I'm using mc2xml for my EPG data. Since a few weeks I have a problem with the channel Sat1. The tv data seems to have a offset of 1 hour per week, in the first week afte update the show is recorded 1h to early, in the next week 2h. Does someone have the same problem?
I'm getting a real strange error, and as my title shows, I don't even know what to call it. Currently I'm only using GB-PVR with a monitor, I haven't worked on making it work with a TV yet. I can't make it display full-screen (might be a video card problem), but that's fine. I just shrink the window and watch things. About two weeks ago, two of my channels suddenly failed to shrink down to the window like they should.
Here's a a screenshot of one of the stations.
This is an NBC station, and it's from Late Night With Conan O'Brien. The woman should be centered on the screen, but for some reason she's not. All the right part of the screen is being lost. I've got the same thing going on with another channel, but then all the rest of the channels are displaying fine, with the correct aspect ratio in the window. I'm receiving digital OTA signals with an antenna. Any ideas on what would cause that?
I am hoping some one can help. I am unable to successfully install GB PVR, at the end of the installation the following 6 errors occur and GB PVR does not install successfully.

I have com skip run while my recordings are taking place, so when I go to burn a dvd after the fact the commercials are already marked. In Skiptool I see the commercial marks, and I set the ComSkip setting to Comm Trim but it doesn't cut my commercials when I burn the dvd. I saw something on the wiki about mencoder cutting the commercials so I installed it. Is there any special configuration needed, or an additional programs needed to get the commercials cut prior to or during the burn of the dvd?
I have decided to upgrade the video card in my MCPC
2 of the choices i have are:
Asus 9600GT is $200.47 + GST
next step up is the ASUS Extreme N9800GT Hybrid Power/HTDI/512M
@ $249 + GST.
I would like a video card that has HDMI ouputs - which apparently the above do. I do not yet have a HDTV - but its in the pipeline- so i do want a card that can suitably output 720p and 1080i (which are the 2 formats used by Freeview NZ).
For the moment the card also needs to be able to output in composite via tv out/adapter - so i can use on current tv until the hdtv gets purchased.
Does anyone have any positive/negative feedback on those 2 models - or even better have a more suitable recommendation based on my needs above?
I should say that i currently have an ASUS EN7300 and the 1080i broadcasts seem quite jittery - more so than the 720p broadcasts which the EN7300 seems to handle better.
Aloha
I have downloaded and tried to setup my card, but have not been successful yet. Is there a simple step by step? I get it to scan ok, but can not get the EPG channels to show up. I am running Vista Hone Basic 32 bit. Any suggestions?
Ive read a few things in relation to CUDA and Nvidia cards (because of news of similair ATI support) and wondered if ffmpeg or similair apps can make use of graphics cards processing power.
I use MVP's and would love to be able to use my gfx (8800gt) to transode avi or wmv to mpeg whilst not hogging my cpu during day to day use.
Ive read a little about ffmpeg being able to use CUDA functionality, but dont know how realistic it is?
I'm using GBPVR 1.3.7 with PowerDVD 8 and an MSI 8500GT graphics card for hardware decoding of H.264 DVB-T signals. My HTPC is connected to my Sony Bravia 1080i LCD screen via HDMI. I am really happy with the quality of all New Zealand Freeview channels except TV3.
While watching TV3 recordings or live tv there are always 'ghost trails' left behind objects as they move around the screen. This is especially noticeable on panning shots and where there are fast moving objects.
From what I have read I think this is being caused by TV3 using a 1080i interlaced signal. Is there anything I can do (different settings, different software, etc?) to improve the picture quality of this channel?
Within the GBPVR config I have the following playback settings
Code:
Video Render: EVR
Video Decoder: CyberLink Video/SP Decord (PDVD8)
Audio Decoder: CyberLink Audio Decoder (PDVD8)
AC3 Decoder: System Default
Audio Render: System Default
H.264 Decoder: CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder (PDVD8)
AAC Decoder: System Default
HE-AAC Decoder: System Default
Within the CyberLink settings I have DVXR (I think thats what it was called) checked and have tried Auto, Force Bob and Force Weave for the Interlace settings. Bob and Weave give better results than Auto but it still quite ugly to watch.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as there are so many of my favourite shows on TV3 that I would like to watch!
