I've just installed a Nova-T-500 card and installed GBPVR following recommendations this is the the best free PVR software. Unfortunately after doing all the setup when i launch PVRX2 I just get a black screen. i followed the Quick Install guide but that didn't help. Can anyone give me a hand setting this up as things are getting a bit frustrating and Top Gear is on in a day or so which i'd love to get recorded.
I have a problem with some channels in the TV guide. After a few test it seems that when I have a recurring program scheduled on a specific time slot, if the channel decide to change the TV guide to something else, at the next EPG update, I still see my old pending and old TV guide instead of the new one. It is rare but it happened especially for a few specialized channels updating their TV guide at the last minute (one or 2 days before) instead of 2 weeks in advance. I recently move from zap2it to Schedule direct (like everybody) and I have the same problem. I reported the problem to Schedule direct but they told me that the raw file is OK for the problem I pointed out.
My best guess is a matter of priority during the EPG update. If you download the pending before and reload it after then the old pending override the new one? But Iâm not sure because sometimes it is OK. So Iâm lost. The homemade solution for the moment is to cancel the recurring TV show involves. Then to run EPG update. Finally to re-enter the recurring and/or one time show if required. After that the TV guide is OK and the pending as well. But I have to be careful every day on those channels because I never know if the TV guide is OK in GB-PVR.
Hey yall -- thinking about building a htpc and to keep costs/noise down, use a mobo with onboard video. Has anyone any experience with anything like this:
Hi all, I've got a problem. This is taking place on an XP SP2 machine. Last night I recorded the Bears/Packers game in HD on my HVR-1600 via OTA and GB-PVR .16. I had the BDA set to DVR-MS. Now I have a large DVR-MS file (about 25g) and can view that file in WMP from any machine of the network.
How do I turn this DVR-MS file into a compliant MPEG2 file that I can edit in my MPEG2 editing software.
Hi all-
I've been using Schedules Direct for several weeks now, and it has been working fine. All of a sudden earlier this week, GB-PVR stopped updating the EPG information. I went into config and tried to do it manually, but I would get a 401 unauthorized error back from them. I don't know why this is, as I have not changed the login information that I have saved in config, but just to be sure, I tried retyping it about 10 times, and I am still getting the same error. I have no problem logging in to my account on the schedules direct website, where it says it is active, so I am thinking the problem is with GBPVR. I also tried to register for the forum using the email address that I was having issues with, and it told me that the address was not vaild, though I use it everyday. I had this problem once before with my gmail account. I used it to make my first schedules direct account, but I kept getting the unauthorized error from GB-PVR when attempting to update the EPG, eventually I switched to the current email address, and was not having problems until now. But I know the forum told me that both my gmail account and the current email (bconverse@wisc.edu) are both invalid when I tried to register here, so I am not sure, but it almost seems like there might be a connection. Again, I am able to login fine to schedules direct on their website, and they can't seem to find any problem. But, I've never encountered anything like this before. I know forums often block the registration of emails from certain domains, but the address I am using is from a .edu domain, and as far as I know, gmail has not been blocked yet? I might try changing my address yet again, and then seeing if I can log back on, but I don't want that address to work for a few weeks, and then become invalid like my current one.
Thanks for any help, I am really quite confused by all of this.
I have definitely typed in the correct username and password combination several times, as it still works fine on the schedules direct website. So, I am not just "typing it wrong". The forum registration issue also shows that.
I'm not up on the "best" hardware these days. I'm wondering what the best 8X AGP card is for playing HD and regular MPEG files? I know that if you don't use a good card then you beat up your CPU heavily. Just looking for opinions here so please reply!
Hey all. I'm looking for an alternative to AC3Filter. It needs to be AC3 capable as that's what all my HD content audio is broadcast in. AC3filter itself, works but seems to be out of sync on both regular cable channels and QAM channels, so I'd like to try something different.
