is there a way to make a hot key that when pressed, will make pvrx2 ignore the text file that comskip produces? On playing the next show, it resumes normal operation. Sometimes, although rarely, comskip does a poor job marking commercials. mainly because the program has unusual titles and changes aspect ratios during the same show.
I have spent hours going through posts and can't seem to get anywhere. I am fairly new at this. I can't seem to get a picture for LiveTV. I have a Conexant 23880 Video Capture PCI Card (NTSC). When I setup the capture device (direct Recording installed cards only it found / Conexant BlackBird ) I have tried all combinations of Decoders and Renders as posted here in the forums - I even downloaded the MPV Mpeg filter. The program will find all of my cable channels when I use the Tunning Program, but when I click on Live TV it gives me the error / Object reference not set to an instance of an object ) I was using the supplied software WinTVr that came bundled with the card and was working fine, however I uninstalled that program thinking that it was conflicting with GB-PVR.
I really am lost as what to try next. I really love the interface and the idea of the program but I just can't afford to purchase a new system.
So i visit GB-PVR frequently and one thing bothers me. I HATE having to scroll sidesways. I know this isn't a big problem for most users, and the main page doesn't have much on it so its not a big deal, its just frustrating and i need to vent. Possibly make it resizable? That would be super.
Here’s a quick link to access your guide based on default settings.

Edit: - Thinking on, possibly it is designed to to go to a description on the local machine, but if not up and running and/or browsing on a different machine......
I just got a widescreen LCD. The picture looks amazing when I use GBPVR compared to the builtin reciever. My only problem is when using the builtin receiver on the tv I get options on how I want to stretch the picture. Is this possible in GBPVR to re stretch the picture.
I'm currently trying to find out whether it would make sense to make myself a christmas present with a fresh DVB-C contract
It would be particularly great if somebody could share his experience with Germany-based Unitymedia (former Ish), and how he went about making his HTPC/GB-PVR/DVB-C Tuner/Smartcard combination work. You don't have to have Unitymedia as a provider, I'm interested in anything that will help me make a decision.
I actually use GB-PVR more for recording than viewing live tv, so I sense I need a digital tv settop box for my TV, and an additional smart card to feed the card slot on the PC tuner card. Is that correct?
But then: do I really have to record digital? Maybe the settop box has an analog out, and I can use that to feed my existing PVR150 analog card, right? I believe Unitymedia ships Humax (Model UM-FOX C) or TechniSat (Model DIGIT UM-K1)....
But in case I need a dvb-c card? Which one, and why?
What are the common issues I should be aware of when trying to view and record digital tv via a PC?
All sorts of newbie questions, I know... I wish I knew more about that stuff already, but maybe you guys can share a bit of your experience with me
For those of you that enjoy the Net Radio feature of GBPVR, you might want to consider adding StreamRipper to your list of toys.
As a kid, I used to enjoy recording music off the radio and LPs as well - now there's an app that let's you do the same thing with audio streams.
StreamRipper is a plugin to Winamp and records any audio stream. The best part is that it separates each song into separate MP3s and also saves the Artist, Song, Album data.
When I first tried StreamRipper out, I tuned in to my favorite Classic Rock station and "let 'er rip" <sorry>. I let it run all day as I listened to the radio at work, and then let it run all evening. In the morning, I had over 300 classic rock songs!!
You can download the latest copy of StreamRipper here:
I'm new to building HTPC. I just bought a Hauppauge NOVA-S DVB-s card. First I tought using a seperate mini-itx pc for that process... but then I tought of puting on my big dual 2 core machine the DVB-S card and GBPVR and then using some MVP in the different room. I was wondering if its possible to watch LIVE TV from these boxes and what do you get as a quality and speed for an MVP???
