I've got an issue with GB-PVR failing to record a show at 7pm on Sundays on Prime. I can't seem to replicate this - no matter how many other shows I attempt to record, even using the multi record they all work fine!
The show is Get growing with New Zealand. After this happened last week I removed and readded the tuners and tried everything I coulld think of but to no avail - I still got a 0 byte length recording again this week.
I record 3News on TV3 from 6pm - 7pm and nothing else is scheduled for that time so the 2nd Nova T 500 tuner is free.
I just purchased a Hauppauge HVR-4000 PCI card - will install h/w and gbpvr tonight. Being a single tuner and wanting to record from more than one transponder, I'd like to also install a WinTV-NOVA-S-USB2 for the second transponder. But then I'd have 2 tuners and only one dish - how do I connect both tuners to the one dish - a splitter box?
can anyone supply me with a working entry for the above? I found tonight that so said channel wasn't working. King of Sat provided me with new entries which I have manually edited in cache files but now getting very annoying commentary with the sound.
Problem is I can't find play with it as my wife is watching Flash Gordon on the client in the living room so only get about 2 minutes to tweak during ad breaks!!! And these don't have the commentary on.
Sub, pbs and all the others that have given me aid. I have almost everything perfect.
The developer has spent many hours writing this program. Please donate, I did not much but every little bit counts. The support on this forum is also excellent.
I use Windows 7 64 bits. I have an Happauge 1800. I have digital tv with Videotron in Montreal. Then I need to use a digital decoder and I use a coaxial cable to the capture card "tv in" input. I will not use some ir signal or epg because I will always record from the channel 3. The digital recorder will switch to the correct tv channel.
Then I used the TunningAssistant and select my Happauge capture card, the cable signal, country Canada. Then the software find the signal on channel 3 as expected. It say Channel 3 frequency 61250000.
Then I go to the config software and in the capture sources tab. In configure I click add. SourceName: Happauge, Recording Source: Digital Recorder Plugin, EPG Source: None, Channel Changer: No. Then I have an empty channel list in the bottom grid. I click add channel. Channel Name : Channel Name, Channel Number: 3, click ok and the I enter in the Tunning Request the 61250000 displayed in the TunningAssistant.
I changed the Recording Directories and all the other settings still have the default values.
Channels tab, the channel 3 appear there...
I click ok, it say the service is restarting and when I try PVRX2, I click on Live TV and nothing happen. Not crashing. What I am doing wrong?
I include a screen shot where I changed the default values
I would appreciate any clues or point me any log I should look to understand....
For those in New Zealand recording Freeview HD, I can successfully play my HD recordings over my network onto a TV using an Apacer AL460 media player. It also enables deletion of the files from the remote and has HDMI output.
Prior to this I had been unable to find a media player that would play the h.264 mpeg4 with AAC or AC3 audio in a .ts container that is the format they are saved in by my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2200 capture card, and nor could I find a way to transcode them so they could be viewed on another media player.
However I note that a firmware update BY23.2.7.0105 dated Jan 12 2010 is required to play the AAC audio otherwise TV3's AC3 audio is the only one that can be listened to! Updating the firmware is easy if the instruction is followed. I purchased this product as the specification stated it would handle all of these file formats (though I've seen a competing product that also states the same formats but excludes the combination we have here). When I first purchased the device and found I could not hear the audio on the other channels I contacted Apacer but it was not until my third attempt over about 10 days that I finally received a response. Then they were very helpful, maintained communication and eventually invited me to send file samples (which I posted on a DVD). Following that they advised me of the firmware update.
I have been using gbpvr successfully for a couple of years with analog capture cards. Recently I obtained a dual tuner HDHomerun device. Using your guides and various forum postings I was able to get it recognized by gbpvr, scan for channels and map the channels (QAM from cable) to EPG channels.
Now when I schedule a recording it looks like everything is working except after it creates the recording file it stays at zero length. I can watch Live TV Preview successfully using PVRX2 on the recording PC but as soon as I pause and it tries to record live TV it locks up. The file it creates stays at zero size.
I don't see anything wrong in the logs I've attached. Any insights?
Thanks.

hi,
I noticed that stopping a recording in progress, using the cancel command present in the EWA, does not start Postprocessing.bat.
When the scheduled recording in the "manual recording" of EWA ends timetable set, the Postprocessing.bat start regularly.
Is there a way to start Postprocessing.bat even when you stop recording before the set?
I recorded a bunch of shows yesterday atsc/qam ts format and none of them where converted because of a Java error running projectx. But after I rebooted today it started converting the files. Does PVRX2 continually scan directories for ts files to see if they are converted and retries the conversion over and over until it succeeds. This seems to be the behavior I'm seeing. I looked in the database file but not sure what I'm looking at. I think the last field has something to do with conversion status, can't remember the name though.
It would be good to understand this in case I need to re-enable conversion for a file that has failed but will not retry.

======== I have GBPVR connected to NTSC regular definition cable TV and would like to know what bit rates would work well for show quality but not be too large file size? The current High Quality settings are shown below. How much can I reduce them and retain show quality for viewing on TV screen of regular definition? Video Resolution : NTSC 720x480 Variable enabled Bit Rate: 6500 <=== How low should this go? Bit Rate Peak: 9000 Audio Bit Rate: 320 <=== How low should this go? Audio Sample Rate: 48 kHz What settings do you use for shows you want to put on DVDs? =======
