Hi

I've recently bought a Nova-T-500 TV tuner, and it seems unable to show me LiveTV. However, I can record programs from within GB-PVR, and then view back these recorded programs.

I have tried all the Video Decoders and Audio Decoders listed, and the Video Renderer is set to "Overlay".

My specs:

1GB RAM
Windows XP Home SP2
160GB HDD
Athlon 64 4800+
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285 (this is a dual head graphics card but doesn't seem to support 3D features - I am wondering if this is the problem)

Thanks in advance for the speedy reply

David

Update:
OK, I've managed to get a picture on some channels. I seem to have some missing though (I have got a booster running, so I don't think it is a channel strength problem) and some have quite severe stutters on - BBC News 24 is particularly bad, which is a shame as it's the one I will likely be watching most, and I can't get BBC One or BBC Two to tune in at all. Also many of the channels seem to have picture but no sound - I've tried changing the audio codec.

Every thing was great until I updated to your new software.

We were using Version 0.99.12.

We removed all software, started with a blank database and config file.

We loaded Version 1.0.16. (The latest and greatest.)

We have everything working again…. EXCEPT that the subtitle delay on the MVP, formerly controlled by <SubtitleDelayMVP> doesn’t seem to work correctly. Does anybody have any input or suggestions?

Hi I am trying to use various XMLTV EPGs.
I have a display name that differs from the channel for example
display name is 7 KTBCDT and the channel ID is 7
the XML file has many entries for channel id 7 but when I update the EPG (in config) the logs says that 0 entries were found. (and of course the program guide is blank except for the station names)

In config channels tab it shows
channel name 7 KTBCDT
channel 7

It appears that the channel name and channel id must be the same.

What am I doing wrong?

So, I'm going to do it! I'm going to convert my server to a set top box. (It is server only in the fact that it holds the videos and records.)

So, I orderd a new case, and a gamepad (for GameZone). Future upgrades will be to add a Hauppauge 500 (dual tuner) and 500Gb SATA drive. (Currently has 120 and 160 Gb drives.)

I've enjoyed the Media MVP connection, and will probably move that upstairs to my bedroom TV. But there were just things I couldn't do over the MVP. For instance, GameZone. And DRM movies rented/purchased over the Net.

I hope to continue development of a plug-in to interface MovieLink or Netflix. This would have one part display a listing of movies to rent, and another to list the downloaded movies. Since I haven't found Web Services to display the information... I'll have to continue down the line of getting a Web browser control to work in GBPVR. (I have a beta that shows a hardcoded link on the screen, even on MVPs, but you can't scroll the screen.)

Has anybody else built or converted a box for set-top use? What are some considerations? What are some 'gotchas' you've experienced?

I finally got to watch Battlefield Earth, which I recorded off Analog cable the other day. It had commercials, but I enjoyed the movie.

With ComSkip turned on (post processing) I had a few issues where it skipped to soon, and dropped me into the middle of a commercial. Or skipped a little to late, so I saw a commercial, but lost a little of the next bit of movie.

I know I can manually tweak the timing after it's processed, but I love automation. I'd also like to have a no hassle, burn to DVD process that burns without the commercials.

I have not dug into this at all, other than my initial turning on of ComSkip. But, if possible, I'd like to take the short trip, and learn from your thoughts.

Awesome USB Satellite tuner, with a many modulations for NA users. (only one that it dont support is DVB-S2 (but thats not for america) )


pretty sure you can contact him for specifics and possible a sample tuner. Worth a shot anyhow.

I have the Skywalker-1.

Hi All,

I am fairly new to the whole HTPC thing but am essentially building a new low power PC in order to act as a media centre pc in my living room.

I stumbled across GB-PVR in the reviews of a motherboard on ebuyer, a I must say, I absolutely like this tool.

One of the things that I'm trying to achieve is to be able to access all my media sitting on a NAS upnp A/V server (NSLU2+500GB Seagate hdd). Is it possible for GB-PVR to be able to browse all upnp media servers available on the network and play video, songs and photos streamed from the upnp media server??

Best Regards,

Hi as the title says,

I have got a spare MVP and I was going to give it to the girlfriend, but when I checked her router its just Wifi and hasn`t got any ethernet ports. She has got this connected to her pc via ethernet.

So my question is whats, the cheapest and easyest way to connect the MVP to her PC?

Will it be buy a new router with 4 ethernet ports?
Will be be buy a ethernet switch thing??
Will it be buy a usb to Ethernet adaptor?
Will it be buy a USB wifi, so it free`s up the ethernet port, But then I`d have to buy 15m of ethernet crossover cable cause I`ve only got the other stuff.

So any advice would be appricaiated

Thanks

Pete

So I only accidentally stumbled upon this whole Zap2It closing today. Is Schedules Direct the only option for now? Are there any free alternatives? It's kind of annoying to pay $5/month for Schedules Direct when I could just as easily rent a DVR for that much and get rid of my loud computer.

I'm also wondering if it would be cheaper (long-term) to just buy something like Beyond TV?
