Hi,
I'm using version 1.3.11 (I think that's the number... it's the first version to intoduce multi-channel record anyway). Whenever I try live TV I get a message saying it can't do it because of low signal, with a couple of bars showing 0 signal strength and quality. Sometimes it starts live TV, but a couple of minutes later it stops with the same message. Regular recordings are always perfect.

I can post the logs later. Is this a known issue .. does 1.4.7 or some patch happen to address it?

Cheers
Julian.

I need some help with my channel scans. Comcast seems to have moved some channels here north of Boston, so I'm trying to rescan, but I can't get anything.

WinTV 7 was able to find channels this morning. I've tried changing the video renderer away from the MS one, but to no avail. Attached are the config logs after the most recent scan.

I have a HVR-1600 and a HVR-1250, both doing QAM scans on Win 7 64-bit.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Marc

I did some searching, but didn't know what it was called, and searching on pause didn't bring it up.

But the big info screen when you pause a recording. Is it possible to either time it out or remove it?
I cannot seem to find a setting for it.

I want the second one to do the first 30 analog cable channels I get and the 12 qam channels. Will this work?

They have them for $44 shipped on ebay

I recently got basic cable with clear QAM delivery of the local broadcast stations. I've got it mostly working, but I'm having one problem consistently.

I'm using TS Mux with Multi-record enabled. The ABC station (KSTP) and the FOX station (KMSP) are on the same frequency, so should be able to be recorded on one tuner at the same time. I've got an AverMedia Duet tuner. It seems that if I record from these 2 channel and GBPVR uses Duet tuner #0, they record OK. However, if it uses Duest tuner #1, then I get the programming from KMSP saved in both files.

As far as I can tell, I've got both tuners configured with the same EPG channels and mappings. I've attached the channel config file from BDA Channel Migration Tool for tuner #1. And I've attached logs from the recording service for a test I just did. I first recorded KSTP (Desperate Housewives) and KMSP (NFL Postgame) on tuner #0. Those worked OK. Then I cancelled them, started recording CBS and NBC (to tie up tuner #0) and restarted recording KSTP and KMSP (now on tuner #1). However, both recording have content from KMSP. (And, the KSTP recording was started first!)

I can't figure it out! Anyone have suggestions?

Is it possible to have the PVR wake up to any remote control input not just the power toggle command?

It would be much easier if I could just push the up arrow or something and have it wake up, similar to how it reacts to a keyboard.

Using a Microsoft USB IR receiver/blaster. Or is there a separate Power On or Power Off command?

I accidentally mapped a channel to the wrong digital channel and cant figure out how to delete that mapping. Is there any way to delete one mapping. Also when I click the button that says "Delete Mappings", it says all mappings are gonna be deleted, but it doesnt delete any mappings. Am I misunderstanding?

I've just installed a card and GBPVR, so I'm a newbie going through the pains of something new and unfamiliar, and am in need of a little help.

In Config>Playback, all my options for decoders are on FFDShow, except HE-AAC, which is set to Monogram. See my signature for details of my setup.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think all NZ Freeview channels are h.264 video with HE-AAC audio. (Could someone confirm this for us?)

Despite my CPU never reaching 100%, LiveTV is feeling sluggish and unreliable.

All of the HD channels are unwatchable - the video freezes for a while and then plays a few seconds, then freezes, etc. It's as if the CPU is maxed out - but it isn't. e.g. on the "Freeview|HD" channel, it was doing this while the CPU never got above 40%. On the TV3|HD channel, it just was blank, but the CPU went to 80-90%. Sound played generally fine during this, but sometimes with some choppiness.

Also, changing channels takes at least 3 secs. Longer if I'm going in or out of HD channels, I think. (I'm not 100% sure, as I'm not exactly sure which channels are HD and which aren't - is there a list somewhere, for NZ channels?)

It's as if its having trouble getting the signal, or the signal is dropping out. Which would be odd, as I'm so near the transmitter. Hauppauge Signal Strength Meter reads an SNR of 32, and gives me the green light.

Or there's something faulty about FFDShow? Is there a better h.264 decoder I should be using?

Appreciate all suggestions...

Hey guys;

I have been having a hell of a time getting GB-PVR to work on my machine, and since you guys are such a great community, i figured i would ask for help (after searching the forums of course).

I have gotten everything to work with Windows Media Center, but I dont want to use it

first, the nessicary hardware info;
Caputer/Tuner: Hauppage HVR-2250
Version: Most current

My Provider is: Rogers Cable (digital) in Ontario Canada
Set Top Box: Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000

GB-PVR CFG settings:
Capture Source:
- Name: Card
- Plugin: BDA Recording Plugin

When Editing capture source:
Source: Digital Recording Plugin
-under the settings options
-Device Type: Hauppaage 2250 (NOT QAM, although it is an option)
-Device Number:1
-Country: All Countries
-Frequency: Default

EPG Source: Scheduals Direct
All Channals appear here. in the correct order, and i have enabled them, however when i try to map them it doesnt detect ANYTHING.

I have fiddled around with other settings, but from what ive read on these forums, I have interpreted this to be the correct setting.

Problems:
-Guide does not initialize, i.e when i hit enter the screen flashes and nothing happens.
-Cannot watch TV

Problems with other settings:
When using Analog settings for my capture source, the guide works beautifully. However, when trying to watch the TV, i get a black screen and the sound is white noise (static)

Well...that abouts sums it up. Apparently I fail at these PVR things Any help would be appreciated. And if you need more info from me, just tell me!

Whenever I play an mp3 from within the music plugin I get the message "albumartaggregator has encountered a problem and needs to close" No more info in the event viewer. The mp3 will play but that message will come up everytime a new mp3 is played. Anyone have any idea?
