Am not gonna want to watch it, not having the big flash tv and all.

But I am keen to record some of it for later/taking to a friends to watch on their tv.

So have currently got a DVB-S Channel Source, and the two PVR500 channel sources - these I've labelled all the channels the same so that they'll all pick up the same programmes.

What I'm thinking of doing with the DVB-T is keeping these "separate" and creating some new channels so they don't record the normal tv1, 2, 3 stuff.

Question is, based on what we've seen about the HD, do we know if we will get any indication in the EPG as to a program that is in HD, so i can force it to record on the DVB-T rather than one of the other 3 sources??

And is this part of the MHPEG5 (whatever) based epg that isn't supported yet?

I just installed the latest version (1.2.9) on my Windows XP machine and when I try to play live tv, it plays fine for about 10 secs, then the video and audio start stuttering and finally freezes. The application is not frozen as I can press esc and get out.

Now, if, while I am watching live tv, I press the pause button for a sec or 2, then it works fine.

I have a PVR-250 and it works great with MythTV. Actually, it worked great with the previous version of this app too...

Any ideas?

Thanks!!!

I am having problems with zprocess. I pick an avi (I've tried several), start transcoding, but it never creates the mpg. I know something is happening, because the audio will be playing in the background in my computer (and to stop it, I have to manually kill the mplayer process) I've played around with it some, but any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

If I have a season of TV shows, and I want to import them into my system as Mpeg2 files, what's the best way.

Currently for DVDs and movies I use DVDtoMPEG and MovieWiz.

I can manually pull each episode off, but it's not easy.

Any thoughts?

I have everything connected, using latest software & firmware.

I'm following the instructions here, but when I go to add the tuner, "BDA Recording Source" is not an option.

The listings I have are: ExternalRecorder Plugin, Analog Recording Plugin, Analog High Def Recording Plugin, Digital Recording Plugin, and External Recorder Plugin (IRecordingSourceConfiguration).

Do I need to install another plugin?

My wife is complaining that she can not enter a channel number in the guide to goto that entry to see what is on. My BEV sat receiver has this ability, and with having potentially 300 + channels there is a lot to go through to get to one particular channel.

Thanks

I upgraded to gbpvr 1.2.9 and installed the latest basic skin. After doing so I restarted my Hauppauge MVP, but it keeps rebooting.
Any idea where to look?

I had GBPVR working with a PVR 350 card. I wanted to add a second card so I could record two programs at a time. I bought a PVR 150 MCE card.

I saw elsewhere in the forums that I should install the drivers for the regular PVR 150 card. I downloaded them from Hauppauge and did that, at least I think I did.

In CONFIG when I try to add a Recording Source and have it only list the cards it finds, it shows the new card as PVR 150 MCE (or something like that). I select that card and things don't work well. I won't elaborate about the particular problems right now. Read on.

To try to isolate the problem I removed the PVR350 card and just left the PVR150MCE dcard in. I reinstalled the drivers (I think). The GBRecordingService (or something like that) in Task Manager start running and keeps going at 100% cpu load. I let it run for an hour and still no change.

I deleted all the error logs and rebooted. I started PVRX2 and went into TV Listings and selected a program to "Watch". The Recordingservice in Task Manager ran at 100% cpu load. I killed it and looked at the logs.

The PVRX2.exe log had the foollowing entry at its end.

Can you help me with what I need to do to correct this?

Hi all,

I had been running 10105 off my laptop as a remote & it was working well until a recient round of Vista patches.

Now GB-PVR wants to install itself at every boot up. I can't uninstall, I can't install a more recient version overtop of it. I've of course deleted the .msi file & now I'm a bit boned.

Does anyone either have the .msi for this build or are there manual uninstall instrtuctions to get it off my system? I'd be happy to upgrade... if I could.

Cheers!
Dave

After digging for quite a while in this forum I can not find the answer to my question.
I use VMR 9 FSE because this gives me the most fluid gbpvr experience.
Menu's animate smoother and video is displayed without losing frames.
The only thing is that I can not get any control over video contrast and brightness.
I use the Ati Video Decoder which gives me quite a low contrast picture.
The trial version of Purevideo gives me a better picture, but 'freezes' PVRX2 sometimes when skipping or just starting a video.

I use Ati's catalyst control center to adjust video settings in Windows XP.
Adjusting the Avivo properties only affect video in 'overlay mode'.
And screen setting adjustments are 'canceled' when I enter PVRX2 in FSE mode.

Can someone tell me how to take control over image quality using Ati Video Decoder in Full Screen Exclusive mode ?
