I thought this might be a good place to ask. I want to hook my laptop to my HDTV. The laptop has an S-video & VGA port... which one is the best to use & what cable do I need?

I own a Sony BRAVIA 26in, this one,

I want to set it up as an extended display..

Thanks

how you can convert the MPEG2 transport stream files, obtained from gbpvr in mpeg2 program stream files in the shortest possible time, by entering the correct command line in post processing.bat?

Hi.

I recently upgraded from analog tuners to HVR-930C tuners and have a lot of stability issues with scheduled recordings. I have 3 tuners that I use in DVB-C mode. The instability is there no matter how many or which one(s) I have attached. Using GBPVR 1.4.7 and the latest Hauppauge driver version 5.8.1107.26322.

For mpeg-2 channels my scheduled recordings will start correctly about 75% of the time. For HD h.264 it will start about 20% of the time. When it doesn't work I end up with zero length recordings.

When it is working the recording will be just fine, but it takes a long time from scheduling the recording until the status changes from "pending" to "recording". Starting up live HD tv on my popcorn hour a-110 also takes around 30 seconds when it will actually start. Is this how it is supposed to be or is this just another symptom of my problem?

I attached logs from a situation where the problem was reproducible. I scheduled two recordings and restarted the recording service. The recording on tuner 1 would start consistently and the recording on tuner 2 consistently fail. However, normally there isn't such a pattern ...

Thanks a lot,

Casper

I'd be interested in hearing from HDPVR users, and what the quality of their recordings are - especially fast moving sports.

I was looking at getting one, mainly to record football from ym HD STB.

HI, I am new to GB-PVR, but it was recommended by a friend of mine as being MUCH better than Media Center. Here is my dilemma...

I have an 880e pinnacle,and it works fine with TVCenter pro, but the picture is really crappy and takes up alot of resource when running, as is expected. I was told it might run better on WMC, (or GBPVR) as TVcenter is a resource hog. but when I try to get it to work on either of these programs they dont seem to detect my tuner stick and say I dont have a tuner configured for that program, but when I go through the tuner assistant that comes with GBPVR it doesnt offer my tuner as an option, does that mean it is not compatible?
Thanks

I am looking for a couple helpers that have either an MVP or NMT to test some builds of Weather2 for me.

I do not have one of these, but there are problems with Weather2 when an update occurs with them. If you have one and would like to help me out, please let me know.

!! DISCLAIMER !! - These builds may not work properly (but I'm hoping).

Thanks!

I seem to have an issue streaming AVC files. I get sound but no picture. All other types of files seem to stream fine. I have tried using various combinations of the transcode/player options and nothing seems to work.

Using VLC 1.03, EWA 82 and GBPVR 1.3.11. Any ideas for me to try or debug?

I am at wits end trying to setup my first client machine. Both Machines are Win 7 64-bit. I have turned off the firewall on the machines and even on the router and have shared out all folders.

When I try to view recordings it works fine under file streaming but I can not watch live tv.

I have viewed my logs and it appears like the client and server are not communicating but not sure why. Any help greatly appreciated. I will enclose my logs.

Hi,

I have been able to install GBPVR as well as mvpmcx2 on my PCH A110 using the CSI - everything works great. The challenge that this method requires a HD in the PCH and I don't really need one there as I stream all my content from my computer.

As an alternative, I've been trying to use the dummies guide to install using a network share (NMTInstall program - http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=38896)

I've followed all the instructions but I cannot see the network share -- running a Windows 7 PC. I think it must be a firewall issue.. but can't figure it out, here's what I've done...


1. Enabled simple file sharing
2. Disabled password protected sharing
3. Created a guest account
4. Run the NMTInstall program - didn't get it to install GBPVR but I did ensure that the windows firewall setup scripts are run.
5. Changes security settings on c:\mvpmcx to share the folder
6. Ensured my PCH firmware is the latest and greatest
7. Changed PCH video to 1080i
8. Disabled any firewall on my router
9. Run msconfig to not boot any other program except GBPVR (to ensure no other software on the PC is creating a firewall)

When I select my PC from the network browser, it doesn't see any shares. I'm totally lost, what could I be missing? I even tried totally disabling Windows firewall and no luck.

thanks,
Steve

Running GBPVR on Windows 7 x64. Occasionally, when I select Live TV, the picture and sound will freeze after about three seconds. I can cancel Live TV, and start it again, and all is well. I've tried different decoders in Config, but that hasn't helped.
