[Edit] - Ignore my post for now - realised standard GB-PVR, recording service etc wasn't working either, manually changed MVP number to 0 in the config.xml and restarted and everything seems to be working, so may not have been an MVP-specific problem.

Quote:Had some problems with the MVP not working, then realised that it was because I had changed the default skin from the PVRX2-safe blue to the GBPVR-only FBHV for the main PC. Tried setting the MVP-specific skin to blue in the config, then decided to just make it the default and change the default back to blue, and now can't get the config to close correctly -basically whenever I press the OK button, it just freezes.

I have tried changing the main and MVP themes in the config, or setting the number of MVP servers to 0, but it just doesn't take - have to right-click close the window, and when I restart the config, it still has a (blue-skinned) MVP server listed. Has anyone else had this problem? (The MVP still doesn't work).

Sony KDS-60A2000 Grand WEGA 60" SXRD
ATSC/NTSC hybrid with Clear QAM (8 VSB)
built Aug 2006, purchased Dec 2006

Connected to TimeWarner cable, Mid-Atlantic area. When the KDS finishes a scan, after 45 minutes, I get 71 analog channels and 492 digital channels. WOW!!!!!

I thought the scan lied to me ...
Until I discovered there were a bazillion audio-only, "no-signal", and "on"-and-unused channels. It took me hours to de-select what I considered rejects.
Until I did find hidden gems, movie channels, which were de-selected for me ... well, needless to say, I enabled all I could ee:

I have lots and lots of channels. My KDS can tell me the status of each channel and report if it is NTSC, 720P, or 1080i.

This is my very first experience with all things QAM. So please bear with me and don't beat me up <smile>.

I do have a strong signal coming from my cable. For each channel that QAM detects and thinks is "clear" should I expect the Video and Audio to be perfect, or nearly so?

What I am experiencing is perfect Video and poor Audio ... "stutters" or "chatters", for lack of better terms. Or, I will experience perfect Audio and pixelating Video. Or, a channel with have a mix of both!

Are my problems a result of some bad engineering of the QAM in my KDS? Is this just "normal" for QAM and I'm expecting too much? Or, would I have better results using a PC and decode QAM there and pass that along to the KDS via HDMI?

I better quit before I drive you nuts and me even more nuts. Anyway, just a little old man wanting to watch some TV and having too much time on his hands. Seriously though, I'd appreciate any insight you can share on all of this ........

Hi

Sub, can you confirm that the analogue tuner in the HVR4000 is of no real use to GBPVR given that there does not appear to be an mpeg encoder on the card? I have both a Nova S Plus and the HVR4000 and the DVB-S side of things works great on both cards. I have Prime setup on the analogue tuner in the HVR4000 and whilst I can watch analogue (i.e. Prime) in Live TV without any problems, recording just does not work. I get a 3KB file and that's it.

So, is the analogue portion of this card of no use (as far as GVPVR is concerned)?

Cheers Mike

Attached are screenshots, a text file of the errors... and the logs.

the channels tab in configure, are totally screwd up. how do i delete all of them or reset it to match the epg channels which are correct, thanks

Hi UJB,

I set End Time to extend 20 mins on 4 shows but it seems like the next day after an EPG update, it reverts back to the original show time? It has done this twice now.

Is this by design?

Hi Folks,

Not sure what is happening. Using the latest version of GB-pvr.

Some shows just don't turn red in the TV guide when doing a record or quick record. The show does get recorded and does show up in the pending, whats new areas. Other shows do change to red in their block.

Thanks

Rick

Hello all.

I just got a HDHomeRun and am trying to set it up. I've been following the directions found here:
http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2485

After running the Map Channels scan I get a bunch of QAM channels, but they are numbered all funny. When I go to the bottom of the instructions it tells me to run a remapping program... that isn't there!

The thread I'm sent to is gone. A Google search on the subject finds a page (I think the right one) but the utility is no longer linked correctly -- I get a 404.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi All,

This is strange but my computer is getting the listings from schedulesDirect, but it won't update the TV guide page on either the PVRX2 or MVP TV guide section with either show data or channel icons. It does however update the EWA section with show data and lists the channel icons .Any ideas why?
Thanks to all that reply!
