I just noticed that if I try to start a media file (mp3, avi) using either the Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut or the Play key on my laptop nothing happens. I am able to control playback using all of the other shortcut keys (as detailed in the wiki) as well as using the rest of my laptop's media buttons. Am I missing something? Has the keyboard shortcut changed?

I've never been much into gaming, but here I have this 23" LCD "monitor", nice surround system, and a remote keyboard/mouse.

What do you guys put onto your systems for casual gaming?

What are suggestions for remote controllers?

I'm not super into gaming but a cheap remote controller and one or two commercial titles (or freebies or demos) could be fun. Heck, could be I can't finish a demo of some of the modern games, who knows.

Thanks for thoughts--

EDIT: oh, my setup isn't super fancy, Asus K8NE-dlx, 1.8MHz, 1 gig RAM, GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8X, Realtek AC97.

Hello All,

I am having a problem and could use some help. I cannot get my 'Over the Air' Digital Programs to show up in my TV Listing or TV Guide.

I am using Schedules Direct and have 2 Program Listings defined: (one for cable and one for HD over the air'. (i have an HVR-1600 with both Analog and a digital source).

when I press the update EPG Guide is seems to work. I do see all the cable stations in my TV Guide.

I defined the sources but cannot map the digital stations for the Ditital HD programs. When I press the button "Map Digital channels to EPG" I get the error message:

You must import your list of EPG channels. Please use the Update EPG button to do this.

any ideas of what I am missing? What log files should I be looking at to see what is going on?

Thanks

Hi all;

Someone recommended TMPGENC DVD Author in another thread, when I was asking about making DVDs and including the closed captioning information (USA).

I've been making DVDs from VHS tapes, a good friend has a lot of 1950's movies on VHS that are at risk of aging.

What softwares are generally considered to have the "best" authoring quality; you notice it especially in B/W since the greyscale quality is important.

I've been using ULEAD DVD Moviefactory 3 SE that came with my Hauppauge 350 and it's OK; and it's easier to set up than the Nero 7 authoring program, and I don't notice a difference between the output of those.

There are a few commercial offerings in the $80 range that TMPGENC is in; any comments on which is known to be the best renderer?

I have to say I'm liking the fact that if I get TMPGENC and burn DVDs of shows with that, the cc will be there if I want to share the disk with my father. But rendering quality comes first...

Thanks for comments--

I am currently running v0.99.5. I don't want to take the leap yet to the 1.x version, especially because I am a big user of Net Radio and I have read in the release notes that this has not been included yet in the 1.x series.

However, from what I have seen from many posts v0.99.12 was a good improvement over previous 0.99.x releases, so it would be great if I could get a copy (along with Release Notes, if possible).

Hi folks,

i love the new pvrx2 look, but my 6150 card is too slow, especially because i am thinking about upgrading my tv to a 1300x768 lcd during the next months.

I am goning to by a Geforce 8600 GT with 256 MB in silent edition, more specs below:

ASUS EN8600GT SILENT/2DHT, GF8600 GT, 256MB GDDR3, PCIe

2x DVI, TV-out
Chiptakt: 540MHz, Speichertakt: 700MHz • Unified Shader/Pixel-Pipelines: 32@1190MHz, ROPs: 8 • Achtung! Nur 128-bit Speicherinterface • maximaler Verbrauch: 43W (nVidia) • unterstützt HDCP

Does anyone has got experience with this card at high resolutions? Can I expect my pvrx2 running smoothly? And also the video experience?

Thanks,
Dietmar

I'm adding this to the wish list as I don't think there is a way to do this.

I've noticed after recording for several years that now I have about 300 GB of programs. My program list of recordings is many pages long now. What I would like to be able to do is to make a directory and move the recordings into one directory. For example: Kids programs, Christmas shows, game shows, etc. Is this possible or does it already exist? If not would this be something a plug-in could do?

I've seen a lot of discussion on the boards regarding watching HD content on the MVP. Basically you can't do it without transcoding. What I would like to do is to record the signal in SD but in 16x9 format. That way I could get the full screen on my 16x9 TV and play it over the MVP. Is this possible? I've been looking at the HVR-1600.

Hi all,

I've been searching around for the capabilities of GB-PVR and think I know the answer but need some specific advice.

I have an OTA antenna attached to my Directv box. As a result, my local channels are designated as sub-channels (8-1, 8-2, etc). I use a WinTV 150 and the Hauppauge blaster config and the on-card IR blaster. My EPG is fed via Schedules Direct specified as "satellite" and "local digital".

My wish is that GB-PVR be able to blast (and therefore tune) to these sub-channels to record local broadcasts (satellite channels work fine).

I am currently under the impression that GB-PVR cannot deal with blasting these sub-channels. Therefore I cannot record any local programs. Is my assumption correct?

BTW, I also have and use a USB-UIRT and girder if a workaround is possible.

Sub,

Is it worthwhile to subdivide this category into a "satellite hardware capture" or something category.

Thanks,
