Hi,

I was wondering if there were any cable gurus out there!

I have a cheapie plexus 5m DVI cable running from my Rad 3450 to my TV, with a DVI to HDMI adaptor at the TV end.

I get a very grainy picture- rather than solid colours, I have grainy noise, that appears to move (the kind that you used to get in analogue). I also get a sparkly halo around (for example) football players and the stars in the Eurosport logo.

It's not obvious until you get close, but once I realised it was there, it has to go! I have tried ATI denoise options, etc, but all to no avail.

Cable gurus- before I rush out buy something expensive, do you think that this is worth a try? If so, what make would you go for?

Thanks in advance!!

PS- I have the resolution set to 1080p, so I was wondering if the loverly copy protection might be lowering picture quality for non HD content??

I am experiencing a curious problem that may in fact be a bug with GBPVR.

Say I want to record 10 series. I add the 10 and let the library fill up with a few episodes of each show. I begin to notice that series listed near the top of the list get priority over series listed near the bottom of the list when the times overlap.

Are series listed near the top of the list given higher priority over those listed near the bottom of the list?

This doesn't make a lot of sense as newer series are listed on the top as opposed to be listed on the bottom. Do I have to make a list of what I want to record series-wise then add them in reverse order to prioritize certain series over others?

If I invoke or allow windows to enter standby again, upon return go directly to a digital channel on the HVR-1600 the sound works, and if I change channel from there to an analog channel the sound works. No problems this way.

Ok, This is a weird one. If I invoke or let windows enter standby, upon return I have no sound with the analog channels of the HVR-1600. If I then switch channel to a Digital (QAM) source, sound works. If I then return back to any analog channel the sound works.

On a fresh boot, sound will be in the analog channels, but once it goes into standby, the sound does not come back unless I do what I am describing above.

Weird Hey!

I can duplicate this everytime.

I have tried ffdshow, AC3, Nvidia, Cyberlink, MPA, System Default, you name it. There is no difference.

Does anyone have any suggestions what else I can do/try?

Once you've accumulated a ton of media, it begins to become difficult to arrow through each title. Would it be possible or does GB-PVR already have a function to page through the media lists? Perhaps adding a title filter option, similar to the tv search, that allows you to view all titles that start with a specific letter?

Just a thought.

Kind Regards,

I've spent the last few hours digging around for the answer and have come up dry. For some reason, the only way I can get the MVP (Hauppauge) to boot up and display the menu is to manually run PVRX2.exe (START>>RUN>>"C:\Program Files\devnz\GBPVR\PVRX2.exe" -mvpmode). As long as I have the RDP open and that PVRX2 running, the MPV works.

What do I need to do to get this thing running without having to RDP to my server?

Thanks in advance

Sometimes when I use LiveTV it plays fine with no stutter and my network monitor on Vista (Reliability and Performance Monitor) indicates about 1MBytes per second are being received by the Vista client.

Sometimes, however, the LiveTV stutters terribly and is virtually unviewable, and the network use is about 3.7MBytes per second.

Why this difference. This is with no config changes between readings. It seems to be random whether it uses 3.7 or 1 MB, why?

My network between teh client and the server is a power cable network with a claimed thruput of 200Mbits/sec and should be able to make 7MBytes/sec. I'd really like to use this over wireless, but clearly wont be able to do that whilst this problem remains.

Anyway, the main problem is why its so inconsistent in its network utilisation.

Hello,

I am trying to set up this tuner with the latest version of gbpvr on XP SP3. The tuner works fine with bundled software (TVR).

When I configure gbpvr, it detects the hardware. I was able to configure EPG and bring up the UI, TV guide works fine, but when I press Live TV or select "Watch" from the TV guide I get no video. Do I need to install an encoder to view Live TV? I am using the integrated graphics in the setup (no graphics card).

Thanks in advance.

The font in the standard TV Guide is HUGE.

I have tries changing it in the SKIN plugin but that dont seem to change the content font size.

Thanks in advance.

Downloaded and installed the new Community-SD 4.0.0 release with no problems. Skin looks great! Excellent work gentlemen. I'll get to playing with it now, and look forward to Hairy's forthcoming themes that I'm sure are in development.

One minor item (bug) I see in the Skin Plugin - when selecting folder icons, there is a [Transparent] option that does not work (it's an empty folder).

Congratulations! It's a Skin! :eek:

This problem has been on and off.
But I think I have caught it now.
If I open the Grabber UI and the setting is to save to separate metadata.xml
this won't happen.
All is loaded and it is possible to see the data in the edit box. But no xml-file is saved.
Same if I run the commandline. The "/sf" do not work, no xml-files is added.
"/sb" work fine though.
