I am experiencing a great deal of frustration identifying freeesat channels such as BBC3 and BBC4 , also some of the obvious free to air channels appear as encrypted probably the Sky version which is simpler to identify.

It would be very useful if any member who has already identified the channels could post their edited scan file onto the forum to assist us amateurs who may be struggling in mapping the Radio Times derived EPG to the channels.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

First post, first time user of GBPVR.

I apologise if any of the following is unclear, I am at work and not by my HTPC so I'm doing it all from memory!

I have done as follows:

- Installed Vista along with drivers and Nova-T 500 drives/software
- Installed GBPVR
- I have then followed the Wiki guide to scanning for channels, and it picks up nothing.

I know the card works fine with the antenna because I can scan for all Freeview channels through the normal Wintv software.
When scanning through GBPVR, I tick the box saying only show installed devices and I get 5 or 6 options, I have tried each one but none will pick up channels. An image flashes up from time to time during the scan(usually once or twice) and I do get "Strength:1300" so it is seeing some sort of signal but it just cant seem to pinpoint any specific channels at all.

I have tried scanning on the "all regions" drop down box with no luck. A fellow worker who was experience with mythtv told me that I should select "rowdridge" location in "Southern england" drop down as that is the closest point to me. I tried this and the same thing happened.

I am getting so frustrated! Any help would be much appreciated. Please ask if you need any more information.

Regards

Simon

I am having a strange problem with COMSKIP. After a video is converted from .mpg to an .avi XviD file, COMSKIP doesn't skip commercials whereas it does prior to the conversion when playing the .mpg file. Pressing 999 doesn't seem to engage it (I haven't tried this while playing a .mpg file as I have none at the moment). What might be causing this issue?

The torrent plugin has become my main torrent app within my home and I have now removed my fluxtorrent server from my network.

But, I would really like the RSS TV feeds, any idea when this feature is likely to be added?

This plugin after a bit of a shaky start is now rock solid for me, Great Job!

Thanks

I notice that some include a "~E:T" and I was wondering what the significance of this part is. It seems to only be on encrypted channels but I want to make sure that's what it means.

Also, all my scan entries end with "(000)" or "(000(AC3))". I can figure out the "AC3" but what does the "000" mean? I'm guessing language code but my cable company isn't sending that info?

Thought I would have a play at writing a plugin - this is the first effort.

Basically, its a two player chess game.

Features:
It should only allow valid moves (won't allow en-passant or anything complex)
Will detect check or moves into check.

Non-Featured:
No single player
Doesn't detect checkmate/stalemate.
No skinning support - hard coded to the screen. Might fix this one day when I learn more.
Unfortunately, I had problems with trying to get the pathname within the plugin so it is hard coded to 'c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\plugins\GBChess'.


Im sure there are bugs in there - If its anything not already noted feel free to comment but be aware this was more of a test than a proper plugin so I don't plan to spend a lot of time on it.

I live in Canada. My cable TV provider is Cogeco. I have a Conexant Blackbird installed but the Tuner Assistant can't find any of my channels - it located about 68 channels - all blue.

I've checked the wires and the drivers and everything seems to be working fine. The question is, why can't I watch TV?

Running Windows XP SP3 on a 3 GHz P4HT with 512MB nVidia display and 2 GB of RAM.

Sorry to bother you again, Sub
Everything seems to work just fine except the line up that GBPVR gets from Schedules Direct is always both line-ups and mixes them together and adds numbers that don't even exist. I had to remove >40 entries for my HDPVR setup. I have 2 line-ups one for sd cable channels and one for Digital hd. I would like to get the first line-up for sd only.
where do I change the setting in GBPVR?:confused:

I'm trying to setup my HVR-1600 to use QAM. I'm able to view the preview window for the digital channels and map them to the EPG but when I try to actually watch the channel in PVRX2 I get the audio but no video. Has anyone experienced this before?

I think I have had evry possible problem withsetting up gbpvr.... Im trying to get the web admin up and running. I have followed the perscribed setup points in the documentation with no luck. I also have diabled Norton on this machine and still have issues..

No web logs but here is the config log entries..
