Hi All,

Noob here, who is just a hair from getting his GBPVR box running. My final issue is changing channels with a remote and DTA.

I have an MCE2005 remote with beanbag, and IR blaster, and I'm trying to get it to work with my Comcast Pace DC50x DTA. I've "learned" the channels with the plugin and remote, but don't get any channel changing. After STF's, I'm here wondering if anyone else has found a solution to this problem...

Regards, George

Hi,

I have been banging my head against the wall for this for ages and getting nowhere. I have a PlayTV DVBT 400P tuner card installed on an XP MCE machine. Windows MCE sees all the channels fine, but I can't tune the channels on GBPVR.

Based on what I have found doing searches etc. I have made the following changes:

I have added the device to my bda.ini file as follows:

[PlayTV DVBT 400P 713x]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=713x BDA DVBT Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=713x BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

I have also changed my config.xml to read as follows:
<BDAUsePsiParser>false</BDAUsePsiParser>
<BDAPsiScanStartupSeconds>6</BDAPsiScanStartupSeconds>
<BDAPsiScanWaitSeconds>15</BDAPsiScanWaitSeconds

But when I use the config program to setup channels I don't get any known channels only a list of about 7 channels like 'Unknown1' etc...

If I select one of these channels nothing appears in the preview window.

Anybody know how I can move forward from here ?

Thanks,
JC

I thought this would be mentioned someplace but I don't see it.

the "new" vcredist file (downloaded from this site) will not install completely as the 2005 c++ version is in place and cannot be removed.

The 2005 version will not uninstall from add/remove as the original msi in /tmp can't be found.

I've googled the heck out of this, there are tons of hits about the issue, posts mentioning "download this no this no this" none of which work.

I tried downloading the version from the 1.3.7 announcement, but that as well is an exe not a .msi.

How the heck do I rip this darn 2005 version out completely?

XP sp3 here.

thanks! GVPVR 1.4.7 will not install as the new version of the vcredist isn't in place (the issue where the .ax files cause the install to break).

I'd be fine with a google link that actually worked. I've gone thru pages of "results".

I've posted before about some problems working with TS files but I've been able to work with them more and still am having problems. They play just fine but using 2 versions of Showanalyzer and Videoredo to strip the commercials, I always get a Stream Input error in Videoredo.
I've used TS Doctor to clean up the file but still get the same error. Is there anything special about these files that would cause this? Showanalyzer has worked well with mpeg and dvrms files and it's only the TS files that give me this problem.

Hi Sub,

I have noticed a problem with GB where the same show is recorded twice if the scheduled start time is changed after the initial request has been entered. This happens when a daily or weekly recording is programmed and the scheduled start time is later changed (usually delayed by 1 or 2 minutes).

GB seems to interpret this as a new recording request and assigns another tuner to the same show. The recording is duplicated even though they are on the same channel in the same general time slot.

This results in a tuner being tied up needlessly. In some cases this causes a conflict with another program and results in a lost recording. I am using version 1.47, but I have noticed this with previous versions. It just seems to be happening more frequently now in my area.

Is there any way to prevent this?

Is there a way to make the TV Listings guide the default one when bringing up the Mini Guide? If not are there any plans to incorporate it?

Is there a way to prevent navigation backwards? In other words if it's 3pm you just want people to be able to navigate forward and not backwards to say 2pm.

Also I find that if you're watching a show for say an hour. Then after it finishes you go back to the TV Guide. Instead of it going to the current time slot it stays where you left of.

I already have an HVR2200, however would like one more dvb-t card now Prime is on our Freeview, could anyone tell me if this card would be ok as it is a very good price, thanks

I'm trying to setup GBPVR on my Windows 7 X64 machine. I can't find my card under the selection in Devices. How do I get this working?

Here's my card.

I removed a folder from the collection of Directories... but some of the files in there are still showing up in Music Plugin. (I don't want my ringtone folder showing up...)

Scanning doesn't seem to remove them. Can I reset the database somehow?
