Hi folks,

Long time lurker here. I've been using a USB pinnacle stick to watch and record TV but frankly it's not much good. The software that comes bundled with it seems to drop recordings and frequently freezes up. I've tried to use GBPVR with it but it's not happening.

I need an alternative but I cannot installed a full sized PCI card due to size restrictions so I guess I need to stick with USB devices. Can any of you recommend something that's reliable and hopefully compatable with GBPVR.

Many thanks,

Guy

Atm I playing with setting up my DVB card, not easy as playing is limted as the others in the house want to actually watch TV! it would be nice to disable for example my PVR150 card (and keep all the settings) while playing with the DVB card. Things tend to get a bit messy with channel listings/egp etc. I had to delete my dvb source yesterday so I could quickly put things back to normal with the 150. Get my drift?

Would be nice with a tick box next to each capture source

Hi

I installed the play all patch a couple of days ago and is working fine. Yesterday I got my DVB card with (phoenix card reader, leagal sub card etc) working. Now I have to work on 2 things, stuttering and the "low signal" pop up. If I install the pop up patch, will this stop my play all patch. Will I be playing Catch 22 or not :-)

I can setup a manual recording to record a channel Mon to Fri, at the same time, for one hour. No problem.

But, when you setup a recording in that way, you don't get that option of how many of the recordings to keep. So, if I'm not around to constantly erase them, my Recordings directly fills up quickly.

I hope this question makes sense. When you setup a recording using the EPG, you do get that option of how many recordingds to keep.

If anyone can help, my harddrive would appreciate it.!!

I have been setting my media centre up and playing around with various options, full screen exclusive mode seems to give me the best video quality but I have an annoying problem with it.

I call PVRx2 from the startup location, obviously so it starts when the system boots etc. As the system boots it will briefly appear as normal, and then vanish, like something has stolen focus and put it in the background. Nothing will bring it back then, only CTRL - ALT - DEL and kill PVRx2, then run it again and its perfect.

Just this startup issue bugging me, if I use start GBPVR, the modified one for PVRx2 it will work, unfortunately having this running seems to prevent the system from hibernating properly. So I would like to just call PVRx2 at startup.

Anyone else seen this, and know of a solution. I have tried a few updates of the PVRx2 exe from here mentioning this behaviour, mentioning resume from hibernate but nothing seems to work.

Running the system on MSI K9AGM2, 2gb RAM, XP SP2.

Cracking bit of software though, my first attempt at a media system and well impressed by it.

Hi,

I havge been using GBPVR for a while and it was working great. My PC crashed and I had to do a full install of windows etc and must have made a mistake somewhere. I have installed GBPVR a few times but cannot get the DVB EPG to populate. I am using the BDA Plugin setting on a Nova DT.

When I press the update EPG button the pop-up window goes straight to "Saving channel information". I have gone through the channel scan on both tuners and selected the channels in the mapping page (leaving out the "Audio 2" channels.

I'm sure this is user error but what else do I need to do?

I have loaded on the latest version of the Hauppauge software - Win TV6

Hi,

Looking for advise on the best supported laptop TV card with the following :-

USB2 or CARDBUS
DVB-T (Digital TV)
Hardware Encoder (does this apply to only analogue as I cant see any digital devices with hardware encoding? or have I missed something on this)
Remote Control

I already have a MSI MegaSky 580 device but the performance is choppy due to the CPU load on encoding - or for that matter even watching live TV.

Cheers

Hello
I'm not sure whether this is a bug or not.
I have a fairly short (5m) delay before my HTPC goes into standby
I often spend longer than this looking at the epg especially after a reload, and the PC goes into stanby whilst viewing the guide.
I know that the obvious answer is to increase the delay but I was wondering if PVRX2 (vn 1.1.5) contains code to stop this for the epg in the same way that it is prevented whilst viewing slides or video?
Thanks

Both Teletext and DVB subtitles available either direct or on recordings
This is the only thing missing for me to have the perfect PVR system
Being able to record multiple streams from the same transponder at the same time would be an added plus

can someone please look at these logs and tell me why nothing is using the digital tuner card anymore??

I upgraded the client several days ago with hopes of better HD playback, but my system has not recorded a single HD show in that time.

I am hoping it is just a setting I have set wrong somewhere (easy fix).

I just started 2 recordings, both on channels available to the HD tuner, but both recordings skipped it and went to the next 2 in line.

the shows are "Food Heavens" and "The Hunt for the Lost Ark"
