So I put some shows on season recording, or record all... anyways I'm trying to cancel it so it does not record the show(s) at all. Am I just overlooking a setting? I've spent forever in each menu I can find but no where does it seem to let me cancel a season.

The best I can get is for it to only keep one episode.

Thanks

I don't know where to start!

First of all thanks to all of you that support this project and make it what it is - I don't know how you all do it.

Now, to the problem...
I have had 1.1.5 (pvrx2) for a few months now and it has been working fine. I however, never set up the few digital channels that I receive over cable. I split the signal into my Avermedia M780 card, and tried to set up the new channels. At some point in the process, I wasn't able to start pvrx2 anymore - I would just get the windows "crash" "do you want to report this?" error.

I've tried everything (probably too much). I uninstalled gb-pvr and reinstalled. It "crashes" the same way at the end of the install process. I then uninstalled, deleted all registry keys and tried again. Same problem. I system restored to a point before the problem. Same problem.

I can't even get it to run at all now! What next?

Any specs available upon request...

Thanks in advance - Eric in KC

I recently picked up a HVR-1600 with the remote and i've been looking on how to use the remote with GBPVR for a while now and i cant seem to find anything that works.

I'm running VISTA 64bit
4gb ram
Intel E8400
Nvidia 8800GT

Thanks for the help

I setup 1.1.5 on a newer PC and when I try to play recordings PVRX2 crashes. I was able to play the file when it was recording. I am also able to play older videos just fine. I have zipped the log files.

P4 2.8
1 GB mem
Nvidia GeForce 6200
HVR-1600
PVR 250

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

I don't know how to fix this. I'm using Zap2xml scraper. All my channels in the EPG are showing no show details now.

I went into each cap source and deleted extraneous channels. I then went back into each cap source and emptied first, then updated the EPG. At some point I went to the channels tab and hit "remove unreferenced channels" and it only left 3 or so extraneous which I left unchecked.

I don't know why the xml file's time stamp was not matching with when I was doing the updating. It looks like it was not being updated which I guess would lead to me seeing all the crap that was there before.

I don't know why the F'n thing went TU in the first place. Ahh, I'm feeling a bit frantic.

I've tried to attach the logs and xml file. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone out there can offer.

Cheers

I've been using gbpvr for a few months now and never really had much of a problem. It's a great program. I have a plextor 402tvu or whichever that requires the GO7007 recording plugin. I have it set to output mpeg files so that I may use comskip and comclean to get rid of the commercials. I just updated to the newest version as well. Sometimes my files output as avi instead of mpg. I continually look at my setting baffled as to why the file type is wrong. It seems that there might be a difference depending on whether I click record or quick record when I want to record a program. It also outputs all my season long recurring shows as avi too. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is and how to solve it?

I think I've seen the answer, I just can't remember where.
I have a DVD that has a video on both sides, part A and part B. It's one movie, but two parts.

I've got the MPG files okay, but I can't remember how to splice them together.

Also, they're 3.6Gb and 3.9Gbs, so it'll be 7.5Gb total. Should I expect any problems streaming that to an MVP?

Hasy anyone got the TinyTwin (http://digitalnow.com.au/product_pages/TinyTwin.html) to work with GBPVR? won't recognise it on my XP Pro PC with the BDA drivers installed.

I have two HVR-1600 digital tuner cards in my computer. While my Samsung plasma TV has zero problems with my Comcast cable connection, the HVR-1600 tuners just refused to lock on to QAM channels reliably. I even went so far as to have the Comcast service tech come out and verify my signals were as good as they could be. I even bought an OnAir GT tuner to rule out the tuners, but it performed even worse. So, after fighting the futility of the cable connection, I decided to switch to over-the-air ATSC stations. According to antennaweb.org all of my stations are 20-22 miles away and in the same general direction (less than 5 degrees between stations).

I first bought a Philips PHDTV1 "Silvor Sensor Classic" desktop antenna, then later bought a Channel Master 4221 to put in my attic so I wouldn't have to stare at the desktop antenna. Unfortunately, while the antenna worked much better than cable, I still had many signal problems. Contrary to most reports I had read, my signal actually improved when we had snow on the roof, but then quickly declined when it melted off. I tried a 10db booster amp, but it had no effect on most channels and actually made other channels worse.

I finally had a day to myself, so I decided to experiment with different antennas and locations to see if I could figure out some way to improve my signal. Using the Hauppauge Signal monitor and the 4221 antenna I had in my attic, I received the following SNR levels:

KATU 25.7, KOIN 21.0, KGW 25.4, KOPB 21.0, KPTV 19.0, KRCW 17.5, KPDX 18.5

Today was a particularly bad reception day, and only two of those stations were reliable. Generally anything below 20 ends up unwatchable, and most of my channels were at or occasionally dipped below that level.

So, I disconnected the attic antenna, and tried the Silver Sensor on my office desk:

KATU 25.0, KOIN 25.0, KGW 24.0, KOPB 25.0, KPTV 23.0, KRCW 25.0, KPDX 12.5

To my surprise, the desktop antenna actually showed a better signal on most channels. But KPDX was so bad I never could get a lock.

Out of curiosity, I put the Silver Sensor in the attic and experimented with different locations.

KATU 26.5, KOIN 24.5, KGW 20.5, KOPB 23.5, KPTV 22.5, KRCW 17.5, KPDX 25.5

Ironically, some stations improved while others declined dramatically. This led me to believe the house structure or wiring was somehow interferring with my signals. So, I decided to set the Silver Sensor outside on a chair, just to see if it would behave any differenly:

KATU 26.5, KOIN 24.5, KGW 26.5, KOPB 25.5, KPTV 25.5, KRCW 23.5, KPDX 25.5

Bingo! Every channel came in strong with much fewer fluctuations. But, the Silver Sensor is not an outdoor antenna, so I pulled the 4221 out of the attic and set it on the same chair:

KATU 26.5, KOIN 25.5, KGW 24.5, KOPB 26.5, KPTV 24.5, KRCW 26.5, KPDX 24.5

Interesting. Not much different than the Silver Sensor, though still far better than I was getting in the attic. So, I decided to experiment with locations outside. The first was on the side of the house, hanging under the eave:

KATU 26.5, KOIN 25.5, KGW 24.5, KOPB 24.5, KPTV 25.5, KRCW 25.5, KPDX 26.5

Again, about the same readings. So, it came down to ease of installation. The eave location would have been out of the way, but it would have involved some complicated cable routing. In the end, I decided to mount the antenna at the very peak of the gable end, as this let me drill a single hole through the gable end and tie into the cable I already had run to the attic. After puchasing a mast and gable mounting bracket my final readings were:

KATU 26.7, KOIN 25.7, KGW 26.9, KOPB 26.4, KPTV 25.7, KRCW 25.7, KPDX 26.5

The best signal levels I had seen so far, and better yet they're consistant across all channels. KRCW is nearly 7 points higher than I was getting in the attic, and KPDX is an outstanding 13 points higher than I got with the Silver Sensor on my desktop.

Of course, I will be keeping an eye on my signal levels over the coming weeks, as I've had periodic improvements before and am not ready to call this problem solved. But it appears an outside location results in a much better signal than an indoor or attic location (regardless of the antenna used).

Hopefully my experiments will benefit someone else.

Take care,

Anthony

I set up 2 lineups on Schedules Direct. First lineup is

schedulesdirect.org/lineups/edit/0005570:-

Second lineup is

What portion of the lineups are used for the scheduling login? Should they be

and?
