looks like it could be the HD-MVP that we've been waiting for, similar form factor and price etc. Just wonder whether the geniuses (genii??) here could get the GBPVR GUI working on it?
Uninstall option missing from Control Panel. GBPVR live tv would not change channels and sound was choppy. Removed GBPVR by deleting Program Files\Devnz. Tried to reinstall 1.4.7 but receive error message: "Installation could not complete because of error". Using regedt32 as administrator; deleted all registry entries with Devnz or GBPVR. Tried to reinstall 1.4.7 but receive the same error message. Downloaded a fresh copy of 1.4.7 and tried to reinstall but receive the same error.
Let me start by saying what a wonderful piece GBPVR actually is!
Ater using GBPVR for almost a year flawlessly using an analogue tuner card, I now moved to DVB-T. And it has some challenges...
My current setup:
-Win XP( SP3), GBPVR 1.4.7, WinTV7
-Intel D945GCLF2 board (Atom 330)
-WinTV-NOVA-TD-500 (84109), of which I currently use 1 tuner.
-WinTV-CI module, Smit Conax CAM, KPN Digitenne Service (Netherlands).
-PopcornHour A-110 (although not relevant at this stage)
After doing some reading on this forum, I placed the CI dll in the GBPVR directory, and installed all channels (encrypted and non-encrypted), enabling the CI/CAM checkbox.
I do not use LiveTV mode, but Timeshift instead (since this is what my PopcornHour will do also eventually, and I need this).
Now to practice:
Watching in LiveTV mode works excellent, also on the encrypted channels.
Since I will be using my PCH and it gave me trouble watching the encrypted channels I tried following: since the PCH effectively uses Timeshift mode I also configured this in GBPVR. And it had similar impact on the attached monitor: FTA channels playing fine, however encrypted channels don't.
More detail:
The KPN Digitenne service I use has a couple of FTA channels and they work fine, also in timeshift mode.
However, this is what happens when trying to watch encrypted channels in Timeshift mode (and also recordings, but my guess is that it is effectively the same):
- From main screen, I select 'Live TV'.
- I can freely watch (of course...) the FTA channels and switch between them.
- I can switch to an encrypted channel, and it plays fine.
- I try to switch to another encrypted channel, the OSD tells me it is switching to the new channel and now picture freezes: no sound, and screen is frozen on previous encrypted channel.
- I can switch back to either the previous encrypted channel and it again plays fine (or an FTA channel and it also plays fine).
- I can leave the frozen picture, switch back to the main menu, again select LiveTV, and then the previously selected (encrypted) channel will play.
Looking at the LiveTV directory, on channel switching I see a new .ts file being created, and it grows. Using TSDoctor I see that this file is not decrypted: an encrypted file is recorded, which cannot be played back (in timeshift mode).
So the WinTV CI somehow seems to lock on to the first selected channel and stays there.
I have put some effort in this, but need to admit that I actually don't have the knowledge or insight to solve this.
But maybe someone else does?
I'd be happy to post some logs if they can be of any help, but at this stage have no clue what could be useful.
I'm trying to change the "primary subtitle language" in the settings menu but it says "protected directory enter pin code" does anyone know the pin code please.
Also on the "Misc 2" page of the config menus it shows a pin code as ******
does anyone know what this is please. which is probably the same as the first question
Can anyone please tell me how to stop DVBT subtitles being recorded when I record TV programs as I dont want them and they are most annoying when viewing anything I've recorded.
Thank you
HI,
I'm sure this is straight forward but I can't find the answer.
DVB-T broadcasts in Auckland NZ, with HVR-2200 card on XP, Nvidea 8400GS card
I can watch Live TV, but I can't pause it.
I can record TV, but I can't watch what I have recorded.
I have another PC running GBPVR and on that PC I can watch what I recorded on the PC I am having problems with.
I have Cyberlink Power DVD 8 codecs installed, however when using this for TV playback it is not continuous (stops and starts and distorts), If I use the Main concept decoder then it plays smoothly.
What do I need to do to setup playback of the .ts files?
I have a Hauppauge PVR-350 tuner. Since I've upgraded to Windows 7, the TV application that came with the card (WinTV) won't work. So I found your program, but I have a problem to configure it:
I downloaded the program from this forum and installed it without problems. When I start PVRX2 i come to the main menu (I think), but nothing happens when I click on 'Live TV'. I think I have to configure the program first, but when I open 'Config' in the Start Menu, or the config.exe in the main directory, a 'do you want to allow'-message appears, but after pressing Yes, nothing happens.
I found all my channels with the TuningAssistent.exe, but I seem to have no effect for the main program.
Is this (config menu won't show up) a common problem with Windows 7 or have I missed something? I tried to run it in compatibility modus and with administrator rights (but it ask for them anyway at every start), but tehre is still no sign of a configuration menu...
I've been using WizMetadata for downloading cover art and meta data from the internet for video files not recorded using gbpvr, which is working very nicely indeed, however it would be nice if I could then rename these into a standard naming convention based on the metadata downloaded? I looked at WizRenameRecording however this seems only to work for files recorded by GBPVR. Any suggestions?
I need to replace my eight year old Dell computer. I currently have Time Warner Cable, a PVR-150 and three Media MVPs. I thought I could just swap the PVR-150 into a new computer, plug in the MVPs and be good to go as before. However, I see that the new PCs have something called PCI Express. The one I'm looking at has one PCIeX1 slot and one PCIeX16 slot.
Will the PVR-150 plug into either of these slots?
