I just upgraded from v.08 to v.16 and now I have no audio in LiveTV or DVD. These both worked in .08 and they both work in GBPVR.exe just not in PVRX2.exe. Logs attached.
If this problem has already been addressed please point me in the right direction.
I just updated from v0.99.12 to v1.0.16. I have a StreamZap remote and their latest driver app. Previously, I would hit the exit button in GBPVR and it would act just like the escape key on my keyboard. When I updated to v1.0.16, it now exits the PVRX2 application, no matter how many menus deep I am. I am now using the v1.0.16 GBPVR app and it works fine. I have tried every combination of Hauppauge/MCE remote choices in the config app, but this makes no difference.
Unfortunately, not being able to exit from the TV Guide, which has no Menu, I can't use PVRX2. I spent a couple of hours with Girder, trying to config another button to map to the Escape key, but couldn't seem to get it to recognize PVRX2 as the current window.
I've got 2 issues with recording OTA HD, first here are my specs:
C2D 1.86GHz (OC'd to 2.33GHz)
2 GB DDR2 SDRAM
HVR-1600
1. I'm able to watch live TV with the ASTC tuner, but I cannot record and I don't know why. Everytime I record it just shows static.
2. When I watch live TV with the ASTC tuner, over time the video and audio become out of sync. My processor only goes up to 15% as far as I've seen but the video seems slowly get out of sync with the audio. What causes this?
I seem to have developed a problem where a program successfully records, but the details do not get stored in the database, so is dfficult to access. Logs are attached (see 01/09/2007 19:58:00.662 ERROR [5]).
Looking at the log, this seems to be a reoccuring problem, anyone any ideas?

I have been successfully running 0.98.xx with two PVR250 installed. Needed to add one more tuner so I selected a new PVR150. While I was at it, I updated to 1.0.16.....and a new PC....(ouch...too many varibles!).
Started with 1.0.16, the new PVR150 and Schedule Direct, clean install. All worked fine. Added one PVR250, still, all worked fine. (record, playback, live tv, two channels recorded at the same, etc). Added third card (the second PVR250) and lost the ability to Record or see Live TV. No video signal (to watch or record) in PVRX2 or on MPV; just zebra stripes or snow (though the correct channel data appears OSD). (MPVs hang-up then reboot when trying to watch Live TV, but will play zebra stripes or snow if I use TV Guide/Watch. However, it still will playback previously recorded material).
Tried several things, among them, unistalling ALL video drivers/Cards and re-installed ONLY the two PVR250's. No Change. Also uninstall 1.0.16 and reinstalled it, (though it still showed my card configuration in the Capture Card section as well as Schedule Direct channel line-up). I can't even get back to the original working model!
Like many users, I had become quite obsessed with trying to get smooth TV and videos. Not especially smooth - but as smooth as a £10 freeview box or £15 DVD player.
After many, many hours trying all sorts of different drivers, decoders, deinterlacers etc. I decided to bite the bullett and reinstall windows:eek: . This is not something I took lightly. Many will be dismayed that I have upgraded windows versions for years - upgrading to ME from Win98, then upgrading to XP Pro. So I have not done a clean install since 1998! Have been through many motherboards, Cpu's, video cards and hard drives in that time, but using my trusted tools of Ghost (dos), regcleaner, and repair installs of windows I have never had an issue. So this shows how annoyed I was getting!
So now I had a clean install of XP, and the following:
Athlon 2600+
Hauppage Nova-T 9003
Nvidia FX5900
Nvidia 91.31 drivers
GBPVR 99.12
Dual monitors in clone mode - Primary 32" LCD running 720p @50Hz, secondary CRT@75Hz
For the purposes of testing I did not want to install anything else, so used the Intervideo Non-CSS decoders for video and audio, and the dvrms BDA multiplexor.
I then tried all possible settings in GBPVR, plus all the settings in the Hauppage primary tool.
What I found is that the only two combinations that gave acceptable (to me) performance were Overlay, or VMR9 FSE with DXVA and HWMC turned on. VMR 7, VMR9, and VMR custom gave me the same issues I had before (and again the juddering was made worse by turning DXVA on in these modes):confused:
So I used Ghost and reverted back to my usual Windows install, and found that the two working settings still worked the same - but with one exception. In VMR9 FSE the ticker text on the news channels had a horrible combing effect. As I had all settings the same as in the fresh install of Windows, I was puzzled until I remembered that I had changed the version of Quartz.dll as advised by some of the support threads. I changed it back to the newer 6.5.2600 version and the horrible combing was gone.
So the conclusion drawn from my painstaking experimentation is that VMR 7, VMR 9, and VMR custom are crap! And turning on DXVA makes them double crap! For me and my rig, anyway.
So now I am using VMR-FSE. I had been avoiding overlay and this mode - overlay because of the blocky text and the long delay before TV starts, and FSE because of it's quirky behaviour - like not getting the desktop back after quitting GBPVR and problems resuming from standby. But I am now satisfied with the TV and video picture.
Some other observations - once I had the 'good' setting, changing my LCD to 60Hz refresh rate made hardly any difference. I think juddering is often blamed on using 60Hz on LCDs in error.
But I still get much more noticeable judder if I try to use 1:1 pixel mapping on the LCD (1360*768). So I have to put this down to either my PC struggling with the slightly higher resolution, or the LCD itself. However the judder is also present on the secondary CRT so still not sure about 1:1 mapping.
So the ideal compromise for me is to use 720p for GBPVR, and 1360*768 for my desktop - to achieve this I found more usefull info from the support forums and use Reschanger.exe to launch GBPVR in 720p, and when I close GBPVR it goes back to 1:1. I do this from the green button on my remote and an edited Irremote.ini:

1. When you search for a term and get a list, is there anyway of jumping to the page that has that keyword? If the thread is very long, it is sometimes difficult to find the part that talks about your problem.
2. avatars. If I have a picture that I want to make my avatar, what do I have to do to get it in the right format for adding to my signature? I have photoshop but when I use it, it usually makes the size of the file in bytes bigger.
