I've got a Comcast DTA box hooked up to my HTPC right now. My receiver gets signals from the box's remote. But sending a test signal does nothing to the DTA. I have a Hauppauge blaster and an HP blaster. Neither one works.

Thoughts? The thing is right up against the face of the box.

OK, I've tried all day to get this to work and its a no go. I have Win XP and am running the latest version of GBPVR. I have downloaded the latest comskip files and that appears to be working well, however comclean is a no go. I am trying to use comclean2 with Cuttermaran. I set up the postprocessing.bat just as instructed in the Wiki. Can someone please give me a step by step instructions for dummies so I can get this to work?? Plus tell me whatever tweaks I need to make to postprocessing.bat and GBPVR's config settings.

I use an external hard drive (E) to record my tv shows to then use another computer on my network to access the files and watch them on a TV in my basement. Thats why I want to totally remove the commercials before watching the recording. I do not use GBPVR's player or an MVP.

After comskip runs I have the notepad files and the edl file but I never get another mpg file in addition to my original mpg file.

THANKS!

I just bought a ATI 650 USB tuner card. I can watch and use it on the default ATI software. When i tried to use it with GBPVR, I cant get anything to show up. The config did detect my card but when it tried to scan for EPG options, nothing comes up. The most disappointing it i cannt get the LIVE TV to even show up. Basically when i click on "live TV" nothing shows up, no black screen, no flicker, no nothing.

Can you advise me in how to get the live tv to show? my connection is Cable from Shaw. I am not sure if that is digital or analog, but we have a digital shaw cable box in the living room. This tuner is connected to my desktop in the bedroom straight from the wall via cable.

thanks.

Recently the GBPVR tray icon stopped appearing after a re-boot. I can see it's running from windows task manager but it doesn't appear, I found this thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...light=tray with a possible solution but havn't tried yet because I'd like to image my system before I screw the registry up.

The logs appear to show nothing, but has anyone got any ideas.

Oh I should add this is on my lounge XP32 server.

Hi folks,

I just installed my new M34A NMT this afternoon and am having a few issues.

The biggest one is that the menus are far too big. By this I mean that if you chopped the menu into 4 quarters, I can see only the top left quarter spread out across my entire screen. I'm set up for 1080I mode.

Another minor issue is that I can't seem to get "gbpvr" to work so am having to use "gbpvr via network browder" which does seem to do what I want in a manner of speaking.

Any help etc ...

Thanks

Mark

The mdapi filter is an old one-channel filter and should be scrapped. I have tested DVBDREAM which interfaces directly to ACAMD and I have successfully recorded 3 shows simultanously (decrypted on-the-fly while recording), using acamd and newcs. This prooves that acamd (and maybe other softcams) can decrypt more than one stream at a time, and while dvbdream can do it, it must be possible for gbpvr also .

This way we would not need other software addons to record/watch multi encrypted channels, and that again makes things more easy to install/maintain. Ofcource there is nothing wrong with using a HW cam if one wishes so.

Sub, is there any chance you can delay the next release until these changes are implemented?

Now that I've got my GBPVR recording both analog and I found that I'm sometimes accidentally selecting a TS file for playback on the MVP. This results in a crash that takes several minutes to recover from.

Would it be possible to remove or disable the play button from the MVP when there is a recording that is not playable on the MVP such as a QAM recording in TS format.

Also, could there be an option in the config so that any recordings that were done in digital would be marked on the main screen. For example all digital recordings could be prefixed with asterisk. If not that maybe the text could be in a different color. The idea would be to show MVP users that they can't play these shows.

I've got a Popcorn Hour and I'm looking to get either another one or possibly a HD MVP if they ever come out. However, even if I do that, I'm sure I will re-use the MVP by moving it to my kids TV or something.

Here is a small update I would like to see.

When you select a program to record, then decide that you don't want to record this program, you have to press down several times to get to the cancel button. In many if not all the other screens on GBPVR you can press up and the selection will "wrap around" and jump to the last button. I'm constantly opening this screen and thinking I should be able to press up to get to the bottom of the pop-up.

How to set up multiple guide sources using mc2xml. I have hvr 1600 with qam, ntsc cable (TWC) and a hdpvr(DTV) giving me 3 sources. Right now I have C:EPG/TWC and C:EPG/DTV folders set up to collect guide data but I don't know how to pull it together. Basic cable and QAM share the same data base, they just use different channel numbers.
This works but I have to manually go to these folders and execute mc2xml every 10 days or so. I set up UpdateEPG.bat with both directories above. Not sure this is the right way. Suggestions?


C:
cd "C:\EPG\DTV"
cd "C:\EPG\TWC"
mc2xml
