When Comcast first switched the standard cable channels like USA, ESPN, TNT, etc to QAM, I could receive them on my 1600. Recently, they moved them from the 70's & 80's to the 20's, 30's & 40's. The SD signals for the local channels are still in the 80's. Now, I can't get anything on my 1600. My 2 TV's still get the unecrypted channels on QAM at the new locations.

I got an 1800 since some people said that the QAM tuner in the 1600 wasn't always able to handle weak signals. It can't get anything either. I tried using the cable that is going into the 4-way splitter that I use since I need to feed my TV, a 500, an STB feeds the 1800 analog, a DTA that feeds the 1600 analog & the QAM tuner in either the 1600 or 1800. (Note for those of you counting along at home, the signal to the TV & STB gets split after coming off the 4-way.) Even without the splitter, I still couldn't get them.

When I tried WinTV 7 & TSReader Lite, they don't get anything either. (I'm not positive how to tell TSReader Lite which card to use. If you hold the ctrl key while it is starting, you can select the tuner. I don't know which is device 0 & which is device 1 or if it even sees both.)

I tried re-arranging the mess of wires behind my system so the TV cables don't go near power cables since that can cause problems.

This is my lineup from silicondust: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/lin...up_1299886 If you click that link, you might still need to select Comcast from the provider dropdown.

I tried a lot of different values in the qam.ini. Actually, now I've been using the qam-custom.ini, but I can see config using my values. For instance, the local SD stations are at channel 82. In the past, I configured channel 82 as 570250 with the 1600 & it worked. On the DTA it says 571.750 MHz when I hold the info button to get into the status screens. I tried 570000 (subtracting 1750 for the Hauppauge); I tried 571750; I tried 571000; I tried 572000; still nothing.

Some info screens from the DTA:

When trying to adjust the settings through the PVRX2 menu. I was able to choose the Skin but when I tried to change the Default Suspend, Defualt Recording view, or Startup behavior. I ended up with an error that caused PVRX2 to lock up. I suspect it has something to do with the Comm. Skin. I have attached the log.

Seems to be a pretty good deal on this card? Will it work with GB-PVR? I couldn't seem to find it on the list. There is a Wonder model but it doesn't seem to be exactly the same.

Anyone else seeing slowness when playing a program using the Play Program button in EWA?

I'm using GB-PVR 1.4.7 with the included EWA and VLC 1.0.3. When I use the Play Program button in EWA there is about a 45 second delay before the program plays in VLC. I see this same delay if I skip ahead in the program using a keyboard shortcut or using the slider in VLC. This only occurs when I use EWA on the same host on which GBPVR is running. If I connect from another host (on my LAN) there is no delay. Similarly, if I simply open the file GBPVR has saved using VLC on the GBPVR host, there is no delay. Wierd.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks,

To avoid config.xml where is the best location for a plugin specific XML file?
I was originally thinking

Last night I did something stupiod and tried to change my channel lineup from Schedules Direct while PVRX2 was recording.

This morning, when I tried to run Config it would start and then not respond or use any more CPU cycles. Each time I tried to run it it would get as far as the Task Manager screen capture shows and go no further.

If I tried to END PROCESS config in Task Manager it wouldn't do anything. It owuldn't hang but it wouldn't kill it. If I ran Config again I would just end up with another instance of Config.

I tried the sc delete "GB-PVR Recording Service" and was successful with that but when I re-ran the 147.msi installation program and tried to have it repair things and even when it ran successfully, I still had the problem with config.

I tried reinstalling the vcredist_86 to see if that was the problem and still no luick. I even restored my computer to a coule days ago before the last Windows Update was installed and this didn't help.

I had Windows do error checking on hte C: Drive. Unfortunately, I wasn't watching while it did that so I am not sure whether it found any errors and how many there were.

Now, when I try to run the gbpvr147.msi file I get a popup saying Internal Error 2753 in Config.exe.

I've tried uninstalling GBPVR and all sorts of combinations.

Right now, GBPVR is not installed on my computer and I can't seem to reinstall it.

What should I do to get out of this problem?

I have a problem with images sometimes blurring when in motion, sometimes to a fairly extreme extent. However, at other times (even the same shows from the same channel) there is very little, if any, of this.

I have been noticing the blur for awhile, but I was surprised, when catching up on a series, to find that some episodes were blurry and some were not. I happen to have some of the same episodes on a commercial PVR, where no blur is evident. There was even one that developed the problem halfway through. I have therefore ruled out the playback codecs and renderers, and decided that the problem must be in recording some broadcasts.

I have backtracked carefully to determine what else might have been happening during the "blurry" recordings (e.g. other shows recording, system maintenance tasks), but have not been able to establish any correlation.

A related issue: The problem seems reduced when I watch at 60Hz. (This seems odd, considering that broadcasts are in PAL, at 25 or 50Hz.) However, the a/v sync sometimes (only sometimes) gradually drifts when I watch at 60Hz.

Hi

I'm setting up gbpvr for my mum to use just as a video file player.

I have a portable USB HD - F: - in windows.

I've gone into the config program and in the Directories tab i have added F:\ in the Video Library Directories.

I've then shut the config program down and done a reboot fo the PC.

When I am in the main program and go to the video library I get the [default] which is C:\, and a couple of other directories, but I don't see F:\

I've gone back to check in teh config program and F:\ is appearing in the Video Libray Directories

Does anyone had an idea of what I am doing wrong :confused:

Can someone give me basic comparison of the features and lack of feaures of the different Hauppauge WinTV-HVR cards? 1250,1600, 1850, and 2250.

Thanks
