I can not get schedules direct set up as my EPG source, every time i try to update my EPG in config. i get the message that my epg is not configured correctly please help
I have found that under 1.0.16 that if I start a video from the "video library" button that after the video starts, all inputs from the remote are ignored. I can't pause, rewind, mute, change volume, etc. I can still control video with mouse and keyboard. If I start a video that I have played before using the remote, I can't use the remote to choose either the "resume" or "start over" button; however, if I use the mouse to choose, I appear to now regain remote function and use as I had under previous versions.
Is there any fix for this problem? or is it something with my setup?
I see in the Dominion Post this morning that TVNZ will be delivering HDTV programming on Freeview after July.
This was just a tiny article in the Infotech part.
It said that half of TV1 primetime, and most of TV2 prime-time will be HD.
The entire Beijing Olympics will be broadcast in HD.
Unfortunately, the article also went on to say that this will only be available on the DVB-T platform, which is unfortunate for anyone outside of Auckland.
Does anyone know what the range is of the DVB-T transmissions for Freeview? Is there a time frame for rolling out more transmitters?
I'm using the HD audio on my MSI K8N Neo Platinum board which uses the Realtek AC97 decoders. I was wondering if the Creative drivers would be able to decode the AC3 signal so I don't have to use AC3Filter anymore. It's working OK, but I have problems with the audio being delayed behind the video on certain channels. Would the Xfi be able to decode AC3 audio?
Quick search didn't pop up anything obvious matching my problem, so I'm hoping that I just didn't overlook it.
I'm using Zap2XML, so the problem may be there but then it may not.
Some of the listings that are supposed to be 30 minutes long are shown as being 3hours 35mins long. Not only that, but other shows scheduled for that same time period are showing up correctly, but there is a weird overlapping effect (visually) with the titles.
To somewhat illustrate it, in my area on NBC at 19:00 (7PM) is Entertainment Tonight, for 30 minutes. If I select it, it shows the time is 7:00PM to 11:35PM (this varies depending on when The Tonight Show is going to start). Other shows at 7:30, 8:00, 9:00, etc list fine but when I select that one show, I get a green bar for the entire 3:35hrs.
Here is an example of the XML from the Zap2XML output:
To me it appears to be correct (at least the start and end times), so I'm at a loss.
Edit:
Further information, for Oct 1st, both GBPVR and PXR2 have the correct show information. For Oct 2nd and Oct 3rd, they both show 7:00 to 11:35PM.
I'm running GBPVR 1.0.16 with two ATI 550 tuners. GBPVR correctly recognizes both tuners, but they are swapped. For example, I record channels 2 and 3. When I play back the file titled channel 2, it contains the recording for channel 3, and playing the file titled channel 3 contains channel 2.
Also, I can record channel 2 and watch live tv (changing channels 10-20). The channel viewed on live tv remains on channel 2, while the recording will contain a viewing of channels changing from 10-20.
I tried swapping the capture device board numbers to no avail.
As for past unsupported issues with dual 550, tuners, please note the following:
1) I set <AutoDetectEncoderMethod>0</AutoDetectEncoderMethod>. It only recognized one tuner when set to 2. When set to 1, this swapped tuner problem still exists.
2) I know that in the past people have had problems with dual 550 tuners, but after much research, I believe most of those problems had to do with ATI's drivers and have been resolved. Specifically, people had problems getting sound from both tuners. My drivers are up to date, and I have no sound problems. Since both tuners work properly, I believe this is a GBPVR issue, not an ATI one.

Hello,
I'm trying to use the S-video inputs on the aforementioned card. I tried both the S-video and composite settings in the configuration tool. All I get is a black screen. No complaints in the logs. The regular TV tuner works fine.
Any ideas/help? Maybe some setting in the direct.ini file?
I have been using my Dvico FusionHDTV DVB-T Plus and it's native program for a year or so and finally decided to upgrade to some better software. I installed both MediaPortal and GB-PVR and had an immediate preference for GB-PVR. However I'm having a few difficulties with my Dvico.
Under BDA Device Config if I check the 'Only show devices detected on this machine' I get 'FusionHDTV5 RT Gold (ATSC)' Fiddleing around with that I manged to get an EPG up an running and scan some channels. I have the same problem I've seen other users have that I can only scan the last channel i watched in the Dvico native software, however, I can also only watch the last channel through GB-PVR! And if i reset the computer and run GB-PVR then i just get a whole lot of blank channels until i run the Dvico native software, then i get one
Back to the drawing board I had a look through the forums and found the problem I'd had above. I got onto on Graphedit and changed my BDA.ini
[Dvico Fusion DVB-T PLUS]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=FusionHDTV, BDA Tuner1
FILTER_CAPTURE=FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture1
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
As it turns out this is the same as the FusionHDTV5 RT Gold (ATSC) except for the tuning type being ATSC vice DVB-T.
Unfortunately with the BDA device set to my new Dvico Fusion DVB-T PLUS setting I still get a whole lot of nothing. If i try to 'Map digital channels...' It comes up with the error 'GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device... check the config...' And If I try to run Live TV it simply fades to black for a second then returns to the main menu. At least with the ATSC i get one channel... sort of!
Any help? I'm In Australia btw. Thanks in Advance!
