First let me say that I am a total newbie with this program so I apologize if my questions are stupid or not worth anyones time. That said, I love this program and am using it extensively as my tuner in my home. I have a Hauppauge PVR150 (non mce version). My problem is that I can't seem to get DVD's to play. When I select DVD from the main menu all I get is a black screen. Also, is there a way to change which input I want to view. That is, can I switch from the tuner to the composite input or svga input and such? Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise - WOW! What a great program!

I know ML2 is probably your main focus now, but any chance of getting Recordings2 up and going for 1.1.15? I enjoyed this plugin in the pre 1.0 versions of gbpvr. Thanks.
How can I set GBPVR to 16:10? Using NVIDIA decoders with 8600 GT, PVRX2 in EVR mode displays borders correctly. But in GBPVR using overlay mode the video is stretched with no borders. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
A minor bug/point: If I navigate to a recording show on the guide I only get a play option, when sometimes I'd like to watch it live on a free tuner. I think this was possible on some previous versions of GBPVR, but seems to have changed for PVRX2. The workaround is to watch an adjacent channel and then channel change down to the recording channel but it would be good to have to play watch option back.
I'm in the process of re-building my GBPVR machine which has two tuners (a Nova-t 500 and a Leadtek LR6650) and bringing it up to the latest GBPVR software revision.
I installed the Nova-T first and setup the two tuners. everything seems to work fine including Live TV.
I've now added the LR6650 and whilst recordings remain ok, I can't get live TV to work properly. I assume Live TV is now defaulting to the LR6650.
When I start live TV I get sound/picture after about 5 seconds. If I change channel by any method, after 4-5 seconds the screen goes black then the channel details of the new channel appear for a brief second before the screen returns to the main menu. This means it is impossible to change channel on the MVP without it dropping to the main menu.
Channel change on the PC is ok. Tried adjusting the pre-delay up and down but it didn't seem to make any difference.
I have the Hauppauge HVR-1600 and I'm using the IR Blaster (non-MCE version) in Windows Vista, using HaupBlast.exe. I can change channels fine in PVRX2 and it blasts properly but any recording I schedule does not blast. I changed the logon to my account for the GBPVR recording service. This does work in XP.
I have connected both a satellite signal through S-Video and cable. When I schedule a recording on my cable input it goes to the channel properly so it is only the IR blaster that is not working.
Been running with a Hauppauge Nova-T (90002) for about 6 months. Tried to add a Hauppauge Nova-T 500 today... couldn't get it to work for a while with the error:
"GB-PRV was unable to start the BDA device you have configured. Check the device is configured properly, and not already in use.(Reason: Failed to locate configured BDA capture device).
Finally when I removed the first card and told the system that the new card was "Device No. 1" it was okay. But now I get the same error when I put the original card back in....
Am I trying to do something I shouldn't? Should it handle the 2 cards (3 tuners) okay?
I've seen a few threads here where people are using these things so I thought I would post this up, just in case... Seems that they can possibly set your house on fire. :eek:
