24 days to go to the start of DSO here in the West of England - and I have just found that we will be now doing it in 3 stages.
This means that the ini spreadsheet made by Graham has channel info that will only be used after Autumn 2011 (not his fault - only published by ofcom on Feb 9th 2010 & not yet updated on http://www.ukfree.tv)
The dates are as follows:-
Stage 1: 24th March 2010 - Channels 55,56,61,62,65,67
Stage 2: 7th April 2010 - Channels 54,56,58(HD),59,61,62
Stage 3: Autumn 2011 - Channels 48,52,54,56,58(HD),61
You will have to use 'explicitly scan DVB-T Offset frequencies' setting on the Misc tab for Stage 2
I have made an ini file for each stage put them in BDA/DVB-T folder.
In Config under capture sources edit they will be listed as "Southern England after DSO"
"Mendip Stage 1" etc.
I've had zProcess working well for quite awhile now, no real complaints except the odd restart required. I've recently set up a Windows Home Server on a computer separate from my GBPVR machine. When I moved my divX files over to the WHS shared Videos folder, and updated my GBPVR config with the path, my mediaMVP wasn't able to find the shared Video folder. After scouring the forums, I found the suggestion that I had to set the service to log on as the same account and password as the WHS machine, and that seemingly fixed it, I was now able to find the folder and view all the video files. But now the videos won't play through the mediaMVP. Changing the service to use a different login, means that it is no longer set to interact with the desktop, which I think zProcess needs.
My immediate thought is I will have to merge these two machines together into one, install GBPVR on the WHS computer, and move the TV card there, but I'm not sure I want to do that yet, although I've noticed folks have had success doing this.
Any suggestions for allowing mediaMVP and zProcess on the GBPVR computer work with WHS shared folders, that are on another computer on the network?
Can anyone tell me from this log why the recording did not complete? The program showed "Ready" but there was no file so the only option was delete. Why would the pins not connect in the last log message? At the time I was able to watch the show live but not record it. I do not use live preview mode. Full logs attached.

My impression is that EVR renderer is necessary to get smooth playback of HD material in Windows 7 and Vista. Unfortunately it does not support cropping to remove black borders on letterboxed SD material, which plays nicely in VMR9.
It would be nice if one could set different renderers for HD and SD material in GBPVR.
i have recently configured my digital tv card (KNC1 TV Station DVB-C+).
I was finally able to search and find channels. By the way, i am able to
find and see for example ARD HD. However, for strange reason, i cannot see simple ARD. The channel is found, i can select it, sometimes (!) i even can hear audio, but the video is just black. Nothing to see. This applies to some other
channel (but really only few), others are ok!
I have no idea, which problem this could be!
I would be glad about any help. Maybe some more details are required?
This unit has two DVB tuners, both can be seen using the supplied Hypermedia software, which is a bit basic.
I have GB-PVR working with one of the tuners which I have called TV1.
I created a new source called TV2 using the same device code, and scanned channels without any problem, however any attempt to record two programs on different multiplexes fails.
I also tried setting device number to 2, that gives no channels on a scan.
I must be doing something wrong somewhere. If anyone can please point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
There are quite a few test recordings shown in the logs.
Hi!
I have a problem with my TV-Card and Live-Tv!
I run the channelsearch and found ervery channel. I'm also abel to see the preview of each channel but when I tried to run the Liv-TV i got the message "No Tuners Available"!
I've been having a problem with failed recordings for the last couple of months. Recordings don't always fail, but when they do it seems to happen more frequently with back to back recordings. However, record season recordings fail sometimes. I usually schedule recordings from the guide search. I use the community skin, as well as, the tvrecordings plugin and also, the weather plugin. I tried removing all the plugins and the skin before, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm using gbpvr version 1.47 and I'll see if I'm able to attach my logs. Help.:eek:
Thanks in advance
Canada's Golden in 2010.
I've got a Compro videomate vista E900F running on windows home server and I'm trying to get it set up with gbpvr but i cant get past the configuration.
I tried searching but it looks like loads of people get the same error for various reasons so i thought I'd start a thread. I've had the card working perfectly on other programs and the tuningassistant find a few channels.
I've spent so long trying to find a program which works for this so i really hope you can help
I wrote some xbasic code and batch files to process mulitple ffmpeg 2 pass conversions. 3 uses 75-100 cpu time depending on the type of conversion.
xbasic code I had some printing going on but I commented that out you may want to use it to debug this if you choose.

Multipass ffmpeg batch file. I do preprocessing of the file with projectx. I pass a log file prefix one,two,three so that log files are kept separate.
