I just installed a conexant 23880 and going to record 2 shows that are on 3 hours in the future but I can't watch live tv now

Heres my dilemma: I have chosen two motherboard and cpu combos from online merchants who also supply the Antec Fusion case that i want. One's a Core 2 Duo E4400 and an Asus P5V-VM SE DH, the other an AMD Athlon X2 1.9GHz AM2 on an Asus M2A-VM/HDMI.

I intend to use the setup headless, running only MVP's wired (work in progress...) to rooms in the house. I have two Freeview DVB-T cards for the UK, and may add USB tuner for my cable box. I can get a cheap gigabit PCI-E gigabit card locally as well as a gigabit switch and hope to use WHS with a DHCP add-it (hopefully! If not XP with similar software) and allow me interuption free TV, music etc through the house.

Intel Pro's: Core 2 Duo better, can use existing three HDD's without SATA adapter, cool remote feature, eSATA
Intel Cons: No chance of direct TV out (would be ideal especially when i get a HDTV)

AMD Pro's: CPU less power, loads of USB ports, decent graphics support with HDMI for future tv upgrade, SPDIF out, DVI out.
AMD Cons: Only 2 IDE channels, might mean more for a SATA HDD if adapters dont work.

So what would you go for? Im open to all comments

Thanks

P.S. The picture shows a different mobo, the link is the one im after:

Hi Sub

I hope that you are well?

I have just installed the new software and am no longer able to view GBPVR on my TV (I have installed the new EXE file to prevent 'No Signal' popups, but this has not affected the lack of TV!)

Have you any thoughts please? (My catalyst suite is 7.6 - not the most recent, but, I believe it is the most stable). I am running Win XP Home SP2 with 1 GB RAM, a 120 GB HDD and a Radeon X1600 Pro Graphics card with 256MB RAM. I seem to need VMR7 or Overlay Manager to extend the desktop to the second display (TV)

Quick question here. Everything seems to be installed correctly (after a few trial and errors) to get MAME setup, but when I select MAME, it reboots the MVP every time. Any thoughts on what might be causing it and what I probably missed? Thanks.

Hi all,

first of all I want to thank sub for a phantastic piece of software and all members of this forum for all the solutions I already could find here.
After having solved most of my problems there is still one left: Listening to my recordings you can hear a periodic clicking noise. Also the sound is "fluttering", especially on sequences with music (I don't know if this is the correct expression). To describe it a little more precise: It sounds like listening to an old audio tape, that seems to change channels or get louder and then soften again every second. I already upgraded to the latest version of gbpvr and changed all drivers, but it did not have any effect. I checked my recordings using different kinds of software (as my first thought was that it may be an ouput problem) but the issue seems to occur while recording. Just to confirm, that I understood one thing right: video and audio signal are recorded only using the pvr 350 or does the sound card have any effect here ?

Thx for any kind of feedback.

This is another ATSC/QAM/ANALOG card. The version I have is the PCIe card but they also have a PCI card. These are pretty much the same as the Hauppauge 1600/1800. Does anyone else have either of these cards.... and have you had any success in getting these working?

I am getting the following when trying to update EPG for certain channels

DVB EPG skipping unknown channel: xxxxx

I know the channel is valid and should work. It is in the scan list. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Trying to GBPVR running with this card and running into issues.

First off... my system is the following:

Windows XP Service Pack 2
Athlon XP 3000+
ATI Radeon 9700
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1600
1gb Memory

First off, it tells me that VRM9 is not supported. I am using Overlay Mode as VRM7 didn't allow me to change channels.

I configured my channels (after much trial and error) and am able to watch live tv... however when I click "Live TV" it itakes upwards of 45 seconds until a channel comes up. I notice that CPU usage is 85% to 90% during this time. It's also very flaky changing channels... screen flickering etc.

Interestingly, I use the WatchHDTV program and it runs beautifully on this system. It seems to give me more encoder choices in both video an audio as compared to GBPVR so I'm wondering if the problem could lie therein somewhere.


Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings

I have installed pvrx2 and have the mc remote along with bean bag installed.
Went into config and set remote to MCE. The little red light blinks but there is no reaction by pvrx2. I was hoping this part would of been straight forward

Hi
I have been using gbpvr latest version 1.0.16 for a few weeks now in the Uk and am having a few problems.
1 . when i scan for channels using my hvr900 i get each one repeated with audio 2 in the name of the second channel(and no sound) which i believe i can just delete . when i download the dvb epg broadcast from freeview it only shows programs in the guide for the audio 2 channels and the ok channels are all blank. If i delete the audio 2 channels will the epg show the programs for the good channels in the program guide?.also how do you get rid of the unwanted channels?
2 . i can get the program guide to show on my hauppage mpv and select a program and record and then watch it by getting the listing of the audio 2 channel but clicking the blank space on the good channel , but i cant get live tv it just trys to connect to server and then goes back to first screen any ideas please
ps i am a newbie to this and if you answer as if you were talking to a five year old i may just about understand what you are talking about
cheers Tim
