I've tried WinTV7 in Vista, 2 W7 installs and 2 XP installs. I've tried with both my HVR2250 and my HVr1600 and the 2250 only works with QAM in XP. Can't get it to work at all in Vista or W7. Once again, something about Media Center must be knocking it out.
I can't find where it saves the channel info to try and carry it over to Vista but it does have a much better, slicker face to it. Much improved but GBPVR has nothing to worry about.....it's not even close.
I have gone into Config -> Capture Sources to set up the tuner and tune channels.
I have set the EPG Source as DVB EPG Broadcast.
Now at the Edit Recording Source if I click on Update EPG a dialog box pops up saying Updating EPG then it disappears. But then there are no channels listed where there should be Channels.
If I then click on Map digital channels to EPG channels, Digital Channel Mapping pops up, then the entire Config box all disappears.
I can't seem to find the recording button on my PCH remote. Is there a button I can use that has the same functionality? I'd really like to be able to schedule a quick recording with just one push of a button.
I am trying to make a GBPVR client (PVRX2 1.0.16) boot straight into PVRX2 using the advanced method listed on the Wiki and initially posted on this thread about booting straight into GBPVR.
When PVRX2 is manually started the setup works fine using file sharing and has done for some time.
The client is XP and the server Vista home both on a home network (There is a mismatch in client and server versions, client:1.0.16 and server: 1.2.9).
I've followed the steps in the wiki, excluding a couple to remove the mouse pointer and taskbar as i wanted to check it worked before i got rid of them. PVRX2 starts with an unhandled exception in the attached file.
I thought it might be that the client tried to contact the server before it had an ip address (was DHCP) so i set fixed IP's for the client and instead of the server name in confix i used the IP.
So what i would like to know, is anyone using PVRX2 with this boot into gbpvr method? Does it still work. Or can anyone suggests why PVRX2 fails with an exception?
Edit: This should probably be in support now, not general. Can it be moved?
(Sorry i'm not using the most recent versions, i havent had chance to upgrade yet. She is threatening to make me buy a standard tv recorder if i miss any recordings for her and i darent risk it!)
I am using an OTA antenna with a Hauppauge 2250 dual tuner card. The channel scan using the "Map digital channels to EPG channels" button wasn't picking up some of the stations that I could get using the tuner card software, so I entered the Tuning Requests for those channels manually using the other channels as a reference.
Now I can watch all the manually entered channels in Live TV, but when I record on some of those channels, a zero byte .mpg file is produced.
I've checked that both tuners Tuning request fields match for those channels since it looks like tuner #2 is used by default for live TV, and tuner #1 is the default for recording.
I can record successfully from all other channels. Does anyone know of anything with the channel mappings that differs between live TV and recordings?
I've built a client PC from parts that were given to me by a coworker who wanted to clean our his garage. I got alot better stuff than I was expecting but let me get to my point. The power supply that I had to power the machine is a tad noisy. I'm searching for a new quiter solution but the motherboard is a little older and has the 20pin main power connector. I'm searching my favorite online dealer and it seems most newer power supplies have a 20+4 pin main power connector. I'm not sure if these will work on this motherboard. Would these 20+4 pin connectors work on the 20 pin motherboard?
The program seems to only report conflicts when I attempt a recording from the TV Guide. Under other conditions, if I ask for a recording that is in conflict, GB-PVR simply does nothing (ie, it acts like everything is ok, even though the recording has not actually been scheduled).
some examples (both of which I came across this very day):
In the Search Guide: find a show, request a recording; if it's a conflict, GB-PVR doesn't complain, but the recording is not scheduled.
In Live TV: you're watching show and press Record, and then select 'Until End of Current Program' (the default); while there's no conflict right now (obviously), before the end of the show there will be a conflict. Again, GB-PVR acts like there is no problem, but the show does not start recording.
I'm pretty sure I've come across another case where the same sort of thing happens, but I can't think of it now.
It'd be nice to see consistent behaviour when attempting to schedule a recording, regardless of where the request is being made.
I have 2 150 cards. An Avermedia and a Hauppauge. Both work good. (I actually like the Avermedia better.)
The Avermedia has Coax in for channels 2-70, and the RCA is hooked to my VCR. I had it set at channel 901 (and a logo that said VCR).
The Hauppauge has Coax also, but I just hooked my digital cable box to the RCA connectors.
I went into config, and set both the Coax capture devices to use my schedules direct channel listing for Analog.
I set the Hauppauge RCA to use the listing for digital.
Updating the EPG on the Hauppauge RCA gives me no channels.
Updating it on either of the Coax sources gives me the digital lineup.
The RCA on the Avermedia (VCR) doesn't show up in the Channel guide now.

I'm using an MVP with the mvpmc dongle. My problem is that i can play most files just fine but when it comes to livetv or a recording in progress the playback will stop once i reach the point where i pressed "play" in real time.
what i'm assuming is that ffmpeg will only transcode up to the point where i started playing back the recording and then dies. is there anything i can change in the ffmpeg transcoding settings to assure it will "follow" the live recording and convert it till the end?
