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.
For the Haup RCA source, my settings are:

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?

Hello all, I've been playing with GBPVR here and there and have had difficulty setting it up with HDHomeRun. Finally after using a combination of instructions, for the most part it looks like I can get it running.
However, there is a key problem, no picture in the PVRX2 app. I've been able to get the gbHDHR_tune to record video manually, that is I use a command line to enter a channel and file path and it does record, but even that doesn't seem to work correctly.
It looks to ignore the channel I enter in the command line and records whichever channel is tuned in using HDHomeRun Config.
By some miracle, I had it working temporarily. I tried to save my settings but something wasn't right. Also note I've had strange results with the bgHDHR_tune, it works sometimes with "" or no " when using the parameter mode.
I've checked the log files, and I have no errors aside from the typical skin errors.
I don't know why the picture won't display using PVRX2 and don't know why in command line mode why the app won't record the channel I tell it to.
Note that in GB-PVR mode, if I change channels the status tuner shows the channel changing. Don't now if it's actually doing it but it does show it.
Running a Dell 1210 with 7400 go gfx card 2 GB of memory
Windows XP Home edition SP3
GB-PVR 1.3.11 version, I did install one of the patches
VLC .9.8a
gbHDHomeRun version 1.0.0 (config.exe)
I know it's not one of the recommended or supported tuners but...I bought this one to revive my old system and add HD. I have an old P4 3.0 with a crappy Soyo Mobo and 2 Gigs of ram. In order to get some decent recordings and playback with HD I upgraded the video card to a Radeon HD 3650 (AGP) and this tuner with hardware encoding (it's quite a good tuner). That actually worked, and the system can now handle HD recording and playback by unloading some of the work onto the upgraded cards, but I'd REALLY like to be able to use GBPVR.
Based on a previous thread (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=39943) the analog side is up and running fine. After reading through as many threads as I could, I tried to update the DBA.INI file with following:
[ASUS PHC3-100 (ATSC)]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=ASUS PHC3-100 ATSC/QAM Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=ASUS PHC3-100 Digital TV Receiver
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
[ASUS PHC3-100 (QAM)]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
TUNING_SPECIAL=2
FILTER_TUNER=ASUS PHC3-100 ATSC/QAM Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=ASUS PHC3-100 Digital TV Receiver
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
GBPVR now recognizes the hardware, but will not tune any HD stations (using either the ATSC or QAM. The tuner works great with the (crappy) software that comes with the card (including picking up all QAM and ATSC signals), but GBPVR will not recognize the same channels. At one point, while using the bundled software and watching QAM, GBPVR recognized the frequencies during a scan, but then showed "WEAK OR NO SIGNAL" when I tried to watch them after closing the other program (I since tried uninstalling the bundled software as well).
Also, when I run the Tuning Assistant it seems to recognize some of the ATSC channels, but they don't show up when trying to configure the tuner.
I've attached the FILTERCHECK log and latest CONFIG log and can attach any others that might be helpful.
My local cable TV provider made a complete overhaul of the channel lineup about 6 months ago. Ever since, SchedulesDirect has been constantly adding or changing channels for my local lineup around once a week, and still going on. Every time they added a channel, I used to have problems with the program guide in 1.3.7 simply not showing any info for various different channels.
I tried updating to 1.3.11 a couple of weeks ago, and now nothing shows up in the program guide, and upon trying to do an EPG update, config.exe shows a pop-up box with a stack of exceptions, then crashes. In the past, the only way I could fix this was to uninstall GB-PVR, delete all the stuff left behind, then reinstall. But every time a new channel is added, it happens AGAIN and AGAIN, like every week!
If there's something I'm just doing wrong, please, somebody tell me what it is!
(config.exe-1 logfile attached, it shows the exception at the end of the file)
