I got dvb working and now am working on getting it to push over through the mvp. I added the ATI mux and sometimes everything works great, but most of the time it tries to start a channel, the screen goes black and then it switches back to the guide page. I seem to remember that there is some time limit that the program allows for a channel to start. It seems like it takes a little to long do get everything started and it gives up. Is there a way to give it a little longer? I just can't find the thread with the answer. Come to think of it, it may be happening on the pc as well so it might not just be an MVP thing.

I am using 1.0.8 (with HVR-1600) and had a problem while watching a show while it was recording. I started watching show about 20 min after it started. I would just use the skip buttons to fast forward through commercials. Everything worked fine until I caught up to where it was currently recording.

The time shown as the total length of the recording was about 10 min longer than what the actual recording was. So when tried to fast forward video would then loop in a fast forward mode and no button press could stop it. Sorry if this is confusing having trouble explaining the problem.

Let me try to clarify with example.

-Program started at 9pm with 1 min pre padding and ended at 11pm
-At 10:15 total record time should have been 1 hr 16 min instead status shows
1 hr 26 min
-Not realizing the problem I try to skip past the 1 hr 16 min mark and then as soon as I pass it the video starts doing what looks like fast forwarding (not sure I think it might have been looping or something but it was playing fast and play, pause or rewind failed to recover from the error).

Thanks in advance for any help I love this software especaily the web access to the guide.

1. Is it possible to see the cover of the cd playing when "mode" is adjusted to 1 big square on top and 4 small squares below?
2. Is it possible to play slideshows of pictures that are in subdirectories? (my pictures are in subdirectories with the date as the name.
3. Some way to show what music file is being played at the moment.

After installing 1.0.8, I first got it working only on the mvp. Then I read a post that I had to run direct3d so I had to get a new driver for my ati 9550. Then also on the pc I got the new interface from 1.0.8 (before the new driver: gbpvr.exe came up which looked almost exactly like 99.12 and pvrx2.exe crashed on every manually start).

I have some small issues:
1. On the remote of the mvp, I can't change channels with the digits, only with channel up/down.
2. On the remove of the mvp, button "pictures" doesn't work at all
3. In for example music library (but also videos and photos), "[..]" (up one directory) counts as "1". So with 15 songs in a subdirectory "[..]" is "1/16".

Question:
In tv guide on the mvp (the television) the lines around the programs are very thick, it is possible to adjust (in config-file)?

I won't go into the details, but I would like to meet someone living in Calgary that might want to be on hand to maintain my Ex's GB-PVR/MediaMVP...

Anyone reading too much into this, is barking up the wrong tree...

Hi is there a TV-Station DVB-S2 and a CI support in the latest GBPVR version?

Thanks

I wanted to know whether many people were using ZProcess with wide screen TVs. And how it was going!

Hey Sub:

Thank you so much for adding the 'start on second monitor' option. It works great for my setup (19" LCD + 480p CRT TV)

Small problem though:
Sometimes, I need to launch PVRX2 and see it on my LCD panel when I have the second monitor disabled. Previously, this would work fine - GBPVR would come up just fine on the primary monitor. Now, when I have only one monitor enabled, the application actually crashes before even showing the menu.

Any help? Thanks.

Hi

I am considering switching over to GB-PVR from SageTV. Since I get a lot of my content from firewire, I had some questions on how well this worked.

1. How reliable is it generally? For recording? Watching live TV? Several of the PVR packages have different levels of success.

2.I noticed that the setup allows for different graphs to be used (high vs. low, etc). What's the motivation for this? Is there something that I should keep in mind when configuring it?

3. Can this be used with content that is dumped in mpeg4 formats? I'm thinking of transcoding lower quality content directly to xvid.
