I recently built a new HTPC and have had a little difficulty getting quality tv playback. One of the main issues is that intense colors (reds, purples, some blues, yellows) seem to flicker or pulsate making stationary objects seem to move. What causes this and how do I fix it?

Here are some details on my setup:

1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo
1 Gb RAM
PVR-350
Gibabyte Radeon HD 2400 Pro

TV playback occurs through my video card using either the ATI DVD Decoder or the codec that came with the Hauppauge card (I haven't decided which one works best yet). Right now I have pretty much all of the Catalyst Control Center options turned off or set for performance.

Thanks for the help!

Can anyone tell me where to find/download GBPRX2.dll? I am working on a plugin and can't find it on my machine anywhere.

I currently use a PVR250 which is fine. I want to add a DVB-S card to record satellite channels. Some of the channels are duplicated across the satellite and cable (which goes into the PVR250).

If a channel exists on both I want to record from the DVB-S, else the PVR250. How do I set that up?

Any ideas welcome

Thanks

Can one switch from VM7 to VM9 (I'd llike to use PVRX2)?

Is it a driver thing or a hardware thing?

I have no IR receiver on my PC. Would need (or should have bought!!?) an USBUIRT to teach my computer to communicate with my Pace 551HD STB via my IR Blaster (IR Blaster.info)? Any configuration file available?

Any help on this?

:-)

No idea how I can reproduce this but this is what happened (and nothing in the logs I could see indicates anything).

Set pvrx2 to record a show at 2:30am (from the guide). When I got up to look at it (World Cup Rugby for the Kiwi's in the BBS) the recording hadn't happened. And no file on the drive named Rugby World Cup etc. Pretty disappointed of course.

Then the next day was in PVRX2 and under recordings selected Whats New. And a show turned up I know I hadn't recorded (a children's show on a different channel). But looking at the time of the show, it was the same as the rugby I had tried to record. Viewing the show confirmed this.

So this is strange

1. I selected a programme to record using the guide
2. PVRX2 recorded the show (right channel and time) but gave it a different name from a show on a different channel and quite different time!

Perhaps my guide database is all messed up?

Any ideas sub?

Thanks

Can someone post the text from the updateEPG.BAT file? I mistakenly deleted it when I pasted the call line for I-xmltv.

I run the --config.bat. It goes to Schedulesdirect and pulls my channel listing down but it never populates the database. THen I go to try watch live tv I get the erorr message about missing tv listing. Am I missing something?

Well I need my TV tuner for tonight, and in GBPVR, i seem to have bad quality picture.
I plug the thing into my TV, and i get a crystal clear picture. I then plug it into my TV, and its meh quality.
Its crap quality compared to the HD channels I get locally.

I need some form of instructions within the hour please, I'm trying to record Heroes tonight.
I think it has to do with the brightness

Thanks!

Hi All!

I'm having some problems with my GB-PVR locking up after about 20 minutes with the screen turned off (or less). If the TV is on, it works flawlessly, but then if its off for a little while, it will simply lockup, and I can't figure out why. It doesn't seem to matter if I leave it in the menu, or on Live TV. Its a little older computer, but should be okay, I'd think

My setup is (as best I can recall)

AMD Athlon XP 2200+
ATi Radeon 9600 (64MB I believe)
Hauppage PVR-150
768 MB RAM

I'm using the S-Video out on the ATi card to go into a 27" Toshiba CRT TV (no hi-def or anything), and this is the only display hooked up. I plan to use this as a standalone DVR.

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
