Hi everyone. I'm not a new HTPC user, but I am pretty new to GB-PVR; been playing around with it for a few weeks while I transition from my old HTPC app which seems to break something that was working well for me with every new version (won't name any names).

Anyway, the problem I have is that while in Live TV Preview mode using an analog software Conexant Capture card and the WDM software recording plugin (which is unsupported, I know), I can't get the resolution higher than 320x240. It will record at 640x480 just fine, and while recording I can watch the channel and the resolution is obviously higher (the OSD looks better, picture is sharper, etc.), but timeshifting, while it works, looks as low resolution as the live TV preview. I see no settings for changing resolution in the plugin's control panel (except for changing recording quality), but I know it is 320x240 from experience with my previous HTPC app. It had a specific setting for the Live TV preview pin resolution. I would often switch between 320x240 and 640x480 while testing things, and I can tell 320x240 visually now pretty easily and it's obvious in GB-PVR.

Sorry for all the background, but the bottom line is, how can I raise the resolution of Live TV and timeshifting to 640x480 in the software encoding plugin? Timeshifting is the part I really don't get, because If I set the installed software video encoders I use to record a show at 640x480 (I have both Intervideo and Cyberlink encoders installed, and both work, but Intervideo is giving me strange colors so I'm using Cyberlink), then shouldn't timeshifting display at that resolution? Thanks.

Hi,

Another newbie here.

when i start the mvp on the tv set i can only get the pvrx2 image but prefer the gbpvr screen as the plugins seem to be shown on this one.


is this how it should be or have i got a incorrect setting somewhere


many thanks in advance

hello
Sorry to be a pain .. I bought one of the most cheapest tv tuners from Dick Smiths about 6 months back and I cant find any sofware other than what came with it to even watch tv with . most of the times when I do record a show they dont play back properly .. Now I am thinking I would really like to get a Haupage dual tuner thingy 500 . Now then I think I would have better picture quality .. and maybe some PVR softwares ,inculding this one will actually see the card .. I dual boot in Ubuntu sometimes and havent had ANY luck with this current tv card .. So once I buy the new HW I can begin my PVR journey.. The thing I was wondering is .. Does anyone have any NZ specfic help like chanel guides and so forth .. first experiment will be just using an areial and getting free to air channels up and running .. Then maybe later I will invest in some freeview equipment , and I am hoping I will not hit to many snags ..
Any help /advice will be really aprecated

Hi

Finally installed the new Nova S Plus and tried it out. After huge problems finding a mux that worked, I now get from NZ TV1,2 and 3 recording that only fill about 80% of the widescreen tv that I use via MediaMVP.

Is this (smaller than normal) picture a byproduct of the mux I am using or is it normal for DVB-S via MediaMVP? The recordings from the PVR500 fill the screen as usual.

Cheers Mike

Are the Changes Log posted anywhere on this website? I'm looking for the version right before the switch to .NET 2.0 Framework from 1.1. I believe it is 97.13 but I'm sure.

I just got evrything working except for my Happauge MCE remote. FOr some reason I can;t get XP sp2 to find the correct driver for the remote. Anyway, is there any way to change the channel in GBPVR without a remote?

The TV Guide will display the grid starting on the top of the Hour and sometimes I can make it move to start displaying at the half hour mark.
But I do not seem to have control over it when I want it to be on the half hour starting time.
Am I missing the trick that makes it happen.

Hey Sub.

I've always thought it would be cool if there was some kind of notification if a new release has been put out. Of course, I can imagine no one want's to run a list-serv just for that.

I had this thought the other day:

Create a thread titled "New Version Notification"
It would be locked/stickyed so you can only post to it, (same as the "survival guides")
People could subscribe to that thread if they want to get a notification of a new release. (maybe the first post would explain this, and explain how to subscribe to a thread, as if they've never done it before). I'd stick it in the announcement folder.

Then when a new release is made, you can just post a quick note there, and everyone that was interested, would be notified.

Thoughts?

Hi. Newbie, so please bare with me.
I've recently set up a grabber for an EPG from D1. I've pointed gbpvr to the xml file and I'm pretty sure its successfully identified all the channels because all the channels compile into a list when I press the "update channel info" button in the config program (I'm at work and don't have it in front of me to know the exact button name!). However, when I go into the actual media centre and try look at the guide it says I need to set up a source. Is it possible to see the tv guide without having a tv card? How do i get it to just display the EPG without a tv card?
As mentioned, I'm new so if I've been way too vague/stupid pls be patient
Thanks
