Ok, First of all, thank you for putting out a program that does most of what TIVO does without having to constantly shell out a ton of cash. Second - and MOST important - while I consider myself fairly bright, I have no clue what to do here. In a nutshell, I discovered via browsing the internet an article on how to assemble a PVR without having the cost of building a dedicated PC to record my favorite shows. I currently use TIVO but I'm getting sick and tired of the damned thing acting as if it has a mind of it's own. As such, I went and bought a WinTV-PVR USB2 as well as a WMVP (wireless) - all for less then $200 total. Sofar so good. I set up the entire system and was even able to somehow download my 1st sample TV recording that I made through Windows XP Media Center. The image was a bit grainy but I think it had more to do with the quality in which I recorded the show then the setup I have. My question actually is how do I set up GB-PVR? I downloaded all the requirements but don't have a clue as to how to configure the program so that I can access it through my TV - as the article stated I could. I tried finding the "wiki" for setting up but when I clicked on the shortcut, I got a host of error messages. If you have a step by step instruction manual, I'd love to read it. If not, can someone out there help me? I know you probably get a million requests like this a day, so I apoligise in advance for how stupid this must look. Please help. Thanks!
Hello
I have a reoccurring program that shows up as a conflict with a recording date of 0001-01-01 00:00:00.0000000 and when I tell gbpvr to delete it, the dialog sits there for a bit doesn't respond and then goes away, I guess this a database issue, how can I remove this.
I have downloaded sqlitespy and looked around and dont really see any thing that I can do.
I found the entry and here is the data from the cells form left to right
74 33043 1 5 Private Practice 5 17 0001-01-01 00:00:00.0000000 0001-01-01 00:00:00.0000000 81 1 1 2 0
Hello. I'm new to the PVR world and am trying to set up GBPVR to work with my Hauppauge HVR-1600.
I'm not sure if it's a problem with GBPVR, or my drivers, or even the card itself. but here's the problem.
I cannot get picture when watching live tv, using either GBPVR or WinTV (even less success with wintv, i can't even get channels to scan there...GB is using the EPG)
I get audio just fine on all channels, but a black screen. I looked through the wiki and went through the installation again and again. I tried all the different MPEG2 Decoders I had available (7 + System default) All with the same result.
I WAS however able to get video and audio from the composite video input. But i cannot get it to work with the Cable TV.
Any help or even ideas for what direction I should go in would be appreciated
While this is not a GBPVR problem, I'm wondering if other Vista/Showanalyzer users have come across this problem. For a short while, I was unable to get Showanalyzer to work at all in Vista (after it had worked fine). I uninstalled, reinstalled and tried again and it's working now but I get the message below. I can understand if Showanalyzer is truly not compatible but why did it work fine before and why can others use it with no problems?
sub, if you've been following the thread in ML 6.7 beta on some problems there is a difference in how play all is working for some of us on the MVP. It works for me but not some others. So I did a test with HtV trying to play the same two songs and there seems to a difference in how the playlist size is calculated

Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about selling my gbpvr system. I'm not sure if this is the right place to do it. If no one has any issues with me posting my system then I'll post the spec's. I've put about $3,500 into the system over the last year but I moved into an apartment in downtown Denver and there isn't enough room for it. For the last three months it's been in the closet, what a waste. I could sell it on ebay but I would rather sell it to someone that likes to tinker, like me.
After struggling with using my serial IR blaster, I've decided to give a USB one a shot. I can pick up an MCE receiver w/ 2 emitters for around $20 but I have a couple of questions that maybe y'all can answer. Oh, and for right now, I'm only interested in using the blaster functions, not the receiver/remote.
1. I have Windows XP Pro, do I need to install any sort of device drivers or software? I thought I read somewhere that they're already installed for XP Pro, but I'm not sure.
2. If XP Pro already does have the drivers/software, how do you configure the STBs?
3. How do you call a specific receiver from GBPVR? Do you pass a receiver 'name' or something?
4. About how reliable is the blaster? I know I was getting about 85% with the serial one and that was pretty irritating. Can I expect 99 -100% with the USB one?
- I'm not a big fan of Hip, since it crashed every time I tried to configure it to use my serial blaster, so I'd prefer to use the M$ solution if it's free
