I just purchased a Linksys WRT54G2 router to replace a Netgear WGR614 router that I was having problems with it. This router appears not to be able to reserve IP addresses. I made no changes to the computer which gbpvr resides on. Now when I try and access the gbpvr computer with the pch browser all I get is the spinning wheel. I am able to access my Windows Home Server pc, just not the gbpvr pc. The gbpvr computer's operating system is Vista Home Premium. Can anyone see something that I'm missing?
Martin,
I did not change the IP address of the gbpvr computer. I am not sure what IP address the PCH is currently using though.
1st. Thanx for a greate program!!
I'm using a Pinnacle usb-stick for freeview some danish channels.
I have a couple of EPG Q's. I use DVB-EPG.
In the guide I have a view of the future 2-3 hours of programs. Can I change it to view a longer timespan, like 12 hours or so?
When using Search Guide theres information for about 2 weeks.
And in the text-window in the bottom of screen, the text is cut-off, as if theres only room for a defined count of charaters.
Can that be changed?
It is made by HP and it says HP Media center on it. However, in Device manager, it shows up as "ehome Infrared controller" instead of "MCE infrared controller." it does not respond to HIP...
Does anyone have something similar and if so, how did you get it to work?
Hey guys, I would really like to develop a knowledge base on this card in particular. I figure lots of people may have this card, so lets share the knowledge.
My question is, how do I ensure that the onboard encoding is engaged instead of the CPU power? I read the white papers and according to ATI this thing should be low on CPU usage since it can do its own hardware encoding. But it seems that whenever I use the live TV the CPU gets load. Maybe this is normal, but just to be sure, what settings and muxers and decoders and etc need to be set so that all the HW is used?
ok... it has been a while since i last posted here... and that's because GBPVR has been working so well for me and i had finished all the tweaking and was into the day-to-day....
...BUT NOW Seagate has ruined my zenn and their inferior product has toasted itself. My 500GB barracuda disk containing my OS and Program files suddenly stopped being recognized on boot this morning. Apparently they have a huge firmware issue that is wide spread and after a number of months writes a bad journal entry to the disk which causes the drive to be forever stuck in a "BUSY" state and will not even get recognized in BIOS on boot.... Lesson = don't buy seagate.... I've sent the disk in for some data recovery covered under warranty and according to others with the problem the data should be safe since the firmware is the problem.
The most unbelievable part though is that only 3 days before I installed a 1000GB drive and moved all my media to that disk. Amazing save.
I just thought i'd take the time to complain about Seagate and their poor product. Stay away.. buy Western Digital or ANYTHING other than Seagate/Maxtor.
Anyone else have a PVR story about how their PVR failed?

Comcast has just notified me that they are going all digital in my area. This is going to cause me to make significant changes to my audio/video system, including GBpvr as they are all still running on analog. I have happily used GBpvr for years, with almost no intervention from me, so well I didn't give it much thought at all, until now, sadly. Since i distribute audio/video throughout the house via analog MVP's over modulators to mix with the TV signal and be available on any TV. The analog and digital signals do not mix well together so I see no alternative but a dual system.
I have just a couple of basic questions for those that have already made this change and been through the process.
I'm still using GBpvr 99.12 and it's been rock solid but, am I right that I will have trouble getting digital tuners to work with it?
According to Hauppauge the replacement for the WinTV-USB2 units I use now is the WinTV-HVR-1950. Have they been as good a performer as the analog units they are replacing or should I look at something else?
Last and most importantly, also the real reason I'm still on version 99.12 is the music plug-in jukebox2. My current music system is made up of the Jukebox2 plug-in powered by GBpvr feeding multiple sources to my whole house music system through MVP's. This one simple plug-in is the backbone of my music system. I see that it's no longer listed as working with the newer versions of GBpvr. Is there something that replaces it or has it's functions been replicated in another music player. Most I've looked at don't seem to be as solid, quick or have the ease of operation this does. Family and guests look forward to being able to press a button to add a song to the queue, it's been a hit around here for years so much so that if I have to I'll strip version 99.12 to the bone, give it it's own computer system and run just it. Wasteful I know but it's that important to a household full of music lovers, amateur as well as professional.
I can't remember or find this, but I'm sure it was mentioned in the past.
The green "viewed" indicator in the recordings screen that shows that a recording has been seen seems to get erased if the recording is left to run to the end and drop back to the menu.
It would be nice (for our household anyway) to keep it active in this case to say the show has been seen.
