Hi everyone!

I've just done a hardware upgrade and reformat on my rig. Installed the latest version of GB PVR, but it doesn't see the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 150 card. Device manager says it's there and working properly.

What to do? :confused:

Thanks for any help you may provide.

When I am trying to map the channels in configuration GBPVR finds no channels at all. The card works fine in MCE and Media Portal. The logs simply report no signal. Is there anything I can do to get GBPVR to initialize the card? I am solely interested in OTA ATSC channels. I have tried in XP and in Windows 7, and I would be happy to work in either system.

Haven't seen this one. On a fresh install of Windows 7 Premium, every time I start the GB-PVR configuration utility I am getting "Please wait while Windows configures GB-PVR" popups. It prompted for the location of "GBPVR10407.msi" so I pointed it to my local copy but it didn't repair the problem. After the popups, the Config utility does appear however.

I looked at the Event Viewer. There a bunch of information and warning messages from the MsiInstaller. Here are the relevant texts:

I recently purchased Samsung T240HD LCD Monitor. This monitor has built-in TV tuner. My primary reason for buying this device is for PVR. My question is how can I install and use the GB-PVR on my computer so that I can use the GB-PVR features with this monitor. During the installation, it asked for card type, I do not know the card type since the tv tuner card is built in. Please someone tell me what to do in order to install and use the software with Samsung unit.

Installed in windows 7 x64 Supports multiple cpu's

I was using mpeg4 codec since it supports multiple threads for file conversions but will give this new codec a try. Am converting ts files to 720p, but two pass is pretty slow. One pass quality is not that good with mpeg4, will be testing it today.

I'm considering leaving my isp, which means I'll lose my email address I've had forever. I know, I know, I should've been using hotmail, gmail, etc. instead of one tied to my isp!

I'm thinking I may like to just get a domain, no real pressing reason as it would just be for family use but I think it would just be fun to have a more personalized email address.

Anyway, the number of domain registration companies is dizzying and trying to do research on them it seems most have problems with customer service -> especially if you are unhappy with them and try to move your domain to another registration company.

Would anyone care to recommend a company they've had good luck with?

I would like to have 5 to 10 email capability with it.

Thanks!

Hi there,
I've been trying to decide between a 7MC or a gppvr setup for about a week now. Whilst I cannot currently installed gppvr ("installation ended prematurely because of an error" - I'm about to reinstall with windows 7 so probably won't be an issue then) it appears to provide everything I require with the prime advantage being extenders (7MC extenders no longer produced except xbox which isn't quiet).

I've been looking at the NMTs and the Hauppauge MediaMVP and trying to decide between them. I can pick up old MediaMVP (with just a scart port) on eBay for about £10 which is very nice.

How responsive are these though compared to the NMTs in terms of menu and video playback etc? Is there any particular disadvantage?

Also with multiple versions of the MVP - does the software work on them all?

I noticed there was a possibility of the A110 refurbished being sold off on the site again (I think!) so was just wondering whether it would be worth waiting for that rather than buying the newer MVPs for my HD TV as the price then comes in similar.

Apologies for the many questions and long first post!

Cheers.

Chris

This relates to getting GBPVR looking like a PVR and not a PC.

I've re-installed Windows XP this week and the stand alone filters pack.
I've used the BootIntoGBPVR guide on the Wiki - auto logging in a user but as GBPVR starts as the shell instead of Explorer the Ir.exe application does not start as the startup directory doesn't get called.

I have tried a suggestion to launch the IR app using a scheduled task but although it is in task manager it doesn't work until I have restarted the IR.exe program.

So can anyone suggest a way to make the IR.exe program work when GBPVR is started as the shell (or just make GBPVR launch another application/program when it starts) as I am trying to make GBPVR look like a stand alone product and not a computer. I really need to get this working.

(Hauppauge Nova-T PCI using 45 button Hauppauge remote on Windows XP with Hauppauge software installed).
Similar thread(s): here,

Just grabbed a PVR-150 (26xx) from flea bay to archive some VHS tapes that the wife wont chuck. I'm using win7 32, from the Hauppauge site it all should work but I cant get it to do anything in WinTV. I've tried s-video composite and rf into the 150 but I always get no signal in WinTV.

Before I send it back has anyone else had any joy with a 150 and Win7 32? Did you do anything special?

Hey guys,

My first post here. I think I have gotten pretty far but now I am in need of some assistance.

I have a Windows 7 machine with an Nvidia GTX275. I installed GB-PVR and when I go to run the PVRX2 all I see is white. The window for PVRX2 opens and instead of seeing the menu, it goes all white inside the window. I have seen posts about a red 'x' or something but I don't have that on my screen. Why am I not seeing the menu screen?
