I've tried a few USB tuner cards and have had to return them all, because of horrible, packaged software that demands too much of my computer.

Will GBPVR run on my system? I have an old Sony VAIO notebook with an IGP. My RAM and CPU exceed the system requirements, but I don't know if my GPU is sufficient. Here's what I have:

CPU: Mobile Intel Pentium 4 3.20 GHz
RAM: 1 GB
HDD: 5400 RPM 70 GB (approx 10 GB free)
GPU: ATI Radeon IGP 345M 64 MB shared VRAM
USB: 2.0 powered
OS: Windows XP SP3
Line-In: Analog Cable-TV (NTSC)

Can I watch TV using this hardware? I'd be using an external NTSC tuner via USB. Recording is not a priority; I just want to watch the cable TV I'm paying for (I don't own a TV).

Thanks!

I've installed and reinstalled everything about 5 times, used the correct vcredist_x86, deletedthe devnz folder under users, as all suggested on other threads, to no avail. I'm using a Nova T 500 tuner in NZ. The EPG guide is missing TV1,2,6 and 7 but getting all the others. Whenever I try to watch Live TV it's just blank. Here are my logs. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello dears,
I would like to give notice about the problem with wake-up functionality.

If I do the following steps:
- schedule manually new recording for example for 5:00 am ,
- close GBPVR software
- go to GBPVR again, update pending recording: change the time from 5:00 am to 10:00 am

The effect will be:
- computer wakes up at 5:00, but nothing records
- if will be computer at 10:00 on, recording will be done, but if computer will be in stand-by mode, it doesn't wake up and nothing will be recorded


Simple said: update of date/time in pending recording doesn't update wake-up events .

You can also see it in GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log .
I have done exactly these steps and file contained only first setting of wake-up event:

Is it possible to repair this bug or is there any way to avoid this bug ? ( also "deletion" of update button in detailed screen for pending recording would be better than AS-IS state )

Thanks a lot

I've been successfully controlling my PC with an IR receiver connected to my Haup 250 card. I updated motherboard drivers, and my HD-PVR is now receiving IR commands and the 250 is not. I'm using the Hauppauge IR software by the way. This is a problem for me since my gear is located in the basement and connected to my TV in the level above. I built a longer cable for the IR receiver and things were working great, I cannot use the IR on the HD-PVR since it's away from the TV. Any suggestions?

Not sure what I did, but I messed something up. I've always used the network browser on the pch to connect to gbpvr. But now when I click on Network browser it doesn't show my network, it just shows "NFS server". I've tried rebooting my pc and my pch numerous times to no avail. I didn't mess around with any of my shares or anything.

I have a plasma TV and sometimes the wife will pause live TV or a recorded movie to answer the phone and end up speaking for hours before she gets back to the TV. I would love it if we could set a timeout for how long PVRX2 will pause before it automatically invokes the screensaver.

i was wondering if someone who knew about speakers could tell me if this sub (hehe) would be powerful enough for a home theatre

i want to get a couple of subs i can place in the wall

TIA

Hi, anyone got one of these working? The lifeview softtware finds it and it works but gbpvr finds no channels, it is listed as compatible! If I tell gbpvr to only show connected devices it calls it a flyview dvb-t

Trying to download new skins, and nothing is showing up. Downloading, opening the zip files, and installing. Going to config, and nothing is there.

Any ideas on what might be wrong? Trying to download Community Skins, Blue Glow WS.

Could PVRX2 be enhanced to read an in-progress comskip file during playback, so that commercials detected to that point can be skipped automatically?
