I would like to drop the ability to use the CS3 version of the SkinPlugin together with the latest CS4 version, with a suitable note on the CS wiki page when we go public.
With the current build it's possible but it's a bit of a hack, and it's the root cause of mvallevand's config.xml corruption reported here and here.
I have a Philips Magnavox 29" (I think) TV, somebody gave us. Beggars can't be choosers.
I've been dealing with the whole Purple and/or Green blotch issue, because it isn't there all the time... waiting till I can afford what I want... a 42" or better flatscreen.
I've also been dealing with another issue... and this one is just plain stupid.
Switching to VCR/Aux.
Here's the process...
Channel down below channel 2.
Now, that's not hard for a person to do... you can even go directly to channel 2 and then hit channel down.
But the problem? Try telling the procedure to my new Logitech Harmony remote.
I can tell it to press 2 then channel down... but the tv is waiting for 02 or 2 seconds... so sometimes, it channels down from whatever channel you're on.
This makes 1 step activity programming nearly impossible.
The original remote has a TV/VCR button that is SUPPOSED to switch directly to VCR/Aux... but does it? NOOOO!
3 times in the manual it says 'Tip: Use the TV/VCR button to go directly to the VCR/Aux inputs.'
ARRRGGGG
Plus I had another failed recording for my wife last night. It only recorded the first half of The Office.
Not a GBPVR problem but a hardware issue for a common setup in this community.
I have a Gigabyte MA78GM-S2HP motherboard with RealTek ALC889 audio on board. I connect to my AV receiver through optical SPDIF. It works well though there are a couple annoyances.
First to prevent the sound card from resampling all sound to 48 kHz I had to install an ancient driver (ver 1.37) as newer resamples. My concern with using old drivers is that a newer driver may address the second concern.
The second issue, and the one that bothers me most, is the card seems to send a "pulse" to the receiver at system startup (maybe at some application start up?) resulting in a pop from my speakers that makes me nervous for the speakers' health if I ever leave the volume high. My previous setup used coaxial SPDIF and did not have this problem. I'd have thought coax would be more likely to have this issue because there is an electrical connection which there isn't with optical.
When I try to play a DVD, it loads the menus but I don't see the cursor that selects individual items and so cannot play the DVD. GBPVR is set to use DVD Navigator. I see a blank screen if I try to use the Cyberlink Navigator.
As with about 99% of other programs and video players they have an option (usually right click) that will enable you to go from windowed mode to full screen and backwards, so what I would like to know is this also possible with GBPVR?.
With GBPVR I am unable to do this, I can either be in window mode or full screen and well it is a pain changing it, is there nothing that can be done 'one the fly' like the such of WinTV or even VLC for normal media files.
It is very useful so that you can multi task when needed but in a moment switch back to true fullscreen.
I'm trying to install GB-PVR and the installer gets to 1sec and begins the rollback to uninstall everything. When uninstalled, it says "Fatal Error: Installation ended prematurely because of an error."
I'm trying to install "GBPVR10311.msi" and have the following installed in my programs list:
Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
Microsoft.NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2
Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
I'm running XP. Any assistance you can provide would be most appreciated.
I changed my email account in schedules direct but not in gbpvr and 1 week later I get no show details. But I change the login (PW did not change) and still get EPG error even after deleting and adding tuners again. Should I a)reinstall GBPVR b)create another account at schedules direct or c) some other ?

I just got GBP-PVR v 1.3.11 on my system, using a ViXS Tuner card out of a friend's HP Media Center. I'm running Vista, and things were working fine yesterday.
I was switching between decoders trying to get the picture sharper (it's really fuzzy), but somehow it's borked LiveTV ability. Launching LiveTV kicks back to the dashboard after 2 second and flashing the TV Guide info for 1/2 a second. However, anything I schedule to record records just fine, and I can watch LiveTV if it's of something that is being recorded. I set my decoders, along with all other things I can remember changing, back to the default install, but it doesn't fix anything. I've also updated my EPG (just start my Schedules Direct 7-day trial), but that did not help. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Hi,
The battle goes on and while I have Pinnacle 73e installed the Dongle device is incompatible with Vista. There were some Updates installed yesterday and I don't recall this before then.
Help, this looks a valuable program and I would like to use it.

I have 'Use incremental screen updates' on the MVP & NMT tab set to on and I'm using 1.3.11 with the mvpmc dongle (2008-04-05) on a wired MVP.
When I use the new CS-SD skin, I get bad 'jittering' on any screen except watching TV or Video. By 'jittering' I mean that the image on the screen moves rapidly up and down by approx 3-5% of the screen height - there is no horizontal movement. I don't see this problem on Blue, Slick or Blue-Retro-SHV.
So I did a test... for both Blue and CS-SD in turn...
Start MVP - Main Menu appears with no jitter
after about 10 seconds, I pressed the Up key - jittering starts
after another 10 seconds or so, I pressed the Down key - jittering continues
about 10 seconds later I powered down the MVP with the green button
Also if I start the MVP with CS-SD and leave it at the Main Menu, it starts jittering on its own after 15-20 seconds.
