I purchased a Technotrend DVB-C 1501 budget card last week and tried to set it up in gbpvr. I got the problem that some major channels here in germany are missing if I perform a scan in gbpvr. If I use the tt media center, all channels were found. I added the frequencies to the ini file but "ard" and "zdf" are still not found at all.
I have a problem with the program guide. I am using mc2xml to gather the epg data which works fine. Last week I purchased a TT 1501 budget in order to start in the digital tv world and after I tried to setup the card in gbpvr I had no data in the programm guide. I deleted both tv cards (hauppauge 350 and the tt) and setup the hauppauge again and had also no epg data (still the old working xml file). The next step was to reinstall gbpvr and my last hope was a complete system installation which also didn't work. I have no idea what I did wrong, could anybody help me please? I attached the content of the log folder.

I'm looking to upgrade my display from a 23" Olevia (which works surprisingly well when connected to my PC) to something in the 36" - 42" LCD 1080i range. I also intend to use it for basic computer purposes and for PC games.
I figure quite a few of you must be using displays that size -- do you have any recommendations for screens that work well or personal experiences to recount?
I've seen a ton of posts with similar questions but am having trouble piecing together my exact situation and understanding what I should do to get a similar experience to what I had with analog.
Currently I've got 2 PVR 150s but we've just stopped using them since Comcast switched to the Digital converter boxes for channels over 31 mainly due to lack of time so far to mess with a new setup. I am looking at the HVR 2250 since it has dual tuners. I only need the extended basic channels (food network for the wife, cartoon network for the kids and a couple others mainly). With the clear QAM channels will I need to bother with an IR blaster or can I get all those channels directly off the cable line? I'm in Vancouver Washington on Comcast but I haven't seen any list of the clear QAM channels(though I've heard that all the channels available through the small box they give you are clear QAM)?
What's my best route for getting a dual recording setup with the least hassle? Is the 2250 the best option for what I need? Thanks!
Is there a way to record 640 X 480? I've checked the config utility and there are no 4 X 3 options? Is there some way I can build a recording preset from scratch?
I am using a TV card Hauppage HVR4000, with analog TV cable as the signal source.
I was able to create the list of all channels, and EPG, using an xmltv file.
I had to use mc2xml to create the xmltv file. Could the issue come from the file, any suggestion how to check it?
Thanks,

Can anyone tell me if there is any way to set *some* stations to use LivePreview when possible, and *other* stations to always use timeshift?
The reason I ask is that I have been unable to make use of the "Live Preview" commandline. When I try to launch a process as a result of selecting a streaming station for live preview, the internal player just gets stuck on a black screen. Everything is fine in Timeshift. I suspect that streaming stations from the Internet is simply incompatible with the notion of a "live preview." However:
Is it possible that the player is expecting the file to be in a different folder for Live Preview than for Timeshift? If so, how do I find that folder, and how do I set my process to distinguish between being launched for Timeshift and launched for LivePreview?
Sorry if I am missing something obvious here, but is there a way to get GBPVR to only update the EPG via update.bat once per week? I am having trouble making machines go back to sleep after the daily EPG update (which isn't really necessary).
Would it be a case of setting the GBPVR update options to "never", and just running update EPG.bat as a weekly scheduled task??
