My USB-UIRT works for changing the channel in live TV but not when recording. I do have "Allow service to interact with desktop" checked, but I still see an "Unable to open USB-UIRT" error in GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log.

Anything else I can do?

I've put two "Cinergy C" DVB-C PCI tuners in the PC, and configured them in GBPVR as device 1 and 2. The tuner I configure with device numer 1 works perfectly. The second returns "no channels found" when doing a scan.

Both tuners work fine with the native TV software. I've tried switching the PCI cards pyhsically, I've tried removing and re-adding the cards in the config file, but I always end up the same way with device #2 not working (no matter which of the cards I choose as device #1). If I give both devices #1 both work, just not simultaneous of course.

I tried using device numbers above 2 but this results in an error message from GBPVR saying it couldn't find the device and at the same time I get a .NET 2.0 Just-In-Time crash dialogue.

I've searched the forum, Wiki and web but it seems I'm the only one experiencing this problem

I've read through the GBPVR logs but I'm still too novice to use them properly. One of the logs said it couldn't find the filter for the "Cinergy C HD PCI digital tuner" (IIRC) when doing a channel scan, but I'm unsure what to do to fix this?

I've installed the latest codec lite full pack, 4.75, and it has the MPEG cyberlink decoder version 8.4.0.205. The config program doesn't list it as a choice anymore. The codec lite full pack, 4.70, had version 8.2.0.1211 which I was able to list and use.

When searching for potential filters does config and pvrx2 check all list media types or just the first media type?

I've attached a screen shot showing that the first media type for 8.4.0.205 is MPEG1_Packet instead of MPEG2_VIDEO. However the other media types, it offers 13, do support MPEG2.

Does anyone that has one of these know if they have one Aerial connection or two?

I added an m2ts file that I ripped from Blu-Ray. I went into MovieWiz and did a search on m2ts. I was able to add it to the library. When I went to my PCH and selected the movie, MovieWiz got non-responsive. I could exit or powertoggle, but I couldn't do anything else after hitting play. When I tried to go to the video details, it got real slow (I thought it locked up). I checked the config.xml for GBPVR and m2ts is in the extensions list.

My current set up is GB-PVR on my PC (in my home office it is are main PC) and a wired MVP in the family room connected to the plasma. Will this plug in allow me to download movies via our Netflix account to watch on the plasma?

Thanks for your time.

I'm toying with going the Freesat route, since I can't get anything other than four analogue terrestrial channels where I live.

I've searched the forum and come up with these potential gotchas:
1. Getting a dish installed
2. EPG - is one available?
3. CPU - will I need to upgrade the PVR (see sig for current setup)?
4. Simultaneous recording/viewing - excuse the stupid q but can one DB-S receiver enable simultaneous channel reception, or is it like analogue, where I need one receiver per recording?

Thanks in advance all.

I see Western Digital has a 1.5 TB drive for just a little more than the troubled Seagate 1.5 TB.

It's in their "green" series though - supposed to use less power, run cooler, etc..

Anyone have any experience with the green drives? Are they appropriate for an HTPC?

Thanks!

I set PVRX2 to record "Being Human Unearthed" which ran from 0110-0210 and it failed to do anything more than create and empty folder because the clocks in the UK all went forward at 1am which then became 2am so PVRX2 thought the programme which was an hour long had already ended. When I looked at the TV Guide I found that on every channel at around this time at the end of every programme there was a blank box saying "(no show details)" for the length of the programme before it ie. 0210-0310 which is where the programme should have been. The EPG on my set top box did not suffer from this problem so it must be the way PVRX2 stores programme times which is to blame.

Isn't there some way of storing the EPG information using UTC which isn't affected by changes in British Summer Time so that when Windows changes the time on the computer clock at 1am to BST the time of the recording isn't affected since it is stored as UTC which can be deduced from the Windows clock by knowing when BST starts and ends.

Are there any plugins or plans to provide plugins for external video sites like CNN, CBS, Hulu, etc. like Boxee does?

If not, is there an easy external app that we could launch? i haven't been on lately and don't know if there's any beta efforts in this area..

Thank you,
