Ok i have a strange problem BUT its not GBPVR related but i thought this might be a good place to ask.This also occurs in the SageTV i downloaded 21 day trial so i think this is a windows related problem.
My system specs below:

P4 3.0 2 gig of ram.
Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 motherboard.
Geforce 6200 Vid card.
XP Pro service pack 3
Soundblaster Live soundcard
2 Hauppauge 1600 model # 1183 they come with MCE remotes which work fine in GBPVR

The problem is if i put the PC into either hibernation or "S3" standby. If i record 2 shows at same time one of the shows i record will have distorted sound. This only occurs if the PC wakes itself for the recording. If i wake the PC myself both cards work fine. Very frustrating as i dont want to have to leave the PC on always or have to wake PC before the recording.

Iam hoping there is some kind of solution.

Hello folks,

Has anyone else noticed that you can't get rid of the task bar along the bottom of the screen when using Aero?

Couldn't find any refernces to this in the forums so it doesn't appear to be a common problem but if anyone knows of any fixes that would be great!

Meanwhile I can live without Aero but not without GB-PVR, great bit of software, thanks Sub

Cheers
Al

I'm ready to make the jump to HDTV and get an Aquos LC52D64 but I have a few concerns. My current setup has been rock solid and I can't give up the great flexiblity and features of GBPVR.

1. What changes can I expect between my current setup and the new one (Aside from HDTV resolution of course)?
   
2. Will I be able to run the new HDTV epuipment off of my current server?
   
3. Has anyone had troubles setting up the IR Blaster with either:
   • Motorolla DCT6200 (Shaw Cable)
     
   • Bell ExpressVu S6141
     
4. Any other supprizes I should be aware of or will the new HD equipment function pretty much like my current standard definition setup?
   

Preface:
I have used ATI All in Wonders since , well since cave man times :-) i just use them to "put TV on the computer" i am working on , NOT to "turn the computer INTO a tv" which IMO is a big difference.
so the TV just sits up on the corner of the screen and makes noise , whil'st i work and surf and so on.
It's the video card, it's the tuner, it's BOTH in one thing, which assumes that it has less data to transfer across the buss, less cpu need , and more efficient use of the GPU, that is the assumption anyway.

ATI dumped the "Media" line, and all hopes of getting "Digitally compressed noise" on my computer were dashed.
when lo-and-behold Diamond put out a "HDTV" All In Wonder out that has a kick butt GPU , Fast memory and (the cool part) a TV with a Hybrid analog/ digital tuner in it.

Of course it also has that nasty Catalyst media center junk hard to install software, and its usual poor programming, and it's so bad what they have done, but the TOP reason why i need a way around the Catalyst media center junk is:
It wont do QAM DIGITAL without VISTA, ASTC over the air fine, just not cable. :-( dang and i just bought another licence for XP for my other computer too .

So i find the "Best PVR program that you can get" (according to many people that is GBPVR) and it looks like a really well thought out, well designed, hunk of software.

INSTALATION:
the instalation went fine, of this NEW version of it, My exact card the Diamond HDTV All In Wonder Premium, is not directally supported, but the drivers they toss into ATI stuff are often "One Size Fits All" and sure enough the 650, or the Ati Wonder Elite configurations both readily adapted to my new nightmare.

What i COULD do, with a DIamond All In Wonder (hdtv)
I was able to get it set up as an analog source, found a way to shove a EPG in, and had it going in short time, the implementation of the guide at least blows the ati media centers implementation away.
It will run in VMR 7 VMR 9 , and Ovelay (the one i really want)
AND
i get only 3% cpu consumption on a Intel Core 2 6600 chip, when recording.
COOOL (Way less than catlyst media), and i still get ATI cleanup , de-interlace , edge sharpening, and temporal filtering, all occuring nicely.
SO
i got me a great 69 channel, digitally cleaned up, analog bunch of channels and a descent pic on the wide screen monitor.

What i CANT do:
Every time i try to get it to lock up or scan or initiate a Digital channel, even the first scan of digital via configuring it for a 650 , BOOM! out goes the lights, the computer completly crashes .

What i am doing
i am of course still reading the entire web page here :-) forum , guides, Pages and Pages of stuff, weeding through everything, but not comming up with any answers, so i registered, and Here i am.

i can get logs or something if that is important:
i reiterate, analog works wonderfully, the first touch of digital (QAM) scanning, and it croaks.

Notes: Diamond put QAM all over the box, it's all in thier adds everywhere, but they sorta didnt indicate well ,that it won't work in QAM without Vista :-(
Well i dont really want vista, unless hell was freezing over or something :-)
besides isnt it just a frequency issue? the card DOES do over the air Digial ASTC just fine.
(added) further testing of ASTC (i dont have antenna because i got hills on both sides so no reception) in GBPVR, and even its "digital" scan and BOOM! again, the whole computer bails out.

Thank you for your support.

more notes: the recording can not be stopped, or the tv will not work right, so if YOU are trying to get that board to work with GBPVR then just know that stopping the (time shift) recording might not be a good idea. stopping it in the systray icon, or in the config stuff, either way and the card does not work right with the software. this is no problem for me at all. but if your trying to get it to work, you will want to know that.

I have just installed GBPVR on a friend's machine and cannot get the DVD, or live tv to work. When I try to run either of these functions the screen goes black, the pointer goes away and it stays that way until I push "back/exit" on the remote.
Both the DVD, and live channel TV work when I use the applications that installed with the Hauppauge MinTV-HVR-1600 so I believe the hardware is ok. I have tried numerous settings in the config, read the wiki, and copied settings from my working GBPVR installation, all to no avail:confused:

This is the hardware I'm using
Pentium 4@ 2800 Mhz
1024 MB RAM
GeForce FX 5200
Win xp Pro sp2
Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1600
GBPVR 1.2.13
160 GB disk

Hi,
when I click live tv nothing happends and i get the main menu back. I know this has been covered before but ive tried all the soltions ive found, like I added record service to the exceptions list ive played with the playback setting, ive updated my epg. Can anyone tell me what ive havent done. I use wintv usb2 with directv I dont know how to setup the reciever to work with gbpvr so i just use the directv reciever to turn the channels. any help is greatly appreciated

Hello,
I am wondering if you would release a linux version for this program. I'm getting sick of windows and two programs keeps me there, one is GB-PVR and if you would port it for linux that would help me out alot.

So what do you say about a linux version?

I added an ATSC tuner so I could watch NBC and one channel has a couple lines of hash on the top of the image. None of the other channels have this issue. Do I limit the size of the displayed image to remove this?

What would you recommend for a newbie in terms of a XMLTV tool and free source for guide data ?

If I enable Multidec with the MDAPIFilter2.2 I get the following popup. When this happens, I don't see anything in the logs. Or at least, I'm not sure which log the error might appear in. This happens whenever the MD is enabled. In pvrx2, config and recording service.
