I have scanned and updated with all sorts of settings but I get no channels and no EPG. Scanning my local region or All Regions (57) finds no channels. The SIGNAL/QUALITY sometimes show a value in QUALITY but always shows 0 in SIGNAL.

I notice that the GBPVRRecordingService does not seem to use any CPU, other than that on starting. Doesn't this do the comms with the TV card? Its logs show no errors though.

The ComproDTV 4.2 software has no trouble and I can receive all channels.

The attached log files are a sample set I created and do not represent all the things I have tried.

(ERROR [5] was clearly a red herring - not getting it now)

Hello,

I heard great reviews about GBPVR and decided to try it out after having too much trouble with WIN7 WMC.

Unfortunately, I have a few bugs and I hope you guys can help me out.

Here are my specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93GHz
4Gb of Ram 800mhz DDR
Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
2 Hauppauge WinTV 950Q usb tuners

The first problem arises when I am mapping the digital channels (clear QAM) to my EPG (I got a shedulesdirect account). The program finds the channels alright but I can't see the preview pane (its black). I do get sound however. I tried reinstalling the program (and I did install the vcredist_x86 plugin). Am I missing a few more pluggins? Also, I managed to map a couple of QAM channels but when I watch them I also get only audio, the screen is black. This has never happened before with other media centre programs. Help?

The second problem is that the Digital channels found during the scan show their numbers (ex: 111.87) but does not show the name, instead it is written Unknown. My service provider is Cogeco in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. I guess I could try and do it manually but without the preview pane, it is very difficult/impossible even). Is there any help for this?

The third problem happens when I am watching OTA channels with the PVR (I use my second 950Q tuner for ATSC and the install and epg worked like a charm). The channels looks choppy (not smooth), and that is for several channels, HD ones included. I am sure it is not my computer and tuners because I've used them in WMC and they worked just fine. I know it is not my antenna because I get maximal signal on all but 1 OTA channel and they all appear great in other software and my built in TV tuner on my lcd. Could it be that the dbpvr program is slowing things down for the processing of HD OTA channels from a usb device?

Any help would be very much appreciated. I would really want to stick with DBPVR but I need to fix these problems, especially the third one.

Thanks!

Edit: I managed to fix the choppy problems by changing the codecs. I am still having issues with the preview pane and also live tv won't work. It just freezes on a black screen and nothing happens. help?

I'm setting up a new PC Win 7 64 bit Professional. I have GBPVR working but have a few issues with some utiltiies/plugins. In researching one problem I see that there was not any registry entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Devnz as a matter of fact the key is not there at all from the install. Is it needed, should I add it maually or is there any advice to reinstalling differently.


Thanks in advance

Finished setting up GBPVR today but it is unable to record anything. I updated the EPG fine and GBPVR shows the programs in the TV guide fine. I click record on a program and that is fine, even when you view the Manage Recordings page it shows the program as being recorded. The problem is after the show finishes, it disappears from Manage recordings page. I went into the folder where the program is supposed to be saved to and it gives a folder with the name of the program but the folder is empty! Help please.

I have setup season recordings for a number of shows. The system is recording up to 3 copies of each episode simultaneously. All 3 copies of the show will have exactly the same start time or will start within a couple of minutes of each other.

When I look at the TV Guide I can see that the shows are duplicated in the guide. When I look at the Pending Recordings screen I can see that the system is scheduling multiple recordings of the same show at or close to the same time.

If I delete the show from the "Recurring" recordings menu and then reload the EPG, all of the duplicates will dissappear from the TV Guide. The duplicates are not being downloaded as part of the EPG.

It appears that the duplicates are being accumulated by GBPVR. I am guessing that the EPG is being updated over several days with perhaps small changes to the start time. GBPVR is keeping the previously scheduled recording and adding a new copy with perhaps a start time 1 minute later.

I did not see this problem in the previous release of GBPVR.

Note: I have ticked the "Complete EPG Reload" option on the Capture Sources screen.

Is there a parameter in GBPVR that would prevent the system from scheduling recordings at the same time on the same channel ? Perhaps a timer that prevented recordings from starting within 3 minutes of each other ?

Can GBPVR be setup to schedule recordings based on just todays copy of the EPG. It appears to keep recordings from several days EPG reloads resulting in the duplicates based on old schedules.

Any ideas for debugging this would be appreciated.

Hi

I just saw an offer in Sweden about a mediaplayer Syvio 200A. It is about half the price of a NMT-A110 and I need another extender to place in the bedroom. But a must have is GB-PVR on it as I currently have in the livingroom.

I would like to know if you know (or at least can make an educated guess) if mvpmcx2 would work on this unit?

Howdy all - I thought I'd offer these to fellow forum members before I head to the "Bay." Price is $30 for both including shipping to US - Paypal only.

Two Analog cards with hardware encoding in VG condition (My provider has bupkus to record on analog now) with XP Drivers and PDF manual.

Are natively supported in GBPVR (I created the original section for these cards for the direct.ini file.)

PM me if any questions.

And Sub, if this no longer an appropriate kind of post delete away 8^)

Trying to upgrade and ran across some issues. Will post logs tomorrow when i get back on the machine.

I ran across the problem where the previous recording service wasn't removed and I got that done. I also received one of the Error 1904 messages even though I installed the .exe file per instructions.

The install appears to be complete now, but when I kick off the PVRX2, the window frame for it displays, but nothing happens after that. Do I need to change the skin or something? Anyone else running into this? Any ideas? I'll post the logs tomorrow when I get the opportunity.

Running Windows 2k, Pentium 4 1.8 gHz, 640 MB of RAM, Hauppauge 350.

I'm trying to get ML3 to respond to the NMT keyboard the way Bekken did in Music and Sub does on the Recording Seach but I can't see it in my OnKeyDown events. Do I have to define OnKeyPress an fake something? I can't get OnKeyPress on IMenuTask with this definition

public bool OnKeyPress(System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("press");
return false;
}

Any suggestions.

here's a nice new variation from Zotac guys...and i see it's fanless and a 330 atom and has a pcie mini slot *and* a pciex16 slot too..

so a very expandable little system there...could actually get 2 tuners in it..
[and one could be a 2250, pciex1 works in x16 slots]

and here's a nice little case to stick it in...brushed black aluminum...
