Help! I have 2 tuners Hauppauge HVR 4000 and PVR 150MCE installed at the same time under Vista 32 bit. The 4000 does digital tv fine as device1. The PVR150MCE also installes as device1. Tuning assistant sees the analog card (PVR150) and sets channels, but PVRX2 will only show the Digital tuner. The Device Type utility only sees the PVR150MCE as device1. It does not recognise the Digital card at all. Neither device will run with other settings than as device 1. What is hapening? What should I do?

quick question about xml files

I know theres options in gbpvr for sched direct etc when it comes to duplicate recordings - is it possible (a plugin, maybe?) to avoid duplicates when the xml data is identical? sky tv has a lovely habit of having the same show at least twice a day, and often after that...

anyone know of any plugins or what have you that might offer this functionality?

cheers

Hi

I have just upgraded to version 1.2.9 after many happy years of GBPVR use. I already have a freecom v2 stick and have decommisioned an older PVR 150 and replaced with a Nova-td USB stick. I uninstalled all wintv drivers and software and then put in the latest drivers off the Hauppauge site and the software.

I have the new nova-td stick working fine in Wintv software and it picks up all the UK DVB TV channels fine. I have kept it in diversity mode because I have poor reception in my flat and in this mode it picks up all channels well

When I add a new device in GBPVR I have picked the first Nova TD option on the list of devices below for diversity mode:
Hauppauge Nova-TD
Hauppauge Nova-TD Tuner 1
Hauppauge WinTV MOD7700 DVB-T #1

I then scanned channels and this is where the problem is. Occasionally the GBPVR scanning software finds some of the channels but mostly in any given block it recognises a signal (e.g. strength 5000, quality 60) and pauses but then fails to pick up any channels and add to the list. I assume this is a problem with the signal quality, but I cant understand why the Wintv software works fine with the same 2 amplified indoor aerials (I cant put up a roof aerial for my flat)

The channel scan for the Freecom stick had a couple of tries and then worked for all channels (though reception of some is more jumpy than the Nova-td since it doesnt have the diversity technology hence why I want to ad the NOva-td stick too)

Also in GBPVR neither the few channels picked up by the Nova-td or the ones picked up by Freecom stick can update their EPGs (they are both set to DVB-T digital EPG download)

Any help much appreciated- config and logs attached- i have spent a very frustrating Sunday on this!!

Is it possible to search the TV guide like when using pvrx2?

If so, how?

I am setting up my Popcornhour. I am getting close and it looks like I am only one step from success.

I can get the Popcornhour to see and play video files on my PC through a share I defined which points to them. I also get the telnet.html file from PCH and on PCH I can get a choice of choosing telnet or GB-PVR.

When I try to telnet to PCH from the PC, I get a message "Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed." I've turned off my firewall (both the one I normally use--Comodo and the Windows Firewall).

Any suggestions on what I am missing?

Iäm using schedules direct, is it possible to only record New shows(premieres) with 1.2.9?

I'd like to record a whole new season of ,for instance Futurama, but they are showing so many reruns of older seasons that I am not interested in. Is there a way of only revording certain seasons or only premieres?

I just got my Popcorn Hour and have gotten it to use its software to access files on my PC.

Now I want to have it use the GBPVR interface. The Installation and Survival Guide refers to setting up an "mvpmc share" on the PC. What specific directory do I set up the share to point to?

Quote:[I]Some Vista have reported they have had to replace username=guest with username=root and if their share is read/write they needed to replace ,ro with ,rw too.

Are VistaView Saber DA-1N1-I Combo Analog/Digital PCI TV Tuner Cards (hardware encoding with ViXS’ XCode II video processor) working with GB-PVR v1.2.9?
