I've tried downloading version 1.0.8 and 1.0.16 and neither work. The get to within .07 MB or so of finishing and then stop downloading. What should I do?

To add to the growing list of xml tv listings, there is a free scraper for zap2it.com so it supports the same zap2it US and Canada cable/satellites.

I've found some issues that I don't see addressed on the forums so I thought I'd share them:

1) Using PVRX2.EXE I cannot hide the "exit" button by unchecking it in the config application or config.xml. To make a long story short, I'm basically making an "dummy proof" system for my parents and don't want them to exit to Windows accidentally. I am able to hide the exit button in GBPVR.EXE

2) When enabling/changing the subtitles in DVD playback, the subtitles will go on and off but there is no OSD to indicate that you have changed/activated the subtitles. In GBPVR.EXE, it will indicate SPANISH, ENGLISH, etc..

The following has been addressed by others but I thought I'd mention them anyhow:

1) For some reason or another, the internal GBPVR screensaver never activates. In GBPVR.EXE it works fine.

2) When watching LiveTV, would it be possible to give a choice to use the old style guide back in? My wife misses it

having almost given up trying to get a decent mpg2 encode/decode on my x1650, i've reverted back to on board nvidia 6100 (which is better, although not really up to HD)

i might buy a new graphics card (pcie) - any suggestions?

appreciate advice

I've signed up for a new cable service and need to do some IR blasting with their Motorola STB's. I've looked at some of the IR blasting solutions listed on the GB-PVR wiki (i.e., usb-uirt, ir200l, redrat, etc), but these solutions are quite costly. I also noticed that an .exe Changer Plugin is listed for other IR blasters that have an executable interface that can transmit a channel. Is anyone aware of any third-party IR blasters that will work with this plugin?

I noticed there are many affordable USB-IrDA (with extension cable) options available on e-bay.

Might one of these work?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi All,

Up till now I've had one recording source (one side of a PVR500 to Sat reciever) so this has been a non issue. I've now added the second PVR500 tuner as UHV/VHF tuner source. The second source consists of a small subset of the same channels on the first source (NZ Sky Digital on the first and old fashioned broadcast on the second).

My (possibly stupid) question is, can I somehow have the duplicate channels appear once on the EPG, and have the software choose a source when the channel is required?

Thanks in advance,
JohnO

OK. A bit off-the-wall, but has anyone got any ideas as to removing on-screen channel logos from recordings?

The screenshot attached shows what I mean. Your man here seems to have BBC THREE tatooed on his head. Call me a perfectionist or whatever but I find this sort of thing really distracting - when I'm following a tense scene and dialogue, I don't want to see this sort of thing. It's like the annoying fly buzzing around your head that you can't catch.

The logo seems to be a semi-transparent overlay which is applied before transmission. What would be really cool is an analysis tool that you could teach the level of transparency of the logo and would then invert or enhance the background colours to effectively remove the logo.

It could run as a post-processing task maybe - I'd be quite happy to wait for an hour or so to watch a recording if that damn fly wasn't buzzing around my head.

Or maybe I should just build a bridge and get over it.

Cheers,
Brian

I seem to have it working under gbpvr 1.0.16, but only in list mode.

If I try to setup channel mode (following http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugi...Configure), I can't seem to add the recording source.

Gbpvr's config tells me that I have to "setup the recording source before you can continue". SO I click the setup for the recording source and it tells me I have to save it first.

If I somehow manage to get past the screen, GBPVR's config doesn't save the new source. I'm wondering if it's a bug in gbpvr's config or if I'm doing something wrong.

Hello,

I just installed 1.0.16 from .99 or whatever. I have some questions:

1. how do I search for shows? I cant seem to locate the search box anywhere.

2. My live TV has sound but no video. Any idea why not? WinTV2000 shows video and sound.

Thanks!

I've done some reading but think I missed something...

Using 2 PVR 150 set to composite Cable TV

Added new capture source, to the first PVR 150, using External Tuner. EPG set to none... Added a Channel 'Video In' Channel 0...

In TV Guide I can play/watch the video. If I try to record it, a popup pops up and I can choose 'until I exit Live TV' or 'For a specified time'

With exit LiveTV, that means I have to watch, while I'm dubbing. I don't want that. I'd like to start recording, pop over to watch something else, and then pop back to stop recording...


For a specified time, it will try to record, but if the tape is finished,and there's still more time left for the record, I have to go to the "Recordings" and cancel 'pending' recording...

Is there a plugin where I can start, stop, and view all from the same screen, maybe like a Tape recorder...?
