I notice a lot of posts refer to 'when the system comes out of hibernate ...'

I am thinking of setting mine up to hibernate rather than needing to purchase a small forest to offset my carbon generation .

Is there anything special that has to be setup either in the bios or in windows, or do I just enable hibernate?.

If I have recordings scheduled how does the system restart to make the recording?

Is it possible to remove the delete and transcode commands from the video library submenu.

It would make it a lot easier for the kids to do less damage!!!!

How do I get the damn thing to output the subject! I have the poxy NVidia Control Center which doesn't allow me to specify the outputs - only Autodetect, which insists I am using Composite/NTSC when its actually SVideo/PAL-BG (Australia).

Ok , just replaced my noisy old X850XT with a HD2400Pro this evening. So far other than a few missing resolutions , the new card appears to look much better /brighter than the old card. The one problem I am have is it will not play any of my h.264 movies anymore. It ran fine on the old card and this card is suppose to do h.264 better but all I get is green blotches on the screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled the h.264 codec but that didn't help any. Anyone that has upgraded to this style card had any luck getting h.264 to work?

Thanks

So, I can't get my aspect ratio to work in EVR. I have a custom setting in my config.xml with -.20,0,1.20,1. It works fine with VMR and Overlay, but when I flip through the aspect ratios in EVR my custom setting doesn't show up. Any ideas?

btw, I LOVE the new EVR. It fixed my stutter problem. Thanks!!!

Earlier this week (I think on the 12th) I was setting up "season" recordings for the first time, had manually set recordings prior. Exploring through, I opened the first instance of CSI. Then, by mistake, instead of hitting the remote "back" button, I hit the "cancel" on screen, and of course the recording session went away.

So, I simply tried to set it up again. I went through the whole recording setup, and then when I hit "record" at the bottom, it takes me back the the EPG, but the selected show is not red. After several tries, I hit "Quick Record", and that worked, show now red.

Now move forward to the 13th. CSI is at 8:00. Around 10:00, I go to watch it, and gasp, it is not there. There are two very short recordings, one about 5 seconds, and one corrupt and a bit longer. Without a trace, same channel, recorded just fine at 9:00.

I am thinking (but don't really know) that perhaps something in the recordings database remained, at a higher priority, but not enough info to record. Thus, the "quick record" got bumped for the scrap left in the database at a higher priority, but nothing recorded. The 5 seconds could be at the very end, when the "priority" missing record let go, quick record took over, then immediately "Without A Trace" (season) kicked it back off. Just theorizing here.

I am putting in the logs of the recording program on the 13th (logs13.zip), as well as all of the logs form the 12th. I also just tried playing, at an unimportant timeslot, on the 14th, putting in a seasonal recording, then cancel it, then try to put it back in. Sam behavior. Could be that cancel only kills the single instance and not the season. How do you kill a season recording? But there was no error given, just would not change the block to red when I got through setting up season record and hit "record". Today's playing is posted as logs14.zip.

Using a client, is it only one computer per tuner? (ie, i have a sky stb, if the main htpc server is currently watching sky, is there any way for the client to see what the server is seeing? ie watch sky in two rooms at once?)

also cant make live tv work on this client comp -tried both with live preview and without live preview, no luck
attached logs

thanks

Would it be possible to have the ProgramImageTool (PIT) look in the Recordings folder for folders, copy the appropriate image from the media/art folder, move the image to the appropriate folder and then rename it folder.jpg?

So if I record "The Office", it creates a folder "The Office". So PIT will look in the recordings folder and see "The Office". Then PIT will look in the media/art folder to see if "The Office.jpg" exists. If it does, it will move it to "The Office" folder in Recordings, and rename it folder.jpg.

Currently, I have to manually do this everytime I record an episode. Just thought this would be a nice feature to have with this tool.

Thanks!

I got used to using the new Live Guide from version 1.0.0.8 (i think, still haven't updated the PVR to the latest rev yet).

I noticed it's back to the 3 rows of the normal guide in the latest release (on one of my clients). Since the Guide button no longer closes the guide, just opens it, it would be nice if hitting the guide button a 2nd time would cycle the Live guide between the 3 row (TV Guide like version ) to the version you had in the initial 1.0x release where it only showed what was on right now with time remaining.

I have the hauppauge hvr-1600, and with QAM I am receiving 5 HD stations, they work really well except for one.

The NBC station is really jumpy during a tv show, but once it cuts to commercials the "jumpyness" stops and they are fine, until the show comes back on. And like I said earlier, the other HD channels do not have this problem, and they all have the same signal strength of 75% or higher.

Any suggestions? I am running windows xp sp2, 2.3ghz cpu, 128mb vid card, 512mb memory ( <- could this be the problem?)

Thanks for the help
