I've got my 2250 up and running and showing all my local QAM channels in WinTV. (BTW i'm using it for analog cable and clear QAM)
After my initial attempt to setup GBPVR 1.3.11, I set up 4 capture devices Analog 1 and 2 (device numbers 1 and 2)
Question: I have only one 2250 installed and when i add an analog device and check the "show only installed tuner" box it shows that I have the 2200 also, is this the analog part of the device or do they just both show up?
I am using MC2XML to scrape from titantv and the channels show up correctly. However I thought there would be some sort of scan so I haven't checked to see if the analog channels were coming through ok.
And I setup the other two... QAM 1 and 2 (capture devices 1 and 2).
When i attempt the mapping it doesn't find any QAM channels. Any ideas why?
Also, I used the same xmltv file, thinking i would map the channels to the corresponding analog scheduling data, is this a correct assumption? if not, where do i get QAM data or is there any way to attach guide data from one channel to another? If so, how do I map the data to schedule my HD or digital recordings?
I have tried reading some threads about setting up the 2250 and other devices but most seem to be using older versions of GBPVR.
so i wanted to get it straight.
Is it possible to override the windows button on a MCE remote control so it will open up GBPVR? The button currently opens windows media center, which I don't want to use. I know you can do it with HIP, but I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something easy in the registry or ini file.
I don't know what I did... honest. I was messing with the channel mappings and such, and now, when I try to open config - it brings up a little installation-type window with the status bar at the bottom saying "configuring GB-PVR" - like it's trying to install somehing. It never gets anywhere, and then opens config. If I go into PVRx2, when I try to go to live TV, it pulls up the same kind of window - but if I kill the little window (by hitting "cancel") then the pvrx2 window goes all black, and I have to kill the whole program.
I thought it might be some UAC thing, so I have turned that off temporarily - but the effect is the same.
If there are consecutive recordings scheduled on the same channel (have not tested when on different channels) with 1 minute pre and post padding the second recording will usually not play (pvrx2.exe locks up). If I try to play the second recording enough times it will finally play (usually on the 3rd or 4th time). This is a VERY common event since I record Stewart/Colbert every night. I never have a problem playing the first recording.
when i attempt to play live tv from my client machine, the screen goes blank as if it is about to start, waits for about 2 seconds, then kicks me back to the menu. i can play recorded shows from the server machine, and i can play things from the video library, can see the tv guide and all that, but can't get live tv to start. logs are attached. Help with this would be appreciated
System: WinXP, latest gbpvr
Config does not identify the currently installed tuner card (KWorld)
The tuner card works fine with bundled software

Not sure why the card is not being detected...any help greatly appreciated.
Let's say I watch a movie on GBPVR in the morning. Remote works fine. Turn my TV off, and leave the HTPC running. Come back after lunch to watch another movie, but the remote no longer works. If I go back into XP and restart IR, it works again.
So what seems to be happening is that after a certain time period, the Hauppauge IR disables itself. The IR program is still running in the system tray, however.
Anyone knows what is wrong? Sounds like a registry problem to me... but I have no idea.
I've been searching all afternoon and I can't find the info, so I'm posting. I've got a hvr 1600 pulling in digital TV. The other day I had my box offline to do some minor upgrades and hooked the antenna up directly to my TV and discovered there were a few new sub channels out there. I hooked my gbpvr box back up and did the whole digital channel mapping, pulling in the 2 new channels. I went to Schedules Direct and added them to my lineup. I updated my EPG which correctly pulled the channels. I checked my xml listings and the channels are listed in there. The channels also show in the Channels tab in config with the new numbers I assigned them. I cannot for the life of me get them to display in the TV Listings in the program though.
To sum it up:
I'm using xmltv to store lineups
I'm using Schedules Direct to get my lineups
I've mapped the digital signals to channels
I see the channels in the Channels tab
I do not get either of the new channels in GBPVR's TV Listings
I've empties and reloaded the EPG.
Any ideas? I feel like I'm missing something easy, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
Having copied my settings for years when I reinstalled (ie backed up trhe directories and copied back after reinstalling) I finally reinstalled the new version from scratch.
It's resolved most of the wierd problems I used to get but now it's developed a nasty habit of crashing regularly, sometimes every 2 or 3 mins (like now), sometimes it stays up for hours.
No obvious error messages.
Normally restarting works fine, now and then it keeps dropping back to the main menu whenever I try to watch live TV (plays recordings OK), in this case I hae to restart the machine.
I am new to GB-EPG having used Media Portal for a few years I thought I'd go for a change.
I cannot setup my channels correctly, I am running the config app and selecting my card in the 'Capture Source' tab. When I click on the 'Map digital channels & EPG channels' button it cycles through but shows:
Strength:0
Quality:0
Doesn't find any channels and then pops up a .net error.
I have attched the log folder, can anyone point me in the right direction?
