Hi all
I was delighted yesterday when the Nova S2 HD eventually turned up from Amazon - installed it - recognised it no problem then disappointed when it found absolutely no channels. Tried it in Linux - found it - correct drivers - still no channels.
I was running it on a LNB with quite a long line so I put it on another LNB which had a line that only ran a few metres from the dish. This time it found 48 channels (this is on a Sky UK dish) in total, most of them encrypted. The few it found that weren't encrypted I tried to play (in its own software) and it just said "no signal".
All very odd. Anyway after much playing about I submitted a return with Amazon last night as I think the tuner was defective.
Now I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs looking at loads of different cards but keep coming back to this one.
How well does this card work for others? I'm hoping if I buy it again, it'll just be a one off.
I know a friend who has a freeview card with 7MC and he has to rerun the scan twice to get all the channels occasionally - is this the same with satellite or should it get them all first time?
To save space, would it be practical to store the movie thumbnail images in a compressed (eg. JPG) format in the database and in memory?
File and memory space savings would be considerable (75% savings gain is not unreasonable). It's also likely to result in file load (and during re-sort) performance improvements due to the significant file size reduction.
I am setting up a new client. On this client, I can watch recordings but live tv goes to a black screen and then back to menu. Any ideas would be much appreciated! I have attached my log.
Are full, fit and crop zoom modes working as expected for you on 16x9 files? I've just got a HD PVR hooked up to HD cable box and it doesn't work the way I want but I don't want to change things that others are using.
Hi I'm looking to set up a DVR using a PC and GB-PVR software and need advice on what card to buy. I have Dish satellite with the 322 receiver and 2 regular 32" tvs. My problem is that I am not sure if I would use the same type card that a cable tv system uses. I see some cards say they are not for digital satellite. Does that mean Dish and Direct TV or are they referring to the C and K band types? I'm not really clear on all the different formats the cards say they can be used for or what format Dish and Direct TV use. Thanks.
This is possibly a feature request for your next version.
GBpvr reports a "Missing VMR9 renderer" error message when config is set to EVR and the EVR is bad or missing.
that had me chasing my tail for a while, please it would be nice if a problem with EVR reported itself as a "missing EVR renderer" message box instead.
note the VMR9 render was at all times installed and operational.
The 'pending' file in my GBPVR\Logs directory has grown to almost 120MB and has every recording ever scheduled in it. Can I and/or should I just delete it from time to time? Or is this file supposed to get groomed automatically?
My GPVR computer used to always enter standby after 1 hr of inactivity, and then turn back on when required to make recordings. Lately though, for roughly the past 3 weeks, it's just staying on all the time. At first I thought it was because I was recording the Olympics, but with that event over I now know that's not what's causing it.
The only thing I think I might have done to cause this problem is to start using a concurrent user hack to allow a laptop to remote into the computer w/o logging off the current user. The weird thing is that this hack was performed over a year ago; I used it a bunch at first and then left it alone for a good 11 months before using it again.
I've checked task manager for rogue processes, but don't see anything unusual (doesn't mean I know what half the stuff in there is). I just noticed that the computer isn't going into screen saver either, and I currently don't have PVRX2 running - so I don't think it is a GBPVR problem.
If anyone has some tips of things to check, I'm all ears!
Hello!
I am sorry if this is written in manual, but I couldn't find it. There are so many settings, plugins and utilities in this software...
Here is my situtation:
I have two Pinnacle PCTV Dual Hybrid tuner cards with 4 channels in total.
4 different channels have to be recorded every day the same time (this is done by scheduling). The first confusion is that those recorded files have to be written in my folder by hours. In iuVCR soft this can be done easily by setting max file time or size. The feature is called "segmentation".
The second thing is that those files have to be automatically named by date and time.
And the last thing is that when I playback any recorded file there have to be recording time and date placed in specified spot. This is called Timestamp in iuVCR.
My schedules direct stopped working all of a sudden. I have checked my Schedules Direct account and re-added the line-up. I have included the error I'm getting below. :confused:
