1- What is the best way to archive a recorded show?
2- It seems my broadcasters do not register episodes with Schedules Direct. How can I modify episode title?
3- Is there a way to set some parental control on archived shows?

Updated for GB-PVR(PVRX2.exe) 1.1.5, some new TaskImages & slight alteration to some screens.
Thank you to all of you that have tried it out as it has given me the incentive to continue updating it for public distribution.
NOTE: While sub with the release of 1.1.5 has fixed the problem with TaskImages not displaying correctly when a different skin is selected for the MVP to the current skin you now MUST select a skin for the MVP (change it from 'Default') for the TaskImages to display correctly.
With the update to 1.15 I am now seeing a popup "active movie window" whenever I try to play MP3s from video library. (they don't play either) This doesn't happen with the gbpvr.exe.
All my other video files and live TV seem fine.
I see from earlier posts this is a result of direct show not being able to find a suitable renderer but I am confused as to why this is happening now?
How do I get GBPVR to keep the schedules direct xml file? I've been having an issue with their lineup - occuasionally a show will be listed as being aired from 1:30-2:30 & simultaneously from 1:35-2:35 on the same channel. This results in both tuners recording the same show at the same time (or if another show is recording, it grabs the first time slot & I end up missing the last 5 minutes of the show).
I opened a trouble ticket with SD & they requested that I check the xml file to determine if the problem is with the app (gbpvr) or with SchedulesDirect's listings. I modified config.xml to set "SaveZap2ItXML" to true, but this doesn't seem to do it.
I finally got an MVP from eBay and I'm having problems getting it to stream video properly from GBPVR.
It loads the application and appears to boot but I don't get any image on the screen once it loads. I can "feel" my way to Recordings and play a recording but then I don't get any video, only audio. There are some errors in the MVP-PVRX2.exe.log (attached).

Hopefully this is the right place for this Q (also in support, sorry about the dup)
If I don't have Zap2it, schedulesdirect or whatever, is there a way I can schedule a season recording based on the title (lets say "CSI") and it will ONLY schedule ONE instance of the 3 repeats that are in the EPG for THAT episode?
A step further would be for GBPVR to automatically schedule the season instance of the (least say 3 repeats) of that episode that has no conflict with another show.
Hi all. I'm setting this up on xp so I can watch and record tv while i do some work.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up the "capture sources" tab for this card. The card has two tuners, one is analog and the other QAM/ASTC and they both can be used simultaneously. So what I've done under capture sources tab is clicked add.. under recording source, I think i need to use direct recording plugin and clicking settings, i found AverMedia M780 (Analog).
So my question is, what about the digital tuner.. how can I add that? I read that GBPVR has support now for QAM for this card. What is BDA recording plugin vs direct?
Also what is the quality profile setting for? recording? Clicking edit shows that it can only record up to NTSC 720x480? What about HD programs in 1080i if I can figure out how to set the QAM tuner up.
Also in the config menu, under playback tab.. why would you set a delay for live tv?
