I signed up with SchedulesDirect and created a channel lineup and GB-PVR finds the channels and i assign names to them, but when i click "Update EPG" from the "Edit Recording Source" screen it gives me the error message:
"Your EPG source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG Source Settings and try again." i have my username instead of email (as per a forum page i read and my SchedulesDirect password entered, but get this error each time.
the stuttering i previously had seems to have gone away since i got a decent antenna and i'm ready to try all this again. wish i could get this epg stuff working.
thanks and take care,

On a recent boot my recordings hard drive decided to not show up. GBPVR showed no recordings when I started it up. I did the ol' shut down and wiggle some wires and started back up and tah-dah the drive is back. Now I noticed that GBPVR has no recordings listed (but I can still play the files from the videos menu). Is there any easy way to get my recording info back into GBPVR short of an xml dump file? (I haven't dumped that info to an xml in some time) Thanks for any help you can offer.
Saw one of these advertised in the paper ..looks small, quiet and has HDMI out. I was wondering - Can anyone recommend this, from 1st hand experience? Enough "future proofing" for a little while?
Any chance of having a parameter for slowing down the frequency of the logo move in the screensaver or even stopping the movement of the logo, it's a bit fast for my brain in the evenings and is a bit disturbing....:o
So I keep finding references to this all over, but can't figure out what it is exactly. Sounds like an overlay that would kill my PVR-350's output? First thing I did was google it and found some set top box. Then I did numerous searches in the forum. I've found it referenced as a plugin (though maybe they meant some plugin FOR the mysterious PVRX2? I give, and will ask what seems to be a stupid question.
I'm thinking of picking up a Samsung SIR TS-360 direct tv receiver for OTA ATSC. Mainly wanting it so that it'll downcovert to 480i and I can capture it on one of my PVR150's.
Since it has a serial port, I was wondering if anyone has been able to use it to change channels instead of irblasting? I've only been able to be about 85% with IR Blasting - not sure if it was how I was doing it or what, but I'd prefer serial control of the unit.
Anyway, if anyone has any clues or experience on doing this, please let me know!
Hello all. I have a couple of questions regarding resolution and refresh rates. My apologies in advance for the long message. As an FYI, my setup is in my signature and I am viewing live SD tv (satellite receiver S-Video in) and recordings are a mix of SD and HD. All clips behave the same.
I had previously installed version 1101 of my MB BIOS and 7.9 CCC. Everything was working great except for one thing. Every 5 minutes or so, there would be a slight hiccup. Very fast but noticeable (a slight pause/resume - less than a second). This occurred on live tv as well as recordings. I then decided to try out the new BIOS (version 1404) and 7.10 CCC. Bad mistake.
After rebooting, there was crazy stutter. The pattern was 3 pause/resumes, and it occurred every 1 or 2 seconds. I rolled the BIOS and CCC back to the way it was before but the problem persisted. I then went in to CCC and changed the refresh rate from 60 to 30 and the 3-repeat stutter problem is gone... almost. It only occurs when the guide appears on the screen at the same time as live tv/recording. I did not have time to test the 5-minute stutter problem as it got late last night. I will do that tonight.
I am using PowerDVD 7 for my video decoder, AC3Filter for audio decoder and Default WaveOut for audio renderer. I have tried multiple combinations of decoders/renderers and this is the least problematic combination I found.
Now to my questions.
1. Should the refresh rate play any role in this? Isn't 30 too low?
2. My system specs are really good, especially for SD, so I'm surprised that I'm getting stuttering. Any ideas as to why? Quartz.dll problem has been fixed on my PC.
3. I am connected via component to a Toshiba 46H83 - rear-projection CRT. Does my selected resolution play a role (1600 x 900)?
Recently I've been missing recordings with PVRX2. Below is a screen shot of the recording plugin with the recording service overlay. Currently I just restart my computer and the problem goes away for a little while. Attached are the logs. another missed recording was called the decoy if that helps.
I've been searching/reading and haven't quite found the answer I'm looking for. I see a lot of people talking about WinTV6 when using the HVR-1600 for QAM.
Question 1: With the HVR-1600 (74021 or 74041) can you just play QAM right through GBPVR to an exteran TV or are you guys messing with WinTV first?
Question 2: With the new TV Wonder 650/600 cards, can you watch straight QAM through them to GBPVR?
Question 2a: Are these really restricted to QAM only under Vista?
I know HTPC stuff isn't ever simple, but I'm trying to get HD/Digital in the mix as I have the TV, just no built-in tuner. I would like the analog/QAM to be relatively seamless and not have to go into the other room to mess around everytime I want to watch a game from the QAM source.
