Howdy all!
First post, signing in! I'm an ex-pat Kiwi living in Japan ... for the time being

Want to get started with a PVR, built out of my old PC but don't know where to start
Old PC is ...
Asus P4C800-E
P4 3.0
2Gb (4x 512Mb) DDR-400 - maybe, I forget now
160Gb + 80Gb + 80Gb removable HDDs
Sapphire 6800GT

We got SkyPerfect!TV on a STB and do NOT watch broadcast free Japanese TV. STB has S-video out (for sure) and maybe HDMI or something like that. Also had optical digital audio out ...
I use Onkyo home theatre box for audio with has digital optical in, from STB and DVD player ... VCR has RCA jacks.

What I want is ... a glorified VCR, basically - record shows, play files from the PC (region free PAL & NTSC DVD, .avi etc) and pause live TV. That'd make me happy. Anything else (record one show watch another from the STB) would be gravy and I do NOT want to spend days making it all work but will take it if I can

I'm trying to find a nice ATX case that'll lie horizontally but all I've seen here need micro-ATX mobo ... and I don't really want to buy a new mobo, memory etc if I can help it ...

So ... what extra hardware do I need to make it work?

Using v1.3.11, I have the follow in a XML file. When I choose the video it shows the wrong metadata in the duration. It's showing the "rating" and not "runningtime". Are my tags right? Is there a full list of tags?

Hi Guys,

I got this card recectly and have been having some major problems getting it working properly in GBPVR...

The card has inputs for Composite / S-Video etc etc and the software / drivers that came with the TV card seem fine (meaning that using the software supplied I can watch channels and switch between the various inputs no problem).

The issue I am having, and I am not entirely sure I am doing this right or not is when creating the source, GBPVR recognizes the card but there is no option in there to define the source input (Composite / S-Video). As I understand it I will need to create two sources, one using the Composite input and another using the S-Video input for the same card, but currently in the card settings there is no option to select different source inputs.

I noticed in the Wiki that the TV-Card used as an example (Hauppauge-150) there is a drop down box that allow to select the input source, but its not available on my card.

Can this be right? I am pretty confused...

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help!

Whatever

I have no sound when I watch a movie straight from dvd or a movie from a VOB file in GBPVR. Sound works if I use other software intervideo. mp3's play fine. I have tried changing the audio decoder and renderer in config but no luck. Any ideas?

ver. 1.3.11

I keep getting an exception when I click the settings button in the GBPVR config gui for the graphrecorder capture source - some error about the device ID. :confused:

If I ignore the error I can use the graph configuration gui, enter and save my settings. I don't know what to put in the device ID box on the first tab page - can someone explain?

Thanks.

Just setting up a new PC with PVR350 and PVRX2.
I can't find the option in the config to playback TV using the PVR350 hardware. Any ideas, thanks??

I noticed that when I'm in live tv some channels have their hd logo on the side of the screen. Is there a way to get rid of this? I've already tried using the f7 key.

Is this possible? I tried searching but didn't come up with much.

I just want a very simple setup to replace a vcr (haha). I want to tune with my cable box and be able to record with my htpc. Can i do this with gbpvr?

would I be better of getting a card with a tuner and getting an IR blaster to control the cable box and htpc?

I got this tuner a while ago and i worked all the bugs out of GBPVR for my system and it worked fine one night and the next morning and it looks like all staticy like it had a bad connection but i plugged the cable wire into a normal tv and it worked fine. Audio is still perfect but the video is static with a little bit of the show mixed in. Any help?

Hi,
is there a way to switch the language when viewing a dual audio broadcast on an analog tuner (pvr 150)?
or yust to set it up so that it records both channels?
