot?
If I try to set a recording on the 130 item it fails or the channels frequency is wrong. doing it down on 41 is not right because the show lenght is all set in hours. Thanks for your replies.
Sub, I am trying out the npvr and have been setting up the device and completed a channel scan successfully. However I get no picture watching Live TV. I can also not play mpg files at all but avi files plays just fine. The logs gives me the message "Unable to find named decoder".

I guess I am missing some vital filter or decoder registration/installation but cannot understand what.
This is a continuation of the problems reported at the end of my DVD playback problem thread but I've started a new one as it has nothing to do with DVD... I cant play back any H264 1080i .ts recordings or live TV since upgrading to 1.5.21. In 1.5.19 live TV worked but .ts playback did not, now nothing does. Some further digging around I've managed to prove that it thinks it's an mpeg2 stream not H264 and is attempting to build a graph with the chosen mpeg2 decoder instead of the H264 one. I've tried changing the mpeg2 decoder to various ones that dont have H264 capability (e.g. the ATI decoder) and sure enough for live TV it attempts to build a graph the mpeg2 decoder and not whatever I have selected for H264 playback - sure enough it doesn't work.
I've tried in Graphedit to build a graph with NPVR ts reader -> mpeg2 demux and sure enough from what I can tell the output video pin claims to be mpeg2 so will only let me connect it to an mpeg2 decoder not an H264 one. It then obviously fails to play...
Can anyone (preferably watching UK HD 1080i content) confirm that they can or cannot play BBC HD either live or recorded .ts in 1.5.21? Also if someone wouldn't mind trying to play this in 1.5.21 and let me know what happens and what graph it builds (in the npvr logs, or connect graphedit to the remote graph as it plays and post a screen shot), I'd be most grateful. I dont see how this could be anything I've done, but you never know!
