My setup is done with no internet connection to it at all. My PC is an HP M900th with a Vixus PureTV tuner (Yeah I know, it's actually working now.. go figure) running Win7-64Bit. So far, everything is running great. I used GBPVR as just a movie player at first since it worked with my MCE Remote flawlessly. I just now got the EPG Data to work using MC2XML and I'm happy with not having to worry about EPG Data in there. (I've used SageTV in the past and it's too buggy... Windows MC requires internet or a mass amount of hacks to get EPG loaded from what I've seen) My PC is used for entertainment (TV, movies, Music) along with graphics work & some gaming. I have 2-23" Acer H233hbmid monitors and a breakout (RGB Component) to my 34" Toshiba CRT running 1080i. Let me know if you need any other details.
Here's a couple of questions. Keep in mind I'm still very new to GBPVR & it's guide / epg processing.
1. What's the best plugin / mod to get the Guide to show me when a show is New or a Re-Run in the info? Can this also be an option on recording? For instance, I only want it to record "New" episodes of Family Guy? (SHUSH! I love that show!) I've been reading on a couple of them but I'm afraid to start hacking and butchering my GBPVR install since I'm being very careful as to not upset Win7.
2. Does the MC2XML grab all of this information anyways? Or is that going to be another project?
3. Is there a way to assign or modify your MCE Remote functions? Say I want the MC button to start GBPVR instead?
Sorry if this is so general, I wasn't sure this belonged in a specific place other than plug-ins?
I managed to install gppvr and got it to work with my AnySEE E30 C+ on Windows XP Pro SP3 and would now like to get the remote to operate with gbpvr.
I have gone through wiki tutorials and searched on google and this forum but i cannot find anything that could enable me to proceed.
When i try to get config.exe to learn the new remote as a USB-UIRT, config.exe crashes. I am not able to find the right logs to post here. Perhaps someone can give me an idea on how to go about with that if this would help someone help me ?
I have tried to use some of the other usb-uirt profiles in the channel changer of the capture card but that does not seem to do the trick.
At the moment, the only positive thing is that the remote is able to move the mouse on the screen but sadly not in gbpvr.
Hear from someone ?
Thanks in advance.

Apologies that this thread occurs in Hardware section. i meant to write it here.
First of all, I am using fireSTB with the channel.exe command sent over firewire to a Motorola DCH-3200 STB.
My channels change ok using firewire and the fireSTB channel.exe, but whenever a new recording starts on the same channel as the recording just before it, the info screen pops up. This screws up the first 2 or 3 minutes of the show.
Any idea why this info screen would be popping up when changing to the same channel it is already on? If so, any idea how to stop this from happening?
I am new to GBPVR and I have 2 problems.
1. After a channel scan, some channels show as Unknown#. By checking the schedules I have worked out that 1 is ITV1, 2 ITV2, 4 Rabbit, 5 Channel 4, 6 E4, 7 More4, 8 Channel 4+1, 11 Gay Rabbit, 12 Five and 13 ITV2+1; there are no Unknowns 3, 9 or 10. There doesnât seem to be a way to change the channel name via the Channels tab. (Kworldâs HyperMediaCenter identifies these channels correctly.)
2. The EPG gives (no show details) for BBC1, BBC2, ITV3, ITV4, Film4, eight of the Unknowns and 15 other channels, although when I click on them they show the current programme. How can I get the programme titles for those channels to show in the EPG?
Thank you for your help.

Got back to my computer after the Super Bowl and got low drive space on my secondary drive. It has 200K available. Looked at the recording file for the Super Bowl game and it was a whopping 135 GB. Never had a recording problem before but probably never recorded a program that long since the last Super Bowl.
I recorded a program on Saturday with the same 'high' quality profile and that file was 2.61 GB for 1 hour. So this recording should have been in the neighborhood of 13 GB. I can't open the file at all... Media Player Classic, GB-PVR, VideoReDo, and VLC won't do anything with the file. Fdisk reports no file system problems with the disk.
My Stats:
Windows 7
Hauppauge PVR-350 - 4.6b drivers from the website.
GB-PVR 1.4.7
Logs & a screen shot of the properties sheet are attached.
The only thing I can think of is Media Center. I don't have MC configured but I did launch it this afternoon and was doing some poking around the app. The only thing I can come up with is that may have caused a problem where MC didn't give up control of the TV card.
I do have the file if anyone has a idea how I can recover/test it but I probably won't keep it around long as the hard drive is now full.
So, can anyone tell me what happened? Is MC known to cause issues with the hardware and/or software set?
Sub: I've had further correspondence with the developers of coreAVC regarding the unreliability of using coreAVC as a codec in GBPVR. Here's the latest email, that arrived today:
"What should be happening is the upstream filter needs to call NewSegment() on CoreAVC's input pin, to notify it properly that the stream has changed. Not doing so should be considered invalid directshow behaviour.
Regardless, I have modified CoreAVC so it should behave better if the stream changes without a NewSegment() call. You can find a demo build here: ..."
**Note: Sorry - I've just edited this post to remove the download link, as I've just received a request from corecodec to not make it publicly downloadable. I'll test it myself and report back on how it goes.**
It would be great if you could take a look at this
Thanks again,
Pete.
I recently upgraded to an ATI HD 4670 with a fanless cooler on it for my Win XP GBPVR box. At the same time, I decided to grab the latest drivers with the CCC bundle (10.1).
After installation I found that all the controls to adjust the geometry of the image on my TV, including over-scan were missing. I had to go back to driver version 9.11 or earlier to get them back. Having done a bit of a search, it seems others have seen this too.
Basically, the settings for the monitor/TV attached via HDMI are missing in newer drivers. Unfortunately, the older drivers that do have the settings seem to be buggy with the 4670. This effectively breaks this card for any kind of HTPC role. Very sucky indeed. I will have to go back to my 2600 Pro, with it's noisy fan.
