Hi,
Just wondering if anybody is using Hadu successfully? I've tried it and it has very fast channel changes but the moment I try leave GB-PVR or change over to a FTA channel it crashes PVRX2.

I've tried Acamd as well - this seems reasonably stable but I have noticed if you do a lot of channel changes really quickly it messes it up and then seems to not pick up that you've changed channels after. It also seems to try to login in more than once to CCcam.

I'd be happy to post the required logs for Hadu in case it is something that is easily fixed but not sure which ones will be relevant?

Also, I suspect Hadu won't work for me anyway. I intend to run 5 MediaMVP off this machine one it's working ok but I think Hadu only allows 1 signal to be decrypted?

Cheers

Chris

well i finally found the silly CIR dongle that can be used on a Intel motherboard as a mce remote..
http://cgi.ebay.com/IR-Receiver-with-Cab...4cec7c4a29 $19 US $24 with remote
designed to be mounted internally, it's pretty small..
i thin blasters are just external ir eyes, and a detection circuit to tell how many are plugged in...[not included]

nice thing is, seems *all* the CIR compatible receivers can use RC5 [mvp silver remote,etc] remotes for wake and commands...[now why doesn't it work on mce dongles? grrr ]
that dongle plugs in Intel Media series board CIR header, i haven't found a blaster, but it does have dual blaster capability and separate header for ir eyes..

i have also found schematics for making one..
[not many parts either]
the driver comes on intel cd, it should be compatible with any soft that can drive mce remotes..

it's same setup as hauppauge "WinTV 23885/7/8 Consumer IR" setup..which can also use RC5 remotes to to wake system....
anybody have one of those? i'm assuming it's a mce lookalike possibly plugged into usb..
[driver "hcw85cir.inf" is almost identical to intel's]

a mce dongle is going to be simlar in capabilities, but it can't be woke from RC5 remote..[even tho it knows how to decode signals.]
so that's why i'm getting one, and use my old MVP 45 button remote alone with sleep/wake ability..
i'll try to see if i can't use the RC5 power key code on MCE dongle...but they look quite different..

if anybody has any insights into translating one to the other let me know any ideas..

I've replaced my old PC with one running Windows 7 (x86) but I'm still using my Hauppauge Nova-SE2 (DVB-S).

The problem is that GB-PVR 1.4.7 doesn't get a signal.

I've checked
- card and connection is OK (Windows Media Center can receive TV)
- Windows Media Center doesn't interfere (stopped the service)
- configuration is the same as on the old PC where it was working
- logfile (attached) shows no errors

What could be the problem?

thanks, chris

OK, this may be a bit lame, but I thought it would be cool to show the physical setup of our GBPVR's... all those perfectly functioning systems throughout the world! (in my case Silicon Valley, CA) My constraint was that it all had to fit in a pre-existing cabinet (else WAF=0) and I didn't want to go to the hassle of remote-ing everything, so 32" it was. As you can see, the system comes well-accessorized with included cat...

Thanks again for a great piece of software, and wonderful learning experience.

I installed GBPVR in Windows 7. But when trying to setup my TV card I keep getting that error message. The card's drivers are installed (Avermedia Duet A188). These work fine using 7mc.

I had some problems with the channels. Dish network recently changed channel 406 (SETENTA) to Fox Soccer Plus. The channel no longer updated.

I tried everything fixing it, but couldn't .. . I finally created a new analog source, etc, and now the channel shows up correctly in the channel list under my new analog source..

However, the other list still shows the wrong list, and the TV guide still shows the wrong list.

How do I deleted all the channels from the TV guide and have them reload.
I can't seem to find a way.

thanks,

I have a "Sigmacom HDTV 5 USB V1" and unfortunately the company is kaput. Anyways it does QAM but I can't seem to get it working with GBPVR. I have this in my bda.ini:
[Sigmacom HDTV 5 USB V1]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
TUNING_SPECIAL=2
FILTER_TUNER=GS USB BDA ATSC Tuner/Demod
FILTER_CAPTURE=GS USB Transport Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

I've tried various "TUNING_SPECIAL=" numbers (plus deleting that line) but it just doesn't pick up any channels . Maybe the BDA driver is ATSC only? It does analog/ATSC/QAM with its own software but doesn't pick up all the virtual channel mappings properly . My filtercheck.log :

Thanks!

Is there an easy way to change the recording directory with all existing recordings? Present directory i.e. E:\MyPVR, new directory D:\My Recordings.

One solution which does comes to my mind:
- export recording database;
- stop recording service;
- edit the recording dump xml file with search and replace;
- import this file;
- move all recordings to new directory;
- change recording path in GBPVR;
- restart GBPVR.

The database will now contain double entries but these will automaticly be deleted because the recordings in the "old" directory can not be found.

Has anybody an easier and/or better solution and does my idea realy work? Who has done something like this?

I have a Windows 7 (64bit) system with a Hauppauge HVR-1250MCE installed and the live TV works great but when I try to record anything the recordings are video blank but the audio is intact. I have tried various Video Decoder settings and these work the best for me. Some other settings was cause the live tv to lockup and only have video.

I have searched the forums and have not found a definitive answer on this. I have wasted hours trying to get my problematic hvr-2250 going and am now pondering dumping it and going with something more reliable and natively support in GBPVR. Has anyone used two PVR-150s with an IR blaster in each to control two STBs? Is the only option to use a third party blaster and not use the built in Hauppauge blaster? Are there any other issues that I should know about with using two Hauppauge cards and recording from two set top boxes? Thank you all for any help or advice you can provide!
