Hello all, I recently purchased the SABRENT TV-PCIRC R tuner card off of new egg, and was wondering if this software supports it.

The software that came with the card disabled all the sound, except for the tv sound, and the picture quality was...lacking.

I was going to return it, when I happened upon this project, and thought I would ask.

I am not able to run GB-PVR beqause probably I am missing a Microsoft directshow component. From the loggs I have created it is not possible to tell wich one. For more info regarding my problem see this thread:

My wish is better logging so I can tell whats missing in my setup.

Can Skiptool handle dvr-ms files? They don't show up, only mpg. If you did tweak via config file to show up, would it transcode it?

I'm trying to use Skiptool, but for some reason I can't get over to the right side to pick a directory and file - it just won't jump over to the other side with remote or keyboard.

Has anyone had this trouble? I haven't tried the mouse, that will be next, but I shouldn't have to, right?

I just got a new HVR-2250 to suppliment my HVR-1600 cards.

The first thing I noticed was how much smaller the card was than the HVR-1600's. Instead of big clunky tuner cans on the card, there's just a couple of tiny white boxes.

My HVR-1600's could never lock on to QAM cable reliably, so I decided to try it with the HVR-2250. I was pleasantly surprised to find a 100% quality on all channels in WinTV and so far every station has been perfect. I will need to have a few days of recordings before I'm completely at ease with it, but it's much more promising than my HVR-1600's.

So, I'm running the digital side of my two HVR-1600's off of an outdoor antenna. And I connected the dual tuner HVR-2250 to my cable. I'm no longer using the analog tuners of the 1600 and am only tuning digital channels on the HVR-2250. No more analog for me!

I'm using the current "beta" driver for the HVR-2250 download from the Hauppauge web site.

Hey all, been a while since I posted!

On my main HTPC I have an NVIDIA 8500 GT video card that I have come to really hate. It's got to be the worst card I've ever had. Anyway ...

I want to get a good card to drive my 50" Panasonic Plasma and do it well. Do any of you have suggestions? I'd love to know what you are using and if you are happy with them. I've never had good luck with ATI stuff but at this point I'm willing to try just about anything. I'd really like a card that I can custom set the resolution.

Thanks in advance!

I just bought a new HVR-2250 for my system, so I upgraded to GBPVR 1.3.11, and had to go through the Digital Channel Mapping process again for the new tuner sources. I'm using QAM cable with the HVR-2250 and discovered the local network channels included the station information (i.e. "6.1 KOIN-HD"), whereas most channels do not (i.e. "73.7 Unknown10").

Unfortunately, the channel list is not sorted by channel numbers. So, 6.1 ends up buried somewhere in the 107's, 8.1 is buried somewhere in the 115's, etc. Even the unknown channels are out of order in some cases (i.e. 117.12, 117.5, 117.16).

Since I was trying to match the channels with a list of local QAM channels, it was often difficult to find the channel I needed in the long unsorted list.

Would it be possible to sort this list by the channel number in a future update? It would sure make matching up the channels a lot easier.

Thanks,

Anthony

I researched this and found a bunch of references to people with PVR-150s who only got mono sound. There was the suspicion that it was due to a driver issue but I was unable to find any references to a fix.

My recordings are all in mono and the WinTV application reports that I am configured for stereo but that the current mode is mono.... regardless of the channel I am tuned to.

Has anyone who had the "stuck in mono" issue ever gotten the PVR-150 to actually record in stereo?

I messed up config.xml file. Can i download the original file from somewhere?

The hardware was running the previous version fine, when a faulty SATA cable cascaded by "operator errors" to a required complete reconstruction of the system.

Problem:
PV2XR terminates before displaying anything.

Also, in the "remapping digital channels" panel, clicking for the drop-down box of tuning choices results in an unhandled exception about 70% of the time. However, the exceptions are not fata. It was possible to complete the remapping process.

If you progress further back in the log files (attached), there is probably visible an unhandled exception that related to providing Schedules Direct with the wrong account info. This has been taken care of. So, unhandled exceptions aside, the only extant problem of the 1st magnitude appears to be that PV2XR will not run.

This system received all current updates, including the .NET ones that others have mentioned, before installing 1.3.11. So it is impossible for me to know whether the .NET updates are the cause of this problem.
