Now that I can actually do stuff with it, i've hooked up my second tuner.

As a result I now have two DVB-T tuners cards, which can both record digital terrestrial.

The question is, is there any way to make this work in a priority? So, if one tuner is in use, it'll use the second tuner? As there are 3 transponders, I can't assign a card to each transponder.

I know in some other software (eg DVB-Viewer), you can set a preferred card. But from what I can see in GB-PVR, you need to assign channels to only one card.

Any thoughts/recommendations?

For us in the United States, especially on Comcast: I don't mean to spread FUD with this subject line per se, but... well... I am fearful, uncertain, and doubtful.

Definitely worth the read.

Hi all

My first post - finally got GBPVR to work - about 6 hours changing and fiddling, not really knowing what I was doing, but getting a better idea all the time.

And it's great !!.....many thanks - a terrific program. Now for a couple of questions:

a) I'm using a Nova TD card......thought I could connect my Cable feed from the box, as well as the ext. ant. But the cable picks up no channels in GBPVR.....should I just forget about the second input socket on the card? (Aerial works fine on it's socket, though signal's not too strong on every station)

b) Recording 2 channels at the same time: I have managed it, but once I'd scheduled a recording for 9 - 10pm asking the program to record another during that period, it told me that I must cancel one or other recording sessions.....what am I missing here?

Cheers

Chris

I run the grabber by schedule everyday and gets data for all new episodes and it works beautifully.

But as English isn't our native language, we use english subtitles (thats good enough and they usually comes first).

It would be great if the Wizmetadatagrabber could search for and download subtitles as well as data and images.

Sites where I find subtitles are: http://www.tvsubtitles.net, http://www.subtitlesource.org and http://www.subtitleseeker.com that search for subs in the two first sites and in a couple of others as well.

If it is possible to get something like this to work, that would save me a lot of manual work searching, downloading and renaming files...

Calling ScheduleHelper.SheduleRecording with type TYPE_RECORD_WEEKLY seems to ignore the maxFiles argument. I worked around by using TYPE_RECORD_SEASON with a dayMask but then I need to be able to read back the dayMask.

Is there an API to query the REOCCURING_EXTRAS table specifically the max_files and day_mask fields? I can see a ReoccuringRecordingExtras class but what call gives me an instance of that class for a specific recording?

Thanks.

Just giving back to the community... it took me quite a while to perfect. for anyone who ever wanted subtitles (US NTSC & ATSC at least) but could never get it done here it is!

Generally, does an external capture card produce better quality captures than an internal card? Any thoughts on this? I think that my Hauppauge HVR-1950 (external) card produces slightly better captures than my Hauppauge HVR-1600 (internal).

I was just wondering if I am the only one that still likes K&R style code, it just seems so much more natural for me to type

Is there something special in GbPVR that needs to be done to create abd use a custom task? I created a task for Hulu Desktop, restarted the config applet, and Hulu Desktop showed up in the list of plugins as expected. However, when I start Pvrx2, the custom task does not show up in the menu. I also tried a test with something easy like notepad.exe, but it also did not show in the menu.
