this is, what VMR9 and 7 output looks on my machine in NPVR. EVR works, but there's the well known analog black bars problem...
additionally (a small thing only, since i wouldn't normally use it windowed), the window always displays in 19:9, even though i configured it to 4:3.
it resets itself to 4:3 the moment i try to resize it.
For US ATSC, channels 2-6 (VHF-LO) are rarely used, and UHF channels above 51 (the 700mhz band) have been re-allocated for other uses. Also, Channel 37 is not used (it's reserved for SETI or something like that?). So there's little point in scanning those physical channels.
The attached .ini file can be placed in the NPVR\tuning\atsc directory, and then selected from the Frequencies drop down in the channel scan dialog. This reduces the number of scanned channels from 68 to 44.
As far as I recall the same file will work with GB-PVR as well.
had trouble with a show tonight, an episode of Stargate Universe (Stargate Universe_20100611_18001900.ts). Recorded on an HD-PVR, ran comskip, and tried to playback on my eGreat m34A. About 2/3 through the show the audio started to break up and the player quit back to the GB-PVR screen. I dropped my MVP servers to 1 (for logs) and then tried to manually skip forward to the end of the show. The attached logs show about 6 attempts; every time I tried to skip it would advance the audio but leave a static image for video, then crash to the GB-PVR UI. ANy help appreciated, I can also telnet to the m34a if that would help.
I changed the recording directory, restarted NPVR but did not reboot and it has not changed. Settings show it correctly as does config
<RecordingDirectory>G:\Recorded TV\</RecordingDirectory>
Originally, it was set on the same drive (G) but I wanted it in a separate folder. Can't reboot as I'm recording but should one be needed?
I have been working with it some more. How do you add favorite channels? I see the favorite hidden button and it does not do anything, neither does the edit one. Also, cntrl K does not do it either.
When trying either a Quick Record or scheduled recording on a show that has already started, I get this message:

Also, does Ctrl-R not start recording a show that you're watching live? Doesn't work for me but maybe it's too early for this function.
While I'm excited about the future of N-PVR, I'm finding it's just too incomplete for me to actually use just yet.
I've been practically holding my breath for what I thought would be a new release of GB-PVR that might resolve some of the troubles I've been having (even if by accident). The worst issue I have is that the recording service sometimes just quits working at the end of a recording, and never does anything else until I reboot the PC. N-PVR looks like an amazing start, but it doesn't really help me at all today.
Like many others I'm going to be using GB-PVR for awhile yet until N-PVR matures. I'm left wondering then if you have any final build of GB-PVR you might release in hopes that it might help?
It sees my PVR 150 card, and I was able to import the channels from GBPVR. But if I did not have something to import from, how do you add analog channels? I added one but it won't let me pick the channel details. I have a channel 55 already as my last channel on the list. I add another one and give it the number 65 and a name (Food) but when I enter it, on the list of channels in the Details list it shows it as CHANNEL 56. And it plays cable channel 56. Can I map it to play channel 65?
when I was struggling with the XP install issue, I did have a circle N in the tray, next to the nice G I am used to. I clicked on it and there was some functionality but I don't remember what. Now, with a clean install, I don't have it anymore. Is this an issue?
Also, how do you stop a recording in progress? I scheduled one and it started, then I was messing with the EPG and wanted to stop it. I can't figure out how. (thats why I was looking for the tray icon)
