I would like to be able to view all available movies from the TV guide in a list then be able to choose if I want to record them or not. It would be even nicer if I could input only the channels I would like to see movies from and ignore all the others since many channels I have no interest in what is on them anyway. Just a thought instead of going through the guide for every day for each individual channel. Maybe a plugin already does this but Im not sure.

Yesterday I posted about some MVP nostalgia and if you like the MVP price I noticed that the original PCH A100 is now being sold online http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/i...efurbished for $99 US with a 90 day warranty. It doesn't have all the features of the current models like the EGreat or the A110 most importantly no DTS downmix, the price is pretty good if your prime need is GBPVR content.

I'v been botherd for a while with this problem and found that filenames with "_" (underscore) not followed by a number seems to crash vidimport/gbpvr, the filename:

"D:\GBPC\The Cosmos_ A Beginners Guide\The Cosmos_ A Beginners Guide_20090719_17301800.avi"

makes it crash and no file is imported. Can someone come up with a fix for it quickly please?

Hi.
I have one .TS recording here and i cannot make it working under GB-PVR 1.3.11 (no plugins installed).
I didnt think it is codec problem, becouse i can play orher TS (h.264) without an problem (using my SAF pack).

Acordings to LOG, it look like GB-PVR failed to obtain correct information from TS:

I seem to have photo library plugin which works fine but some of the pictures are in portrait format (up and down rather than sideways) and the program shows then on their sides. I have tried turning them with various programs (Windows picture and fax viewer and photoshop) and they display fine in those programs but still sideways in photo viewer or the screensaver.
Is there a setting or a way to fix this. Should i use Photos plugin or picture library instead?

I've got a 1TB sata WD Caviar Black. Ran a real format, ntfs, with XP Computer Management after hooking it up instead of a quick format because I wanted to make sure it was 100%. It's been 6 hours and it just passed 10% (it has been progressing at an even rate). I knew it would take a while, but 60 hours? That seems excessive. It didn't take that long to ship cross country (free no less).

Am I just whining/is that a normal format rate? Or is that a sign of a problem like XP is finding and blocking off bad sectors or something else? Would a quick format + a separate surface scan take just as long?

Thanks =)

Hi all, looking for a recommendation for a video card to play and assist with decoding NZ DVB-T freeview. I understand this implies only an nVidia 8X or 9X card due to ATi driver issues and ability to assist playback of H264 video.

To add complication, I want to install this card in a Shuttle XPC case, so space is very tight (won't fit bulky heatsink/fan combination) and the power supply is a pathetic 250W.

I am sure an 8400GS card would fit and comply with the power contraint, but will it play the H264 1080i video in conjunction with 2.8Ghz celeron-D CPU?

Otherwise I expect an 8500GT type might work but they are hard to find now. What about the 9500 cards?

Oh, it needs to be TV-Out component video. No HDMI on the TV.

Look forward to any comments,

Cheers,
JohnO

I recently set up gbpcr with comcast, using a dvico qam card on the pc, schedules direct for epg, and mvpmcx2 on a A110 via network browse. Works great for the most part, except I have this recurring problem. When witching channels on live tv via the arrow keys, I get a second or two of the new channel, then the screen goes black, and after several seconds I get thrown back to the tv guide. Live tv works great if I don't try to switch channels.

Any idea what's wrong?

Hi, firstly apologies for the long post - a reflection of my frustration level and lack of knowledge of what is happening.

I have run the Hauppage WinTV software which quickly scans, detects and shows all the local channels (sydney's inner west).

Yet I am unable to get a single scan from gbpvr that includes all channels. Repeated scans eventually leads to the full collection of channels (after manually compiling my own cache scan file) but even after that i get some channels that show the "signal strength" message.

Note that after LOTS of testing in different configurations (passive splitter, active splitter at different levels, using different outlets in the house, turning on other tvs in an effort to "reduce" the signal strength {does that do anything ?}, gbpvr reinstall) I still do not have a way to reproduce reliable results ie the scans seem pretty random on what channels they find.

Channel Seven is a stayer, abc/one/ten most times, nine sometimes, and SBS hardly ever.

Is there any reason WinTV would pick up all channels while gbpv is somewhat more picky ? Any thoughts on troubleshooting this would also be appreciated. I did not want to attach log files until I could get a consistent result. Feel free to state the obvious as I am just getting started.

Thanks in advance.

This is a new install running 1.3.11 with HVR 2200 (WinXP with latest hauppauge card drivers).

Hi folks,

I'm toying with the idea of getting something like an ATI Radeon HD 4550 to see if hardware upscaling from an SD satellite broadcast to 720p or 1080p is worth doing.

Anyone doing this on one of the new Radeons?

Bill.
