I am trying to get the QAM portion of my HVR1600 to work. I can scan sources in config and mapped four channels to the EPG. When I try to record off of these channels (after I realized they were listed separately in the program guide) I get empty files. When I try to view the channel using LiveTV, the screen is black. Looking through the logs I am not certain that the tuner can lock a channel. It appears to be trying to set the frequency often during the recording.

Is there another qam.ini besides the one in the BDA\Atsc\Hvr1600 directory?

When I view the channels in the config window they work. It just appears the recorder and GBPVR.exe cannot lock onto the channels.

Am I missing anything?

First up let me say great application. Very customisable ( is that a word? ). I am using 1.0.16 on a Core 2 Duo machine running Windows Media Centre Edition at the same time. I use MCE because I run XBox extenders too. I run GBPVR because MCE won't let me mix analogue tuner inputs with AV input from a SKY decoder.
No great problem there. Conceptually it works. I have MCE recording TV1 TV2 TV3 C4 & Prime (I'm in Auckland) from a Hauppauge PVR250 dual tuner card. I have GBPVR configured to use an external tuner ( a Hauppauge PVR USB2 external tuner) which is plugged in to the SKY box. I've configured GBPVR to use the MCE IR Blaster to change SKY channels.
I use XMLTVNZ for the EPG

Now to my problem - The IR blaster will only works for 15 minutes or so to change SKY channels. After that it doesn't even flash it's little red lights.

Any ideas?

I Don't see the Net Radio Plugin when I use the PVRX2 . If I use GBPVR It shows up and I can use it no problem. In my Config I have the net radio checked. Any reason why the plugin does not show up in the PVRX2 interface? I Really like the plugin. Not a big Deal I can still get to it I just didn't know if I screwed something up.

I'm using DScaler and VMR9 FSE and playback is pretty good. However, when I fast forward or rewind it usually gets really poor... pausing or skipping backwards a little bit seems to help and it will go back to normal.

I seem to remember somebody posting about a microsoft patch that fixed this but I can't find that post anywhere. Anybody have that link or any other ideas what could cause something like this?

I tend to have this problem regularly. I have a secondary menu called Video and I have Video Library and DVD under that. I click on Video, then I try to cycle through and the thing freezes. I have to pull up the task manager, force quit the program and relaunch it and everything is fine.

It happens even after I fresh boot the system.

I'm using the latest GB-PVR. I use an XMLTV file, but it's update is not scheduled via GBPVR, rather the data file is located on my server volume under a mapped drive letter and my server does the EPG file update nightly.

My capture source points to this file and GB-PVR is set to do an update at 7pm, when the system is always known to be on.

It doesn't seem to get the guide data, my XMLTV file is set for 7 days and every week I'll need to go into Config and do a manual Update EPG to get the data (doing Update EPG from "System" within GB-PVR doesn't work either.)

Any suggestions?

I've got this error during installation and I have no idea how to fix it. the application won't run properly (the dropdown boxes are all blank) makes me suspect it's some parsing xml or settings/config thing.

i can't launch the config, tuner etc applications either.

Had TOO many problems with the 1.0.16 version:mad: Missing channels in the guide, choppy live TV, too many features missing from previous version.

99.12 works perfectly!

I have two A180 cards that should work in at the same time. I had it working somewhat several months back with an older version of GBPVR.

If I have the two cards in the system at once, neither card seems to decode a signal from the air. They show a good signal strenght, but just don't decode the channel at all. If I remove one of them (it doesn't matter which) then it starts to work fine.

My setup is Windows XP Pro with SP2 installed. .NET 1,1 & 2.0 with all the uptodate patches installed.

With both cards installed, Windows detects both cards and doesn't give any error or !.

I know that it has worked fine in the past, but it just won't work with this version. I have tried to uninstall and re-install to no avail.

I did have it getting a signal with both cards installed under Win2K but it wouldn't record to the hard drive. I fixed that with moving over to XP but now I have this problem.

Is this something easy to fix? What do I need to provide to help solve this issue?


Matt.

Why hasn't anyone written one of these? Do the PC TV Tuners not support this, or maybe some? I have a friend that has a PVR (not a PC, but can't remember the brand) and it scrapes the TV guide from our local PBS station.
