OK, I have gone into config and added a source with my TechnoTrend C-1500 only when I got to the settings there is no UK in the list, still I scanned on all countries, but found nothing??
Can someone tell me why I am unable to capture any TV channels from my satellite dish? I am trying to scan Astra 2D channels.
If I connect the same LNB to my sky set top box or use VideoMate S350 2.5 software on my PC, I can receive all the channels.
I am using the VideoMate S350 DVB-S PCI Tuner card.
If I eventually manage to scan the satellite channels will the EPG work OK.
I already use GB-PVR for UK digital free view via an aerial and it is superb which is why I want to extend its use to satellite.
:mad:
I love the fact that I can setup a picture gallery under GBPVR.
I am using the "web" interface from Firefox.
Is there a way I can get it to display a matrix of thumbnails when you select a directory in the tree???
When I played with PVRX2 I seem to remember that it had the concept of a "MODE" that let you do this - but I cannot find any equivalent in the web interface and there doesnt seem to be a config option and my searches of the forums haven't really helped.
Running XP SP3 with latest version of GBPVR. I ran windows update at the weekend which was fine but after the reebot the following problems were evident.
1. ASP.NET login had been created which mean yuo can use single/auto login.
2. PC wont go to sleep
3. Buffering from PCH and client PC's doesnt seem to be working.
So I decided to restore XP to an earlier time which rolled back fine but GBPVRtray.exe wouldnt load.
Took a copy of the GBPVR directory then uninstalled GBPVR, then couldnt reinstall due to .NET problem which I am guessing is why GBPVRTray.exe wouldnt run.
Reinstalled .NET 3.5 but made no difference.
In the end I took a copy of the DB and restored a disk image that I had taken 2 weeks ago and over wrote the DB with the latest one.
The last program I recorded is there and EPG all looks OK, is there anything else I should do.
Also what's recommended with regards to Windows Updates?
Well, I seem to have things backwards this time. Last time I tried to set this up, I had tv but no guide. now I have guide but no tv. ??? I am scanning and getting all the channels that I am suppose to but when I go into the program, there is nothing there but static. anyone got a clue? I dont.
I appreciate the help and if there is anything I need to include, let me know...

Hi,
If for some reason I can not get Moviewiz to find an image for a particular film, is there any way that I can either point moviewiz to an image that I've found myself online, or save that image on to my pc and then load it into moviewiz from there?
OK, just installed the latest GBPVR on an old XP machine and hooked it up to an HDTV running 1080p via a standard VGA connection. I have the aspect ratio in the config set to 16x9 all right, and the screen is set to 1080p resolution and everything looks fine, but any video I play is being clipped to fill the screen: e.g., if I play a 4x3 video like an old TV show, the show filles the screen horizontally and the top and bottom are clipped off. I have tried hitting F7 to no avail, and indeed if I try this with a DVD, it merely changes the audio track.
The menu and other screens look fine, and work all right in 16x9. It's just the videos.
I have another GBPVR install in the other room going to a 4x3 screen, and it works just fine. The videos render, F7 works as expected. Has the aspect ratio button been changed, or could something be superseding the command in some weird way, or what? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
For those in the US tonite (7/21/09) is your guide data correct? Mine has been an hour ahead tonite. The same thing in Windows Media Center (Vista). A manual update has not helped.
Finally have my gbpvr setup about the way I want but have one small issue. I would like to be able to program the GBPVR box remotely from my laptop, aka choose programs and recording times and all remotely. I have my laptop setup in client mode but it takes almost 3 minutes to load up the guide. If I want to schedule a show via the search guide it also takes a long time and when I do get the dates from my search it takes 30 seconds or more when you click on the date for the information to change. The system works it just works VERY VERY slow.
The gbpvr system is a celeron d 3.2 ghz with 1.5 gig ram and sata ii hard drive hardwired on 10/100 switched Ethernet. The remote system is a Pentium m 2.0ghz laptop with 2 gig ram on a wireless g network that is connected to the same switch as the gbpvr system. The network does not appear to be the problem as shares are accessed quickly.
Any ideas how to speed up my client access? I am currently in streaming mode though file share mode doesn't seem to help the situation.
