I installed the hali splitter thing mentioned in another post and got mp4 playback perfectly. Unfortunately it broke everything else (I think it was trying to get involved with mpeg and avi decoding too) and I was unable to watch any recorded shows until I uninstalled it. I remember that on installation it had loads of tick boxes as to what it will attempt to decode (although I couldn't find the equivalent options in it's setting page after installation) so what are the minimum ticks I need to set in order to get mp4 playback with hali, but leave all other formats handled as they were before?

Alternatively are there any other codecs / splitters / whatevers out there that I could use instead that would be a bit easier for me to get working?

Had a Nova-T working perfect with GBPVVR & XP on my old computer. Recently bought a new Vista x64 machine and i am having issue's setting up GBPVR with my Nova card.

I lost the supplied CD that came with the card, so i downloaded the cd from the Hauppauge website. Under device manager, instead of being listed as a Nova-T 500 as on my old XP machine, the card is listed as a Nova-DT IR.

When trying to setup GBPVR, when adding the source there is no option for BDA, just the digital record and 2 analog options. From memory im sure i had setup with the BDA option on my XP machine.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

So, I'm rebuilding my HTPC using an HVR-1600. I have a PVR-150 as well, but it's not installed at the moment. I've used x64 (the only extra copy of an OS I have on hand) with the PVR-150 before and it's worked just fine. Anyway, onto my problem.

I've installed the Hauppague WinTV software and it views my analog cable TV just fine (I haven't gotten to the point of even trying the ATSC yet). But when I go into GBPVR and hit up live TV (or any channel through the guid, of course), it struggles with a black screen and then dies back to the previous menu. Am I missing something painfully obvious? I thought I had it working on my previous build (different box) but the motherboard crapped out pretty quickly after I installed it so I'm not positive I wasn't just using the 150 entirely.

Anyway, I did notice that the logs do thow a semi useless error (to me, at least) when they die.

has anyone had any success with converting the .TS file into a m2ts file that the ps3 can play?

Or even a mp4 file?

I'm having so many problems that I'm beginning to think if the HD PVR is even worth it anymore.

The included arcsoft converter doesn't work, the m2ts files don't play correctly.

I managed to demux the .264 + aac file (using tsmuxer) from the .TS file but sony vegas 9 Platinum can not load the .264 file, keeps giving me errors saying that the file is unknown but i can open it in Powerdvd.

in the gamezone setup page where your supposed to use a I or whatever the line looking thing is?

Sorry if im not making sense.

when your setting up your roms locations, there is a line that asks for what type of files the roms are

EXAMPLE: iso, bin, zip, - whatever

what is the "I" seperator line character thing they want you to use? I'll be darned if I can find it on my keyboard.

Is it an ascii code?

heres a list...

Hello!
First post. Just installed GB-PVR and after installation it went to the config screen.
The problem is that there is no text... just boxes with big reg X's in them.
Any idea what might be going on here?
Thank you!!

HI,
Has anyone out there managed to get the DTV1000s working correctly with GBPVR? These cards are good, and work with Media Portal and MCE just fine. However in GBPVR, it only picks up channel 7 (multiple instances, which is odd). The live TV part is totally erratic. When coming out of timeshifting, the sound is out of sync. It won't play, it won't stop, just totally unusable really, which is a shame, as the video side of GBPVR seems work really good, especially the menu system, and the fast forward and rewind. Mediaportal has quite a bit of trouble in that department, but the live TV part works OK. If you could just combine the Video part of GBPVR and the live TV part of MP....

I'm just looking at using my PC as a media system, with a Hauppauge TV card and MVP. Can I watch live TV, and DVDs from my PC drive on the MVP(not at the same time!)
Also, I am running standard XP so do I just need to install the MVP,TV card and GBPVR software and I'm away or is it a bit more complex than that?

I've been using GB-PVR for a while now and extending it to my tv with a Media MVP. I was wondering if there's any way to get the same functionality as my MVP on another computer/laptop. I did a quick search, but everything was about extending to a television, not a computer. I know I can run remote desktop, or something similar, but I was hoping there's a better solution.

TIA.

There are a few channels that pop and skip in the audio when showing live TV. I've tried all different settings, including sound encoders, different renderers, using live preview mode. Other channels seems to be fine but several consistently seem to have this problem. The might be okay for the first few minutes and then start showing problems.

The weird thing is that the problem channels (including the one that is really bad) work perfectly when using the TV software that came with the card (Hypermedia).

The machine is a new quad-core with 4 Gigs of RAM, ATI 4800, 1TB hard drive and I'm using a KWorld T210 digital tuner.

Can anyone offer any suggestions to improve things? Thanks.
