I just ordered a new Dell PC and I'm trying to figure out whats the best way to transfer my GBPVR setup to it with the least headaches. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My current operating system is WinXP, the new one will be Vista. I will transfer my Hauppauge PVR150 tuner card to my new PC. I use both a NMT and a MVP. I am thinking that I would do the following:
1. a fresh install of GBPVR and then copy the gbpvr.db3 & config.xml from the old pc to the new. Install .net 2.0 and microsoft run time.
2. I would have to download and install any additional skins or plugins.
3. I would copy the mvpmc directory over to the new computer. Setup any shares.
4. I believe with my old system I had to change something in Admin. Services for the gbpvr recording service, so I would have to do that also.
5. In my old PC I was able to play dvd's in my computers dvd drive and watch them on my tv through the nmt. My new PC will have a blu-ray drive so I hope can still use that feature.
To make the transition as smooth as possible I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thanks!

Have had a bit of a look about this but have come up blank so far. In my TV guide info I get title, channe, date and time and then (always) "Show/Game Show" I get this regardless of the type of programe I am looking at.

Any thoughts? It's not a biggie.

For some reason one of my tuners has just started crashing GBPVR. I have one of my 2 dvbs tuners on my 7010ix pointing at atlantic bird 3 and the other at astra for freesat, for no apparent reason the freesat tuner causes a microsoft crash dialog either HD or non HD.

I re-installed a previous known ok backup thinking this would fix it but nope it's still the same...which made me think it was hardware, so I tried DVBviewer and its all ok and GB does seem to record from the tuner ok..

Help, I need my HD goodness back.

I've writte this app in eVB that functions as a remote for gbPVR. The system is comprised of two appliactions, the 1st being a application written in VB6 and listens on a port for commands, which are then sent to gbPVR using a send keys method. The reason I have not do this as a plugin, woould have to learn C# and then plugin writing for gbPVR, and wanted it now.

The 2nd app is written in eVB and is installed on your pocket PC.

Here are some screens shots of the remote app.







The remote app has been tested on a HP IPAQ hx2410.

If there is sufficient interest in this, I will tidy and boot strap the code and make it more flexible (less hard coded). Write some install and usage instructions, and post a download link or request a wiki link. Will post binary and source for both applications.

I'm looking at ways and applications that will allow my to control my GB-PVR box from work over the internet with the minimum of fuss.

Requirements are:

• Preferably free or very low cost.
  
• Able to get through a rather restrictive company network policy (port 80 is open and that's about it).
  
• Decent performance, no lag, easy to view screen etc.
  
• File transfer features would be nice but not essential.
  
• As secure as reasonably possible.
  
• Browser based view option would be nice but again, not essential.
  

as the title says, I lost all the NBC4 digital channels tonight, both on GB-PVR and my ATSC TV. The signal strength meter on the ATSC TV says I'm getting anywhere from 20 to 30 (out of 100), while all the other channels get 80 to 100. In other words, the NBC signal isn't even close to good enough. Nothing has changed in my antenna setup, and I've never once had a problem with NBC before, so I'm just wondering if this happened for anyone else too?

Yep, weird title and possibly daft question I've just upgraded almost everything in my PVR box and will be dropping in a BD-ROM drive pretty soon. However, I don't yet have a HDTV and was wondering if I tried playing a BR disc, would HDCP stop it playing via the S-VID out on my gfx card, or would there be an issue with resolutions that stops it outputting via S-VID (yes, I know I won't get high def res over svhs, but I'm OK with SD for the time being). Also, will I need much more than 1GB RAM for HD playback?

Hi all,
first let me apologize if this is somewhere else, but I'm having a hard time getting this going.

I have 2 epg listings in Schedules Direct. (ATSC & Dish SD)


How do I combine the EPG info of those two listings to one listing?

How do I map the ATSC channels to EPG Channels? (If needed)

How do I change the ATSC channels without changing the Dish SD channel? (Using Hauppauge Silver 45 button remote)

Is there a free epg alternative to Schedules Direct when I end up dropping Dish SD?

Again sorry if this is posted somewhere else.

Thanks for all your help!

I am using an ATI Visiontek dual tuner, with one cable source and one OTA source. I have been using mc2xml for the cable epg and zap2it for the ota epg. All worked fine for several months until last week, now no show details for the ota channels. I haven't changed any settings, I have tried two other scrapers (MSN_XMLTV_scraper_V.65 and mc2xml for the Antenna) but no success. Tried empty epg and then update epg, the cable channel descriptions are all there, but none of the digital channels. Can someone help? Do I need to send log files? Thanks in advance.

Even though "no show details" displays in the guide, if I tune to any of the available digital channels, live tv works just fine, so the channel mapping is correct? For the last week I have been using the "manual rec" method for setting up my recordings, kind of a pain.

Hello all,

Really sorry about this, just wipped my old setup and made a fresh start with xp server and vista ultimate 64 client, server is running fine but on the vista the app starts but will not show guide or play tv, you click on the links and it flashes briefly but doesn't do anything. Thanks in advance for help.
