i use the direct tv receiver H20 and IR blaster with a Hauppauge PVR150.
I can change channels in the watch live tv part fine but if i set up a recording
when it tunes to the channel the receiver turns off, needless to say my recordings are black screens. this just started happening lately but was happening with
the last 2 versions i know, and may be directv's firmware? i dont know.

anyone ever heard of this or know a fix?

I'm seeing two new problems with the MediaMVP which are new since upgrading to 1.4.7 for 1.3.11.

1. Black screen after hitting stop during live TV
   
2. Commercial skip timing badly inaccurate
   

Hi

I get a black menu screen on startup. The program is running because I can hear the "click" sound as I blindly move through the menu.

Everything worked fine until I changed my 6200LE for the 6600GT and installed the new drivers for that card. This was about two months ago. I've been too busy to work on the problem. I decided to fix it today.

I just installed the latest GBPVR release and the latest video drivers from NVIDIA. Neither one has fixed the problem. Everything else on the PC works as it should. I must be missing something simple.

Thanks in advance for the help.

For some reason, none of the cable channel scans options in the (BEAUTIFUL!) new interface are picking up my USA cable 5 channel frequency, 77250 MHz. I had the same problem on my last build and used to overcome it using qam.ini manager as described here:

http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=3...stcount=13

...and in fact I helped whurlston realize qam.ini manager was forcing the wrong frequency, too, which triggered his latest revision.

It looks like the new scan interface doesn't allow qam.ini manager to meddle, so I am trying to manually scan 77250 Mhz, on which Comcast sends me two channels. The manual scan button, which allows me to specify just this channel/frequency, just picks up the first one over and over again, slowly filling up the screen (with only one attempt - I am not initiating the scan more than once):



What's the easiest way to definitely get gbpvr to pick up both channels on 77250 Mhz?

Thank you!

I've been using GB-PVR for about a year, now, and it suddenly stopped recording. The service is running, I have loads of free space on the drive, and pvrx2 starts, but when I try to watch TV, the screen either stays black or goes back to the guide. What's up? There are no errors on in the event viewer, or anywhere that I can see.

the updates to bda.ini that were previously discovered are still needed...
could you please add this to next version to keep it in new versions?
[can't think of any reason not to have it]
for [AVerMedia M780]
SHARED_NAME=AVerMedia M780 digital

lack of a shared name for this dual tuner card results in conflicts...

just glad i caught it before it was too late after upgrade..
thanx..

Hi

I just bought a NTM A-110 and happily installed it tonight, have been using a MVP för a few years now and have been quite happy with that.

After installing with the NMTInstall (upgraded to 1.4.7) I could get no further, I have tried almost everything I can think of and have gotten a bit on the way.

My problem lies in my mediaserver with the Network browser. I do have Simple filesharing enabled. But I cannot access the mvpmc share on the machine (not from my other computers either, no matter what credentials I try) so there are most definatly something wrong with the server. I do have a couple of shares that I CAN access and when I put the files in one of those folders I can view GB-PVR.html but get no further...

And trying to access the share with other credentials (including Administrator) will not work either.

Is a complete re-install of the server the only option or can this installation be saved (I have been thinking of building a new system but as we are currently rebuilding our kitchen so I thought I would limit the expenses a bit)?

Hope you can follow my problem, I feel quite tired and will try to perhaps make more sense tomorrow.

I haven't used my MVP in a long time, but following the 1.4.7 upgrade I decided to give it a run round the houses to check I hadn't done something daft and wouldn't you know it...
It appears that the MVP reboots if the filename is long. I haven't got to the exact length when the reboot occurs, but it would seem to be happening with filenames (including path) of more than 120 characters.
In looking in the MVP log it just looks like the MVP quits (see below)

I'm running from XP with the standard dongle.

GBPVR has been stable for me for so long, I've forgotten how to fix things! What have I broken?

Yesterday I recorded a TV show (DVB-C) that has a strange start and end time in the time line of the OSD on the PCH. But when I play it with GBPVR on my PC the timeline is fine, and skipping works to. I do notice that GBPVR has some trouble getting the right end time, the seconds change a lot in the beginning of the file.
I've had several of these recordings lately, and the problem is that I can't skip forward (or backward) with that messed up timeline. There probably are some reception errors in the file, but since it plays in the PC client, I'd like the same behaviour in mvpmcx2

I have been running my system without issues for some time. I just installed a DVD drive. When I play video on it, the picture 'shimmies' from side to side. It occasionally stops the side to side and plays correctly, but then starts it again.
I have the same problem when viewing w/ windows media player as well as gbpvr.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
