I had it, but lost it - after a HD crash I have rebuilt the installation with new HW, but can't get back to where I was...
The channels scan correctly,and I can map them, but the video is lagging heavily, the Config -> Digital Channel Mapping preview takes minutes to load the stream, LiveTV is equally bad and recordings useless...
The native DigiTV sw says that the signal strength and quality is 70%, I am using the same cable to my TV where the DVB-T has no problem with signal.
Codecs and such aren't really my area, so I really don't know where to start :-(

Assuming large wholesale changes could be done, what changes would like to see in the UI?
If there is aspects of other apps that you like, try to give me a brief description, or maybe point me at a youtube video that happens to show that feature (giving me a time reference if it's in longer bigger video).
Maybe there is features you've seen in your set top box that you'd like?
I am not sure if this is a gbpvr problem or a windows issue, but after the epg update, the pc does not go back to standby. But after the recording the pc has no problem to go back to sleep.
The update is scheduled for 3 a.m. I had a look at the log and at 3:18 the log tells that the epg data is stale and of a retry with delay. At 5:00 the scan starts again. Could this be the reason why the pc stays awake? If yes, is it possible to turn of the retry option? The update should run every day, so I would accept stale data.
I was trying to follow the Wiki to set up IR Server Suite to blast, but there is no C:\Program Files\IR Server Suite\IR Blast\ directory, so no C:\Program Files\IR Server Suite\IR Blast\IRBlast.exe
First off, let me say how happy i am i found this wonderful software. I tried 3 others and they all had one or more serious drawback for my use. GB-PVR is almost perfect.
Now to the "almost" part.
On my lcd (sony 40w5500) i have it set to smart view, which basicly means it zooms in a bit to maximize screen use while only loosing a little picture. Otherwise there often is black bars visible around the edge, when playing files.
This creates a problem when i enter the video library because it cuts off the left most letters of the file names.
What i need is a way to change the placement of the file list on the screen, ie. move it a little to the right. Can this be done?
Thank you for a great program, i hope you have a suggestion for my little problem as GB-PVR would then reach prefection for me.
I had the service crash after a sequence of events. The failures were at teh beginning of shows, so I am not sure this is related to the crash you are already working on.
Logs attached.
On 11-24-09 at 18:58, NCIS began recording (2 minute pre), and recorded successfully. At 20:00, it stopped recording, no post due to next show on same channel. This program played back just fine.
At 20:00, NCIS-LA was supposed to record. Later at night, we found it did not show up in pending, new, or ready, as success or fail. No record it was ever scheduled to record. We figured we blew it. However, log (GBPVRRecordingService.exe-1.log) shows that it attempted to record, and got an error. No error showed up in MS system event log at this point, no error popped up, and recording service status showed "sleeping", so this is not like prior hangs. We had no idea.
Then, next morning, "who wants to be a Millionaire" did not record. 11-25-09 at 11:28. This is at teh very end of the same file. No error in the log, but the log just ends. Status still showed "sleeping", so I had no idea the recording service had died (still no idea since the night before). This time, however, it really completely died, and the event viewer shows an error. I found a DrWatson minidump on this crash, attached.
On the evening of 11-25, CSI-NY was supposed to record, and most of the way through I turned on TV and saw status at "sleeping". I restarted recordingservice, adn the recording started.
SO, to differentiate from teh other failure you were looking at:
1. The shows did not start to record. It was not a failure during recording.
2. First time, no MS event dump
3. No indication recording failed (otehr recordings missed indicate failed after I restarted service)
4. I just looked, NCIS-LA created a file that is only 6kb long, and dated 11/25/09 at 11:28am, when the service crashed upon trying to record millionaire. I'll upload that too.
5. Attempted recordings were again channel 13, but in SD, not HD.
I recently updated to the latest AVer drivers. I am running AVer M780 card, digital COmcast cable. Lots of dish space available (just installed a 1TB drive) on both C and D. No other crashes/faults on computer recently.
