If I press the Blue button qhile watching a recorded tv show or a video a little something pops up at the bottom of the screen with the details of what I'm currently watching.
I remember this was working while watching LIVE TV as well, but it stopped some time ago. Now it does something else, but can't tell what, because if I press it all other buttons stop to respond. I have to quit watching TV and start again...
What does the blue button do in Live TV and how can I pop-up the current show info in Live TV?
I have a wired MVP which will not start up fully. It gets passed the messages -
'configuring wired device' and 'loading application'. It then displays 'contacting servers' but gets no further (no matter how long I leave it).
It gets its IP address from my broadband router which it does successfully as I can see it in the MVP setup screen.
Windows firewall is turned off (no other firewalls running)
Using the standard 1.2.9 dongle.bin and have tried other versions.
1 mvp server enabled in config.xml
If I enable the Hauppauge MVP services it starts up and displays the Hauppauge menu fine.
It has worked once a few weeks ago after I first installed gbpvr.
After playing a recording and stopping the playback PVRX2 does not prevent the automatic standby after 5 minutes as set in the power config of XP
After playing from the music library and stopping the playback there is (often/always?) no automatic standby.
Has this been seen by others?
Apologies in advance for the noob question - I did a search and reviewed the wiki but never seemed to get the right answer.
I'm using a HDHR with Comcast Cable and then running GB-PVR on a HP MSS (WHS).
I'm purely intending to use this to record TV rather than watch live TV and it works fine for the standard and HD channels. Setup was a breeze thanks to the instructions on the Silicondust forum (thanks Whurlston).
Here is my issue. I want to be able to record ondemand chanels err.... on demand .
There are 40 channels that ondemand can be on and I have added all of these to my 'Digital Cable.xml' definition for the HDHR. GB-PVR scans this list of channels but only adds the active ones. Of course at any one time only a small subset of channels are being used.
Is there a file that I can manually edit that allows me to say
Channel 'Ondeamd 101-4' maps to 86.1 on the HDHR
Channel 'Ondeamd 101-5' maps to 86.2 on the HDHR
etc etc
even if channel 101-4 is currently not being used and therefore not found in the autoscan?
Also as an aside if I create a new channel on my list (ondemand1 for example) and I map an ondemand channel to it then the 'record manual' option does not seem to work. Take a 'real' channel (say Flix) and map the same channel to it and then configure a manual recording and it works fine.
I'm running the latest HDHR and GB-PVR
Answers along the lines of... "You didn't look at the wiki very hard, search for info on file XXXXX.XXX" much appreciated.
I'm copying this post from a PM on the NMT forums. The poster will likely add to this tomorrow with logs, but I'm posting it to see if anyone has suggestions. I don't know the difference between 720p and 1280x720 pixel mapped but I do tell PCH that I want 720p output.

"I've been using mvpmcx2 for a while now, and it works great. I have a 720p compatible plasma and therefor I gladly applied the new 720 patch that you've created and now mvpmcx2 doesn't start. I have updated mvpmcx2 to the latest version. The plasma can handle 720p 60 Hz but not 1280x720 pixel mapped, could this be the problem?
Been banging my head against the wall here on this one. I'm trying to make the transition from analog-only to HD digital pvr.
I bought a whole new box of parts and got everything setup for the most part.
For starters - I wanted to just pass my signal from my HD STB to my HVR-1800 to record in HD. I will later setup the IR blaster to control the STB.
So my wiring is like this:
coax digital cable->HD STB->coax to ATSC Digital TV Antenna slot.
I'm sorry if I'm an idiot - but am I completely wrong that this would work?
When I connected it to the analog Cable TV connector it obviously wasn't being passed through in HD.
When I try to add it this way and click on Map Digital Channels it gives me an error that it isn't setup correctly - which I'm sure it isn't .
Can anyone shine a light on the new digital world for me? Thanks in advance!
Upgraded to 1.2.9 and now my channel changer isn't working. I am using HIP and a MCE remote and blaster to control a dishnet stb. I haven't had this problem with previous upgrades.
I can go into the HIP and use the Test IR function and it all works so I am confident that the hardware is all still functioning and HIP is talking to it.
Just can't figure out why GBPVR or PVRX2 no longer appear to communicate with hip.
Deleted everything and restored my 1.1.5 install and the channel changer still isn't working.
as per here - same happens in standard blue skin, pretty sure it used to show icons too
logs attached... these are from the client machine, not sure if it'll matter - can put up server logs if required.
