Hi,

Since we've switched to digital here in West Wales, I'm unable to get any channels in GBPVR.

I've tried scanning & scanning & scanning....

I'm running 1.4.7 on an XP Pro PC with 2.5G ram.
Using 2 x Nova-T 90002 PCI cards with proper external aerial.

Bizarrely, I downloaded and installed Hauppage's WinTV7 and that's picked up all the channels I used to see in GB-PVR. I guess that proves the cards & aerial work.

No doubt I'm missing something obvious and any advice & suggestions will be eagerly welcome.

I attached the zipped log files.

Thanks

Robin

Hi,

Anyone tried these? Do they work reliably? Or are they too good to be true!!

I've read here that you need to make an inbound rule to get EWA to work from outside the network.

What specific application (exe file) needs access?

I think that this should be in the help section for setting up remote access of the EWA as I can't remember what I had it set up as on XP and I can't find it on the forums.

I am using 1.4.7 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
8600GT
Q9300
4Gb Memory
64 Bit Creative Sound Card
This computer is a client using file sharing.
Settings are: EVR, MPV, MPA, AC3

My problem is with the OSD, when it is up my sound cracks up but is perfect once it goes down.

EDIT to add: I have changed the config xml to limit OSD frame buffer which reduces the problem significantly.

The money is about the same with this hot deal:

I found a 9.99 off code that will just about balance out the shipping cost.
What do you think, PVR gurus? All things equal and most popular channels being available in digital, and I have a 250 for analog already.

Hi,

I know this is dealt with other places on the forums, but have battled to make sense of it, and how I can resolve my issues.

Simply, if I play a video at 1280x720 through GBPVR it stutters every few seconds, but if I play it through media player on the same pc it runs fine.

Things I have tried:
1) using FFMpeg to drop the bitrate to less than 1000k/s. Quality obviously is a shocker but playback still stutters (using a qscale of 31)
2) Reduce resolution. Anything above 720x576 stutters, but at 720x576, even using a qscale of 2 or 3, it plays fine, so I assume it can't be bitrate.
3) Have tried (all separately), changing from VMR9 custom to exclusive, changed the decoder from FFDShow to default to Cyberlink.
4) I have manually changed the CPU priority for PVRx2.EXE to high

What I have figured out, I think, is that every few seconds, something in GBPVR is spiking the CPU usage, which makes the video stutter. I found this through playing the video through Media Player, whilst having GBPVR running in the background.

I know the specs question will come up: Athlon XP2400+ 2Gb Ram, MX440 graphics card.

Is there anything I should look out for in GBPVR that is spiking the CPU usage on a regular basis, or do I have to just accept that for my PC, GBPVR will not playback HD?

Thanks

I do believe that this is a problem outside of PVRX2 - but I am running out of ideas.....

Since some time back the picture quality on channels on one specifix mux has gradually gone from bad (stuttering, glitches) to a more binay - zero. As wife complaints has increased during the above quality degradation I really need to do something.

My setup is basically:

• OS = WinXP SP3
  
• DriverVer=08/04/2009 - 2.124.27191.1 (same problem with other drivers = 2.119.25023 etc)
  
• Card = Hauppauge HVR-1300
  

Not sure what I've done to mess up my system. Over the last couple weeks, I added a new video card (Radeon HD4650), and a webcam. Somewhere along the line Comcast changed their cable lineups as well.

I started having trouble getting QAM channels on my HVR-1600, so I rescanned my QAM, and re-mapped several channels. The rescan worked fine I found all my channels, sound and video displayed in the tool.

However, now, in PVRX2, QAM does not play at all, no video, no sound.

Attached are logs that show attempts to watch tv:

Channel 5 - qam SD
Channel 105 - qam HD
Channel 529 - analog

In this example, even the analog does not work. If I choose the analog channel first (comcast STB), it will display, and as long as I stay on analog channel (STB), everything works. But as soon as I go to a QAM only channel, no video, no sound...

Any ideas?

I should note, I re-installed WinTV 7, it finds and displays the channels fine.

I have had certain shows setup to record 5 shows only. However, over time it appears as though something becomes broken as some shows maintain the maximum number of shows and delete the old while others grow beyond the maximum number I've established.

How do I fix this and get it established again? I even tried deleting the recurring request and started the recurring again..

Any help would be appreciated

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am so tired of this I am at the point of paying for a solution. My capture card is an ATI TV Wonder Elite. I have a required cable box so using the tv tuner is out of the question. I tried setting things up using composite, external tuner, but when I start PVRX2 and click on Live TV it does nothing. I have read every forum and can't see anywhere where I have gone wrong with the config. Is it possible I have to set up the tuner as a capture source before setting up the composite, external tuner? If this is so how can I do this when my cable source requires my cable box?
