When can we expect the next version ? I suffer from the issue whereby tv viewing stops on MVPs after every show, which is a bit tedious when the kids are watching cbeebies ! As I understand it, this wil be fixed in the next version.
I'v been trying to set up gbpvr under Windows-7 64bit, and I can watch and record unencrypted dvb-c channels just fine, but I cannot get encrypted channels to decrypt. The setup is exactly the same as I use under XP, bt it seems almost like no data is sendt to mdapifilter.ax. Any one has a good suggestion what to do?
On the UK Hauppauge site I can see a new HVR version, the WinTV-HVR-4400 (http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products...r4400.html). Is it safe to assume that this card also is supported by GBPVR. With the possibility to use the WinTV-CI module for pay-tv, I am now thinking about kicking my old analogue setup out through the door.
As I understand the difference between the two versions is that I will be able to record on both DVB-S and DVB-T at the same time.
I have only just got my gbpvr up and running and started to set up a few series links I have 2 tuners btw.
after the first night i had some programs that I never set up (which i deleted) and after the 2nd day I have a few programs listed as failed but others that are ok.
when i selected these links i was not notified of any clashes ?
can some one explain what might be causing this please?
I am in a little trouble here, the main show my wife cares about me recording for her is America's Next Top Model. The last two weeks it has failed, after scrounging through my logs I have come to the conclusion that it is because it is attempting to start the recording on my 2250 as opposed to the ATI550 that it should be using. This line in my pending.log gives me that clue:
[HTML]3392 America's Next Top Model 4/21/2010 8:00:00 PM - 4/21/2010 9:00:00 PM capture-source:5 tuning:0[/HTML]
where it should be something like:
[HTML]3540 It's Me or the Dog 5/1/2010 8:00:00 PM - 5/1/2010 9:00:00 PM capture-source:1 tuning:40[/HTML]
Last week when this occurred, I removed and recreated all of my capture sources (painful), thinking it was an old reference causing this. But, it happened again today. And, I am certain to be in trouble again for not capturing her show.
I am at a loss as to what to do. A few things to note, I have a show recording on the 2250 leading up to A.T.M. (Family Guy, I record both Simpsons & Family Guy episodes from 6-8PM). Her show starts at 8PM, and is recorded off my analog line.
For now, I canceled the Family Guy recording, hoping that will solve it.
I am attaching my logs (besides pending - it is huge), in hopes that someone can use them to help me out here.
Looking in the recording service log I see this repeating:

Did anyone record CSI from FV HD NZ this week (enough acronyms?)
I recorded it and went to watch last night, and it seemed awfully quiet - all of the surrounds were working as expected. AC3 filter was passing through to my amp, but I had no voices.
When I turned passthrough off, ac3 filter showed no movement on the center channel at all (all LFE, L, R, surrounds looked as usual)
I tried playing with ffdshow instead, same thing.
Tried on the popcorn hour (downmix to stereo as it's on a different TV) and got no voices.
I guess what I am asking is did anyone else experience this on their recording? I can't understand how that could happen, no corruption etc in the recording and all the surround sounded great.
Well, I messed up big time with installing Windows 7. I bought the Family 3 pack of Home Premium upgrade. When I was installing 7 on my PVR, the C: partition was too small to install it (8GB) and delete partition wasn't an option. So I booted off my XP disc and deleted all the partitions. Started Win7 setup and it got to the point of typing in the CD Key and wou;dn't accept it, said it was invalid without any explanation except for an error code (I should have looked that SOB up). I remembered that I could just bypass entering the key for now and activate it later online within 30 days.
Well, just tried to activate it and still get invalid key, but it actually tells me what the problem is now (surprise!)
"You're using a product key for an upgrade version of Windows 7 and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your computer when Windows 7 was installed."
Thanks alot Microsoft...
Looked up this issue online and see:
"If you formatted the drive before starting the installation process, you won't be able to use the upgrade product key to activate Windows 7. To activate Windows 7, you'll need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 7."
Great.... I just got everything f-ing working and now i gotta start over?! I REALLY don't want to go thru the torture of setting up my QAM channels and getting the guide to look perfect again... with multiple lineups and different capture sources, it was a serious pain in the ass.
So... does anyone know a way around this Win 7 activation issue? If i do have to reinstall 7, can i backup the entire Devnz directory, reinstall GB-PVR, then stop the recording service and copy in my backup and be back up and running exactly as it is now?
I know this can be accomplished using the default TV Guide that GBPVR comes with. But I was wondering if this can also be done using TV Listings? If not consider it a feature request.
I would like to know if GBPVR has some provision of automatic shut down of the computer after a scheduled recording has been completed. If yes, where can this time be set?
