I am switching from analog cable to Verizon FIOS. Since all the channels will change I am cancelling all the pending scheduled recordings (one-shots and recurring). Going through the list I find that there are a lot of obsolete recording requests. Some are for programs that are no longer in production. Others are due to programs that have changed which day they appear.
It seems to me that a part of regular data base housekeeping (not just when your channel lineups are about to change), it is probably a good idea to clear out the list of scheduled recordings and re-enter new recording schedules. This would get rid of a bunch of entries that are just dead wood and never will cause a program to be recorded.
Having a way to clear out the pending recordings with a single entry would make this a lot easier.
Any idea why the pie graph always reads 0.0Gb? It hasn't worked right since I re-installed windows and gbpvr a year or more ago.
Could be caused by something I removed from windows during the install process. I used Nlite to strip windows down, and think I missed something to do with USB since no usb storage device works.
I've recently added a HD-PVR to my system, and have observed the following issue. When I go to a show in either Episode Search or TV Guide and attempt to set up a recurring recording (e.g. any time slot - any day, or this time slot - any day) I get a red Recording Failed message. However, on the same show if I select once - this day the recording is scheduled. I'm attaching logs, this happened today at around 19:07. I suppose there could be some conflicts, but at least one show could be recorded so I"m surprised that when I try to set up a recurring record the whole thing fails.
One of my wife's soap operas (Corazon Salvaje) got bumped from its 9pm slot to 12am due to low ratings. My issue now is that the guide is still showing it at the 9pm slot.
I use zap2xml to download my guide data. The weird thing is that at their website the new time slot is displaying correctly.
The show is listed at 12am! So I deleted xmltv.xml, deleted the cache folder and updated my EPG once again but the show is still listed at 9pm. So i'm out of ideas:confused:
This problem has been a bit of a nuisance. Sometimes it takes three (and always three) attempts to play a recording.
On the first attempt, we get a blank screen
On the second attempt, the OSD displays with the show details
On the third attempt, the recording plays.
When a recording has this problem, it usually will not disappear from the recordings list when deleted until PVR is exited (but the file has in fact been deleted).

I suspect the above error message is a clue. It appears twice in the PVX2.native.exe.log, but there should be no reason why the file is in use and changing size. As you can see from the file name and time stamps, the recording was nearly 24 hours old.
Is the database corrupt? If so, how can it be rebuilt without losing details of the existing recordings library?
The new Spotify client that just have been released have a couple of really nice features.
First, you can import all your local music files to it's library and play them from Spotify. (Wich means that I can uninstall winamp from my computer at work... )
Second, it has a facebook link so you can share and see what your friends listens to. If this is a good feature can be debated.
If the API is updated reflecting this change the MusicSpot can be made even more useful!
I've recently installed a Powercolor HD3650 video card (my old nVidia 7600GS died) and the fan is really loud - far and away the loudest fan in the box. The nVidia was passively cooled so was perfect.
I've tried numerous methods to slow the fan down in software using Rivatuner, Speedfan etc, but nothing has been successful.
On the other hand, the picture quality of the HD3650 is superb, and worked without any significant adjustments to the default settings - basically plug and play.
My setup is SD only, I feed a CRT tv from the TV-out on the video card. So I need an analog output, hence the HD3650 (AGP, TV-out both required).
Does anyone know of other options that I might consider?
The video card needs to be:
-AGP
-Analog out (via S-video TV-out or otherwise)
-Silent!! (or with a very quiet fan)
-Suitable for use with GB-PVR
I can't seem to find anything - so all options will be considered!

I have started a thread in the SUPPORT forum http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...ng-Formats that asks how to mix analog recordings with those made from ClearQAM for playback via MediaMVP to SD sets and Popcornhour A100 to an HD set, retaining the HD format on the HD television.
I posted it there because I thought it was a general configuration issue rather than one specific to MediaMVPs and NMTs.
Rather than start two simultaneous discussions, I am posting a message here asking help from users in this forum but not for them to respond here.
I think for the time being it would be best to keep responses in the thread in the SUPPORT forum. Once a solution to the issue has been found then the thread could be moved to the most appropriate forum.
