When I eventually get a HD TV, I will probably start getting and encoding HR files. Right now when I play something HR encoded from HD, my system is too slow to handle it.
I have Sempron 3100 (1.8Ghz, 1GB RAM) system and a nVidia 6200 card. Are either these up to the task, or will I need to replace both of them?
I have my own PVR software which calls gbrecord.exe version 0.91. It has been working fine on my PVR-500 dual capture card. Now I want HD! So I have ordered a HVR-1600. I also thought I should upgrade to the latest version of gbrecord, so I came here and installed version 1.08. But, there is no gbrecord.exe in this installation, and gb-pvr appears to be a complete pvr application.
Is there a simple command line program I can still call, which supports the HVR-1600? I am currently using command lines like:
Whenever I play a .avi file I get this weird overlay over the video. It give me the frame, output size, input size, and something else. It's in green letters and takes up about 15% of the screen. Is this a codec issue? I tried the .avi in WMP and got the same thing.
just wondering if anyone has successfully configured COMSKIP to work 100% or at least 99.999999% with the NZ channels ?
My current configuration is a pain in beep beep beep where sometimes it picks up all of the commercials but other times it will miss one or 2 or half of them ?
Whenever I try to scan for QAM channels in the Digital Channel Mapping, the application Config.exe hangs. The Event Viewer states:
Hanging application Config.exe, version 1.0.2743.37641, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
When I re-open the screen and click on the available channels found in, "channels found during scan:" it often hangs too. I do receive video in the preview window and I am able to map the channels in the "Tuning Requests", but they do not work in the EPG, but WILL work with the Hauppauge remote(e.g., clicking the number 7 on the remote).
QAM channels work fine in WinTV 6 and I have tried the various patches and edits mentioned in previous posts.
Most HTPC builders use basic (analog) cable with their tuner cards. But the fate of basic cable after analog shutoff in Feb 09 is not entirely known. Local channels will continue to be broadcasted over basic cable, but you may need to buy digital cable (with the box) to get the rest of your channels (like cnn, courttv, history, etc). Then HTPC builders will be stuck using crude IR blasters, and by then it would probably be easier just to rent a DVR from the cable company.
Where can I find the channel logos for the Cox Cable system(US). I have attempted to try to find them using the Channel Logo Tool but it appears to work only for Satellite systems. Have I made an error?

I forgot to change my 0.99.12 skin back to the default before the
upgrade. Everything works great but I have no System Button
on the new Main Gui interface. Is there a way that I can get it back.
This is how I updated my EPG.
I thought of disabling the check mark beside the plugin but it won't let me uncheck them
would a reinstall help?
I have had an MVP for a week now, and so far have been unable to get it to work for anything except viewing jpgs (!)
The device reboots whenever I try to watch live TV or recorded TV (very annoying way to handle errors).
I have attached my logs. I think it seems to be unable to find the files through the MVP, or there's something else with permissions going on.
I have switched off the Windows firewall, tried a couple of recorded media locations (including shared folders), but nothing works. I can't understand why it can't seem to locate any of the files when it works direct on the PC.
I have a Nova DT 500 PCI card on an Athlon 64 3200, XP SP 2, 1Gb Ram, GeForce 6600GT Video Card. Everything works fine with GBPVR on the PC alone. I have unistalled the Hauppauge software.
