I was hoping someone could shed some lite on an issue I am having.

I just got an hvr-1600 for Christmas and when I scan the cable for qam channels i find about 10 or 20. When I am looking at the picture in the preview window it is seamless.

When i start trying to watch these channels in GBPVR there is frequent skipping and hiccups.

I feel like it must be some setting since it runs so well during the mapping. Any suggestions or help is much appreciated!

Sub:

Comcast keeps making changes that are messing up my tuning. Happened yesterday on Fox. I am using Clear Qam on an Aver M780 card. Fox is mapped by Comcast, normally, to channel 2.1, but is physically on channel 115, program 2.

In GBPVR, I have cut and pasted the entire tuning string into the source tuning parameter location. However, last night, during the Orange Bowl, it stopped working. My TV tuner maps over to the "2.1" named location, and also stopped working. However, the Aver software, crappy as it is, still tuned the program!

What I found by re-scanning just channel 115 is that all of the tuning parameters changed, then name was dropped, but the program was still 115.2. Therefore, my TV could not find it (no longer name-mapped), neither could pvrx2 (no longer proper tuning parameters), but Aver could (cannot see what they do, but presumably they just point to channel 115, program #2).

So, in the tuner setup, instead of listing all the tuning parameters, is there a way to simply specify physical channel 115, program #2? It seems whenever they mess things up, the channel and program remain in the right place, but the tuning parameters change. I have found the same on channel 125, which houses about a dozen SD channels. The program number stays correct, but the tuning parameters change. If I re-scan and cut and paste from the Cache file, all is good again for a month or two.

Here is the old tuning string:
T:115,2,1~P:2~V:33~A:35~PMT:32~N:>2.1 Kasa (000(AC3))

Here is the new tuning string last night:
T:115,115,1~P:2~V:49~A:52~PMT:32~PCR:49~N:>115.1 Unknown1 (000(AC3))

Here is the listing from SiliconDust:

Sorry if I missed a previous post discussing this -- I searched every which way I could, but didn't find anything.

I just built a HTPC out of an old system I had (P4/1.4ghz, 512, 160GB, DVD, ATI Radeon 9200SE AGP, PVR500, and PVR150 all in a very cute NMediaPC HTPC case). Apparently, the 9200SE video card is too wimpy for PVRX2, which is fine since most of the time we're watching our recorded shows via the two MediaMVPs which uses the PVRX2 interface nicely. I figured I'd just use GBPVR on the HTPC (rather than PVRX2) until I find a cheap but working video card upgrade.

So I've encountered a little annoying thing with the TV Guide display. The TVGuideChannelHeaderType is set to "1" (to show the channel # and name), and that works fine in PVRX2 TV Guide. However in the GBPVR TV Guide all that shows is the name (no channel #).

Is there a way to make it work the same in both GBPVR and PVRX2? This is a completely new install, and I'm using the default Blue skin for both, so it's not something I did in my usual dinking with the skins.

Also, is the Skin folder for GBPVR and the Skin2 folder for PVRX2? I noticed I try to copy an older pre-PVRX2 tweaked skin file over to replace the Blue skin in the Skin folder, the next time I start GBPVR (not PVRX2) I get that "reinstall" GBPVR scenario, where I'm assuming it's reinstalling the default Blue skin over my replacement Blue skin(?)

I have installed older plug-ins like the Sports Plug-In,Music Library and the MusicBox plug-in. They come up initially but they seem to suffer from a common problem where after a few remote button clicks once in the plug-in PVRX2 locks up and it takes a long time to get back to the main menu. If I navigate within the plugin with the keyboard the same problem doesn't seem to occur.

Anyone have any ideas/fixes?

I having a big problem...
My normal recorder software is from cyberlink...
I think it is an analog card.
Does anybody know how to make this card work with gbpvr?:confused:

I have tryed alot, without succes...

Please help!

Hi - can anyone help with this? I installed 1.1.5 - which appears to run OK.

However, I cannot get any data into the EPG. This is what I did (from memory - I am on a different computer at the moment):

1. Created a directory c:\xmltv
2. Downloaded xmltv 0.5.50 (latest version?)
3. Unzipped it in c:\xmltv
4. From a command line I ran

Would it be possible to add a feature whereby instead of setting something to record in the future, you could create a reminder for you to watch the programme selected? Just something like a popup at the bottom of the screen say 10 minutes before the programme starts?

In my situation where i dont have masses of hard drive space i would find this quite useful!

Thanks again for an awesome piece of software!

recently got a dbox 500s so thought i;d try this plugin but can't get GBPVR to recognise it as a capture source?

if i try ro register the dll manually, i get error message

"dboxrecorder.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered"

tried on two pc's running latest gbpvr, any ideas?

Hi,

I've been looking at this software today and am completely new at this so I was wondeirng if I could get some help.

I have a Creatix CTX917 V.1 card, which according to their website is a DVB-T/TV-Tuner Card. It came with the computer I bought from Lidl in Norway. I know that's the card because that's what it says on the actual card.

I downloaded and installed the latest one as of today, v.1.1.5.

Under Capture Source, which one am I suppose to pick? Direct Recording Plugin, GO7007SB Recording Plugin or the BDA one? I wasn't sure so I selected all three each and tried to see what I get in settings, and tried to follow the guides, but it doesn't work. And when I click on "show only installed" I don't see Creatix CTX917, but some other cards come up.

I know that Creatix CTX917 is not listed under the detalied card list, so I was wondering if I have to add it like it is explained on the wiki? I just get a little confused because my card name is not listed in the detailed list, so I think, ok, I have to add my card. But then when I click on "show only installed", some cards come up, so then I think, well maybe it is installed, and I don't need to add it?

Thanks in advance:confused:

Please can someone summarise the proper method and location for deploying the theme files using that tool with two directory path inserts. I'm a bit confused whether to still install the file called community.exe also as I only use pvrx2. I got the latest SkinPlugin 3.1.1
I also have the themes changer installed and accidentally got them to work. Some backgrounds don't set set themselves into place. Shall I unpack the themes inside community 3 in skins2 folder although there seems to be lot of stuff there already?
