I would like to use live TV more, except that for now I have to do so with the digital sound out from the computer connected to my stereo setup.
The problem with volumes, for real-time, is commercials-- the volume of the commercials. As they get broadcast at higher volume ^H^H^H^H^H^H "with more penetrating frequencies" as the broadcasters say, it is pretty loud at times.
Is there a way, even theoretically, to have the same normalization with live TV that television sets can have as a feature?
If it's a recording it isn't a problem thanks to comskip.
I have 3 cards in the system. With one card setup to record off both cable and s-video from a STB.
If I schedule two recording to start at the same time, one on cable the other on the STB, GbPVR tries to use the same card. The cable recording doesn't happen.
The recording status show as both being recorded on the same card.
I've tried to change the card order in the config, but still have the problem.
i tried to enable "exit" in config.xml but it wont exit gbpvr/pvrx2 back to the mvpmc menu i like how i can use music client /slimserver and play net radio or music and then start emulation mode and run gbpvr but how can exit back to mvpmc without powering down mvp ?
I have a strange problem whereby I can't watch Live TV or view the TV Guide in v1.0.16. It is odd because I can do both from a client PC and can access the web guide and stream successfully on both the client and the server. The only thing I get in the logs is:

This makes no sense to me as everything works from clients and the web!
The GB-PVR plugin and it's user interface has had only a few tweaks but the listings web scraper (InternationalCinemaListingsUpdater.exe) has undergone a major overhaul and now works off an XML config file which will hopefully improve the turn-around of a fix for when one of the source websites changes (as they seem to do quite often in the case of fandango.com)
The reason for the post is that I don't want to waste mine or anyone else's time creating the new config files for sources that are not used. I've already done some sources: fandango (USA & Canada), easycinema.com (UK and Ireland), filmladder.nl (Netherlands) and cineman.ch (Switzerland), which ones on the list below should be kept up to date and brought over from the previous version of the plug-in?
nzcinema - cannot be used anymore
This may also be a good time to post your wishlist items on this forum.
edit: all sources completed, thanks for your messages
I love the weather plugin. I finally edited weather.xml and made it so it will work with any icon set from: http://liquidweather.net/icons.php which is pretty slick.
But... I would love it if it would try to use night icon if they exist. Perhaps in the xml file have a <type> tag where it would be day or night. That would just top it off.
I currently use an external tuner to receive ATSC broadcasts (Hughes HTL-HD DirecTv receiver - this DirecTv receiver allows you to get ATSC/OTA reception without a Directv subscription! ). The tuner is then plugged into my PVR150 for capturing through GBPVR. If I set the tuner format to 480i, then all HD programs are downconverted to SD (which is what I need since I do all of my viewing with the MVP - and that's probably the only format that the pvr150 would record). I use a serial cable connection to change channels with a custom executable that I wrote.
The whole system works great, but I'm wondering if there is a more efficient way to do this? I assume that what's happening is that the tuner is converting from digital to analog, and then the pvr is converting from analog back to digital. It seems like there should be a better way to do this. Are there any ATSC capture cards that will downconvert to SD? Or would you just have to use transcoding afterwords. Transcoding seems like more of a hassle than my present setup, though it would be nice to get rid of the rather large external tuner.
