Slowly my GBPVR system is falling into line. I'm currently trying to tackle two issues that are bugging me.
(1) When I go from a channel coming off my QAM tuner to a channel on the NTSC tuner, the NTSC channel fails to show up. I can start on a NTSC channel and move among them, but not between the tuners. Going from NTSC->QAM has a tendancy to kill the sound -- I get the QAM video, but no audio.
(2) Scanning my QAM tuner is still not 100% with all the channels. I got all the local channels + a few more once, but since then I a bunch more but am missing several local broadcast stations. I've found a site with frequency information on it -- if I have that information, is there someplace I can manually type it in?
Upgrading to .16, I uninstalled and deleted devnz to avoid any issues. Re-installed fresh .16 release.
Got zap2xml, ran it to test output. The zap2xml contained channels and listing content. So I put the zap2xml .pl, cache folder, and xmlout file in a sub dir in Third Party folder. I then created an UpdateEPG.bat and tested it. It all worked. I ran config for the first time, setup my source, set xml plugin for epg, clicked on Empty EPG, Update EPG, message said it was updating. Channels showed up. Closed config. Started PVRX2 went to tv guide, and all channel have no listing info.
I have tried many combinations of setting up sources, saving, closing, re-saving, clearing, updating, re-installing, and I can't get the listings from the xml file into the db? Other posts show ppl having NO problem with this. So what am I missing?
When I fire up GB-PVR all I get is a black screen. Status says PVR-260 is asleep. I have added the card in my capture config. When I use the Wintv 2000 program everything works fine. Any ideas?
I am using the latest version and PVRX2 I had this problem also with 9905. I am unaware of why my machine locks up. I am attaching the logs there is an error message in there but it tells me nothing I dont really see any other issues. I have uninstalled all apps in my tray. Do I also need to uninstall WinTv and dscaler and stuff like that? I had a show in my recordings folder that was not showing up in my recordings list in the interface so I deleted that it was calle "The half hour news hour" dont know if that did it or not.
I'm having a number of issues with 1.0.16. The first is that I cannot download the Schedules Direct information without disabling my firewall. It is Outpost firewall. If anyone has Outpost and has managed to get it to work, please PM me on how. I've allowed config.exe and pvrx2.exe on all ports and everything and it still doesn't work.
I also cannot get smooth playback at all on any kind of TV in 1.0.16. I have a Hauppauge 1600 sitting in with a 3.0 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3 GB of RAM, and an 8800 GTS. I have the latest drivers and everything. OS is Windows XP Pro x64. I have tried using the Purevideo decoder, the MPV decoder, and the DScaler decoders. None give smooth LiveTV playback. I can only get smooth audio playback using AC3Filter. Using Purevideo creates choppy audio and using DScaler also produces choppy audio. I've tried every combination of Video Renderer and Decoder. This is not ATSC TV, this is NTSC. ATSC is even worse. I can't get anything to be smooth there. I get exactly the same symptoms in GBPVR.exe. I do not thing it is because I am running x64 either, because I had smooth playback working back in 1.0.8.

sub,
I've missed a couple of recordings over the last day or two, Heroes, The Nine, RWC but these are not marked as failed. Logs say somethign about corrupt memory?
I'm getting the errors like everyone else since zap died, but I've done several things to adjust and still get nowhere. For example, I created a free (trial) acct on Sched Direct, and when setting up the EPG source, I give it my email addr and pw, and it IS correct....but I keep getting this error (see attachment):
Your EPG source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG blah blah system.net.web.exception: The remote name could not be resolved: 'webservices.prod.services.direct.tmsdatadirect.com'
Does anyone else have this problem, and is there anything I can do about it?
I've been using the pvr-350 so it's a bummer about all that, but I can deal with it and get another card if necessary, but if I can't get EPG (free or otherwise) there's really no point....is there??
