I was mucking around today making some channel logos for the TV guide for the SBS channels that we are getting at the moment off satellite & thought maybe some other NZ users may find them useful so I zipped up all my current channel logos & have attached them to this message. Make sure they have the same name as your channel name ie. if you have a channel called "Maori TV" rename the logo "Maori Television.jpg" to "Maori TV.jpg".
IT would be nice if there was a way to change the retention settings of recurring recordings without having to delete/re-make the record event. I find that when i go away i have the need to save more shows so i don't miss something.
The ability to be able to do this through the web interface would be the best.

I have several devices (TV, Reciever, LCD display) that have serial connectivity and can accept commands from a PC. I was wondering if it would be possible to have GBPVR send commands out of the serial port on program events (i.e. volume up/down, recording start/stop, channel change, transcoding start).
I had rebuilt my computers and here is my current setup:
Server: Windows Home Server
GBPVR Computer: Windows XP Pro, Radeon 9200SE, PVR-150
2 MediaMVP
I installed ran in a few snags during install, but I eventually manage to install everything without errors. There are a few issues remaining:
1- Slick skin: there seems to be a few images missing, as indicated in the log files. I also don't get the same background as the skin preview image, but rather a blue one. Anyway to fix that?
2- Running GBPVR on the computer, the screen will go all black for a second or two from time to time when using the DVI out of the Radeon card. This happens either when viewing videos or just browsing the main menu. For example, scrolling through options on the main menu, the screen disappears every 2 or 3 options. When switching to VGA output, everything works well. GBPVR is the only apps I have problem with DVI out.
3- On the MVP, I can't browse the video library. The Videos are stored on the server, so in the config I have define [Videos] to \\Server\Videos. In the Video Library on the MVP I see [Videos], but nothing happens when I select it. Browsing the Video Library works fine from the GBPVR Computer.
Hi, I have an ASUS U3000 Mini USB card. The drivers and TV signal seem to be okay, because I got to see some BBC news in the little preview window while I was setting up EGB. When I click on Live TV in the GBPVR executable, it just redisplays the menu, instead of playing a channel. It doesn't show an error message, so I don't know what to do next. Any ideas please?
I've had it working last week, but then I could not playback on my h264 recordings due to my low spec computer.
So I started fiddling around with PowerDVD9 and 8 installing/uninstalling until I got playback working there. Now ARCSoft could not find the HD-PVR so I uninstalled/installed some more until I now can record and view 'live' from ARCSoft.
I've tried to find out exactly where to look but it seems that I get different quirks depending on what I try...
What I have found out:
Selecting a program from the TV-guide shows the correct channel and the picture and sound is fine. Now I can do this a couple of times but sometime even this stops working. (At one time it selected a completely different channel from my HVR-1300 card instead...) Either with having on a black picture or just throwing me back to the TV-guide.
Recording don't work from the Tv-guide nor directly from "live view" (I have not enabled live view in GBPVR).
The top-light on HD-PVR never goes on (as it does when recording with ARCSoft)
I thought I saw that HD-PVR reports bitrate 0 sometime, but I can't see it now.
I know this a lot of loose things but I would gladly take any advice on where to go from here...

I've been a long time user of gbpvr using a Wintv-usb2 recorder under XP Home. I recently moved and had to change cable provider. Verizon does not offer analog cable and requires a settop box. So I have been trying to set up a Hauppauge MCE Remote/IRBlaster to work with GBPVR and change the STB channel.
Using HIP and the alternative drivers for the remote I have been able to get the IR blaster to change channels fairly reliably when in the TV Guide and Live TV (CH + and -) modes.
However, it is not changing channels when I try to record programs. It seems to record video fine, but can't change the channel.
Their is a strange problem with my computer that I have never seen happen before, and it just started happening. I can turn the monitor off (whether manually by pushing the button or using power saver auto shutoff) and everything is fine. The problem comes when the monitor turns back on. For some reason when the monitor turns back on the computer restarts. I can't seem to figure out what is causing this to happen. Any suggestions? :confused: Would hardware information be helpful?
