3 items related to the Find All button and search guide results:

1. I love the Find All button in the TV Guide. However, it goes away once something is scheduled to record... why? I'd still like to be able to see the same list of upcoming shows, and which are set to record, etc.

2. It'd be nice if the Find All button appeared in Recordings. If I'm looking at a recording (be it Ready, Pending, or Recurring) it'd be nice to have the Find All button to see the upcoming shows.

3. Finally, I notice also that the search result given by the Search Guide and the Find All button doesn't list a show that has already started. If a show is on now, I want it to tell me that too. If it is lacking the logic to determine if a show that started in the past is still on, then just have it list shows starting up to 2 hours before the present time, and leave it to the user to figure out whether said show is actually still running (ie, better to err that way than simply pretend the show doesn't exist because it started five minutes ago)

Related to the last suggestion, how about having the current date and time appear on the Search Guide screen as well?

I'm getting some oddities with Recording Sources - I'm running a Nova-T-500 and an PVR500. I've set the recording sources to list the 2 nova-T sources first and then the two analogue sources but it SEEMS to be a little random - IE when doing some testing I went to the guide to the current time and did quick record on the current timeslots and channel 1 through 4 and got TV 1 analogue but this doesn't seem to be consistent. If I use SQLite DB Browser and look at the Table? Capture Source it lists

1 MCE500a
2 MCE500b
3 MCE500rca (this is the RCA input of one of the 500's I use for UHF Sky Decoder)
4 NovaT500a
5 NovaT500b

But the allocation order is 3,4,5,1,2 from the top (IE the Nova-T-500's are 1 and 2) so with Multirecord switched on I should VERY rarely be seeing an Analogue recording but America's top Model on TV3 friday nights seems to be analogue nearly everytime when at most I might occaisionally be recording 3 recordings at this time. Do re-occuring recordings try to grab the same device used at the first recording or will a device be allocated each time based on availability from the top down??? Also one thing to note SUB is that I do have "<PreferAlternatingCaptureSources>" set to true as the main reason I want so many recording sources is to always honour the 5 minute overlaps.

Any help with the logic here would be greatly appreciated.

When in the TV Guide, it would be nice to be able to type a channel number and have the guide jump to that channel.

My wife and I do that out of old habit even though we don't have all that many channels, but certainly it would be golden for those with hundreds of channels.

I own a Pinnacle pctv hd pro stick 800e. I have had it for over a year and have never been able to get it to work using the supplied software. I read some reviews that said gbpvr was a good program to use for viewing tv. After reading about it, I was excited to give it a try. However. After downloading the program and trying to configure properly, it seems overly complicated. Maybe I’m just a moron, but I can’t even get past the first step in configuring it. I have read all the past threads regarding 800e configuration and it seems over my head. Adding additional lines to .ins files, etc. I don’t even no what the heck that is. Some people suggest running the filtercheck.exe in the program directory, well I don’t even have that. If anyone out there uses the 800e capture device could you please provide me with the configuration settings. I can’t even figure out how to get my capture card recognized!! Help please!!

I've changed the MPEG-2 Playback to pretty much everything on the list to try and figure out the audio problem, but no go. Tv3 and C4 sound perfect, but the others, they just keep skipping and dropping out.

The Monogram AAC Decoder must have installed correctly, as its on the drop down list...

I'm really confused, I just moved my PVR-150 over to a new PC and now I can't get it to work under GBPVR. I have configured this card on my previous desktop and it worked perfectly, but I am having no luck on my new computer. So far it works on my old computer in both linux, and windows (both WinTV and GBPVR). On the new computer it works in WinTV but not GBPVR, I just get a black screen. I have MPEG codecs Installed, I have tried both Combined Community Codec Pack, Nero, and Nvidia's Codecs. None make a difference...

I can't think of anything else to try... Anyone know what could be wrong?

sub, could you allow m2t and m2ts as valid file types for the MVP and PCHServe interfaces the next time you are in there please? I am not sure if ffmpeg supports them for the MVP but it is no worse than it is now.

Would it be possible to add a USB button to the main control panel that would access any removable drive connected to the computer and let you browse it for any content defined for the Music / Video Libraries?

Currently when a friend brings a USB drive with a movie on it, I have to use a shortcut to the media file and drop this into the video library. Since a lot of DVD players now have USB ports, I thought this would be a feature useful to GBPVR.

Hi Guys,

I have a Seagate 750gb drive in my HTPC right now but it's getting kinda full so I'm looking at adding a drive.

I see Western Digital has their new 2tb green drive out and so far the reviews are good, but it's expensive compared to the Seagate 1.5tb drive.

The Seagate has had some firmware issues that caused some stuttering when pulling data off the drive, definitely not a good thing for a HTPC drive! But it seems they've released new firmware for these drives and the reviews seem to be generally good as of late. It also seems the data stuttering problem crept up more when used in RAID arrays and I wouldn't be using it in a RAID array.

The Seagate goes for about $130 and the Western Digital for around $250, so for about the same money I could go with two Seagates and end up with a tb more storage so I'm seriously thinking about giving one a try and if I'm happy buying another one to replace my 750gb (I'll move it to my main pc).

Has anyone here used this drive? If so is it behaving for you, or would you not wish it on your worst enemy?

Any and all comments welcomed!

The specific drive I'm looking at is the:

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

Thanks!
