I have updated the NMTInstall program so that a new version is not required for each update. Instead a file is downloaded from mvpmc.org and you can chose the updates you'd like. All the zip and 7z decoding is built in as in control of the Recording Services.

This will control updates to GBPVR and mvpmcx2 including new versions of GBPVR too.

Version checking has also been added so NMTInstall will not overwrite GBPVR with obsolete files on an update.

If you want to browse the updates that are currently managed here is the file http://www.mvpmc.org/~mvallevand/NMTInstall.xml If I miss any important updates let me know.

A tip for others who may have this:

I noticed that if multiple transponders provide the same channels, GBPVR always select the last one scanned (the one with the higest frequency). Which is not always the best one. In case of Digitenne, rarely is the best one.

For example, I live inbetween Rotterdam, Goes and Roosendaal, the latter is the least weak one. Because of some odd radio wave harmonics or something, I get a bit of Lopik too, but very weak. It is last one scanned (the highest frequency) so the one GBPVR picks...

My solution was to edit a custom channel file, called Roosendaal (attached), in which I used information from here to add Goes and Rotterdam first (so I get the regional FTA) but Roosendaal last, so the generic channels are taken from that transponder.

C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\BDA\DVB-T\0137-roosendaal.ini

Is there someway to have GBPVR send an additional "command" after the channel change numbers are sent on to HIP? I want to be able to send an "pre-programmed exit" about 1sec after the channel change details. (The "exit" is a button on our decoder remote"

The reason is as follows:
Our satelite decoder displays channel info for about 5 seconds everytime a channel is changed. We press "exit" on the decoder remote and it clears it. This cannot be turned off on the decoder nor do we want to. But we have no control over it when a recording does a channel change.

I am guessing we can "read" the "exit" into hip on a standard button of mce remote. But how can i have this included after the channel change command is sent from GBPVR to HIP.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can't seem to pick up the channels. Tried installing the later version that was provided in one of the threads but still doesn't help so went back to the wiki version. It searches and then comes back, and shows none found. I am receiving Live Tv and recording of this tuner so all is working from that side, and if I use the software that comes with it, I can pick up radio stations.

If I could get this to work, it would make me a very happy person! Logs attached.

Hi folks,

I've been using Ultra2-rc1 for awhile now without any problems, but the last couple of times I've tried to enhance the epg, I get a dialog box with the word "Lock". I try to close the box but it immediately comes back so I have to use task manager to shut down Ultra2. I use Schedules Direct for epg info and don't have any problem with the data that comes down, I just can't enhance it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey,
My EPG is in Hebrew and GBPVR is working fine with that, but the RSS show ??? instead of Hebrew in feeds.
Is there a way to get it to work?

Hi,

Is there some way to set how many minutes before
a scheduled recording the computer should wakeup from standby?
A general setting that is, not per recording...

During the past 7-8 years I have "burned-out" 3 DVRs (a Sony, Pani & Toshiba). Needless to say - I record and watch a lot of cable TV and movies. I am tired of purchasing a $ 600+ DVR every several years. My Toshiba just went out about 2 wks ago, along with about 16 "unwatched" shows.

I am a Network Systems Admin and have been working with PCs for about 15 yrs. I am ready to build my "own" DVR(PVR). I have a Dish Network HD box and a Samsung 52" LCD HD 1080i, 120 MHz flat panel (both less than 6 months old). So I got a "specially priced" Dell Vostro 420 tower, Quad Core/2.66 Ghz/1333 FSB/6 GB (800Mhz) DDR2 Memory, 256 ATI Radeon HD 3450, two - 250 GB SATA 7200RPM HDD, 16 DVD+/- RW Drive & WIN XP Pro SP3.

I realize this is an "overkill" but I do not want to "ever" have to purchase another DVR. All I want to do is to "record" off of my Dish box to my new Dell PC and then (at a later time) watch my shows/movies when I want to.
[I would like to out put from the PC to my Samsung using HDMI connection]

I want to use GBPVR software. The only other thing I need is a really good "video capture" card. Could someone give me a recommendation? And if I am missing or overlooking anything else - please let me know. Any and all suggestions or comment are welcomed !! TIA amorg7777

Hi

So heres the story, installed Office 2007, it installed .NET 2, in an update it decided to install .NET 3 (so both are now installed), i then installed Microsoft Expression Web 2 which installed .NET 3.5, ive found out i cant uninstall .NET 2 and .NET 3 until you uninstall from 3.5 then 3 then 2...

Whats with this, .NET EATS space... ideas anyone? what can i get away with here?

I have a few older computers laying around the house gathering dust. I would like to convert one of them into a NMT like device running some flavor of Linux (because its free). Yes, I know about Mythbuntu, but for the sake of this thread, lets focus on a linux box that can act as a client to GBPVR set up elsewhere in your home.
First question:
I believe that this is possible, but I am not familiar with the inner workings of GBPVR. Does anyone know that this kind of set up is not Possible (or conversely, does anyone know absolutely that this kind of setup should work.

I am considering a PIII 800 machine using a 256MB video card with TV out. Ram is at 786Mb. 10Gb hard drive.

Any other discussion?
