Since I installed version 1.3.11, I noticed a glitch in the EPG. Channel 27 programs are mapped to channel 67 in PVRX2. Normally I don't have a channel 67. Now I have channel 67 with snow but EPG info, and channel 27 with an actual channel but no EPG info.

I checked the xml file, everything seems in order. There is no mention anyware of a channel 67, everything properly mentions channel 27. Weird.:confused:

I use mc2xml, and process the result with UltraXMLTV_Enhancer.

Quite often when using the fast forward 2x, 4x, 8x or the right arrow a number of times giving 30 second increments the system doesnt do what it should.

eg current time 8:00 you press the right arrow 4 times which should fast forward 1:30 to 9:30 but the system only fast forwards a few seconds.

Likewise if you press fassword and press play once at 9:30 the system plays from say 8:20

Hope that makes sense.

I did a search and basically, only "I" showed up with this mobo and very little for "3100" ....

Anyway, my goal is to "fine tune" the video output as I know it can be better.

This MOBO has the ATI Radeon 3100 in it, and plays out to the TV disapointingly rough, compared to my playstation dvd player.

(DVD's and avi or xvid are noticeably different)

Let's just work with DVD for quality sake, for now.

(The other night, I was watching a dvd through the PVR and... well it locked (seperate issue, I will work on later)

So we put the dvd in the PS2 and could not believe the differance in video quality! Wifeyj, then looked at me and said "emmmm Hmmm" as she knows how much time I spend on the PVR. I need to show her and myself that all this time is worth the efforts!

How shall we get started with this?

Tuesday night, House and 24 on Fox in HD, and two episodes of Star Trek TNG on WGN (analog) at the same time. (logs zipped from that night, whatever it was should be close to the end of the logs, within an hour or so).

House and the Treks all came through fine, but the 24 recording failed. I had a similar problem with an episode of Fringe some weeks ago under similar circumstances.

I've hatched a theory that might be dumb, but here it is anyway. What I think happened was GBPVR doesn't like to use the same tuner for back to back shows on the same channel if a 2nd tuner is available--logic that is presumably designed to make sure both files/shows have some buffer time on them.

So imagine I have Plextor, QAM1 (which is also Analog 1) and QAM2 (also Analog 2). Plextor gets tasked with the first analog recording, and QAM1 gets the first digital hour. As that hour is nearing the end, Analog 2 gets tasked with the next analog show just as GBPVR is trying to task QAM2 with the second digital show. QAM1 (aka analog1) is still tied up on the first digital recording, so it can't be used. Only one of the two second hour shows gets recorded, the other gets fubared even though QAM1 will be available to keep recording the same channel it's already on for the second hour.

Obviously, alternative B is I screwed something up or my setup did, or I don't understand all the limitations of my 2250. That might be more likely.

What do you think?

the problem is tha i download GB-PVR software im instaled and dont detecte mi card. if someune can help me to ad sopport for my card, i will be greatfull. sorry for my ingles

anyone know how to play mkvs on a xbox 360 or a ps3?

most of my collection is in mkv (i ripped all my dvds to it) but i cant get the xbox 360 (or ps3) to play them, they show up on the xbox, but wont playback.

i just installed tversity and will try that, but that converts them to a wmv file, and since the xbox can play the codec used inside the mkv for video/audio, i would prefer a app just to change the container on the fly (if one exists).

so anyone had any luck with this?

My 45 button wintv remote opens VMC not GBPVR. Once I am in GBPVR it works everthing fine. But if I have nothing open and push the on button Vista Media Center opens.

So, I have analog connection to cable and 1 digital box. So, for now, only one card can have the digital channels (1-4xx) and the other has analog (2-70).

I set up Schedule Direct with the 2 lineups. But How do I get my different cards to use the right lineup?

I have test some times the scanning channels from GB-PVR and have read i think all treads with DVB-S2 and find out thats S2 work with the hauppauge Nova s2 but not with other S2 cards without plugins. I found some things i musst change in the Astra 19.2 ini file for the S2 flag but all i have done not work. The is every time no signal on S2 channels. Maybe someone can give me a hind for this problem.

King regards Scan

Hi, yesterday, I go to guide and find the whole thing completely empty. I had a full week the night before as I was looking for stuff to record.

I checked my egp source, a full 2.7mb xml fil with data in it, tried update egp, both from config and from system menu. No go.

Upgraded GBPVR to 1.3.11 (bit of trouble as the firewall was on and that made the install sh*t itself!!)

Upgraded TVgrabber http://tvgrabber.heiigjen.com/ pulled down a new listing, checked xmlfile, relevant data there, updated egp in config.....No data in Guide. :-(

Have checked with TVgrabber, no reports of anyone else with the same problem.

Will post logs to night.

PS. Tried a manual record, It went into recording mode, unfortuanlty, no file was made. Strange
