Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade by gbpvr server, but I want to only upgrade the motherboard and processor. I'd like to keep the other components I already have. I've looked at some of the newer boards and processors and they seem to be reasonably priced, but then I'd have to get new ram, video, etc.
Here's the components that I have and would like to keep:
1 gig SDRAM (2700)
120 gig WD HDD EIDE
2 x Hauppauge PVR150
ATI Radeon 9550 AGP
I'd really like to have digital audio out onboard and additional pci slots are also a plus. I'm definitely not against buying used (Ebay or otherwise) and don't have a preference between AMD and Intel. I would like the new set up to be able to playback HD content.
Any help in finding a good fit is greatly appreciated.
I have since GB-PVR 99.12 (my first try @ network GB-PVR) a small problem with the GB-PVR Server/Client Stability.
I have a Server (192.168.0.1, no firewall, no DHCP) running WinXP Pro latest build. This one is running GB-PVR 1.0.8 as a streamingserver. 2 Clients (192.168.0.3 & 192.168.0.4, no firewall, no DHCP) running WinXP Home latest build. These both are running GB-PVR 1.08 as clients in streamingmode.
The problem is the following:
Both can connect to the server, both can access to the database, both can start and watch timeshifted LiveTV... BUT... the streaming stops after a while. Most times after around 30 Minutes. Both Clients are using both Tuners of the PVR-500 and both Tuners write down a timeshifted file to the harddisks (the files grow and grow and grow, and after a channelchange the old timeshifted records will NOT be deleted!).
But while the growing files are more secondary important i am seeking for a solution why the streaming stops and the picture freezes. Even after the streaming stops, both tuners are running. I have the same errors, if i only try ONE Client.
Filesharingmode is not possible and don't works...
Can someone help me out of this? Is something known about this?
It's really important to me, because i plan to use one central PC with a bunch of TV-Cards and a distributed Network for receiving the shows (normal PCs, special MCPC's for Livingroom, bathroom, childsroom, kitchen...), but it's useless if the testarea isn't able to run stable.
I have a Windows XP system with a Hauppage WinTV-HVR 3000 card to receive DVB-T signal and when I start GBPVR to watch live TV it crash. If I deinstall ffdshow it works...
I was one of the few guys who used the TV-Out of the PVR 350. To keep up with the latest release I want to change my configuration and use the TV-Out of my graphics card.
My question is, is it better to use a standard resolution like 1280x1024 or to change to the pal standard 704x576. Which resolution provides the better picture quality?
This is no big deal. I'm just wondering what I did wrong.
Visited the states last week and was lucky enough to find a Fry's Electronics in Indianapolis. For those of you outside the states, Fry's is roughly the size of a blimp hanger and is stuffed with all kinds of electronics and computer parts. I think I was in there for 4 hours.
Anyway, I picked up a 500GB Maxtor drive for $99.00.
I copied the entire contents of my recordings drive to my external backup drive. Installed the new drive and copied everything back. The drive has the same drive letter, same folder structure etc.
Fired up GBPVR - no recordings. Tried "import programs" got "programs already in place or location changed"
I did not back up my recording-dump.xml file because GBPVR is installed on a seperate drive that was not touched.
When I first fired up the machine after installing the new blank drive GBPVR tried to install itself just after windows boot. No clue at all how this happened but I suspect this is where my problem came from.

Hi
It's not on the hardwarelist and there are no drivers as the tuner is supposed to be used with the Vista Media Center (which gives som problems, as I can only maintain either analog og digital programlists)
Is there any chance that I can use GBPVR for this card ??
I'm posting this here, partly as a last hope that I might work out a solution to my problem, and partly as a warning about the stability of the Nova-T-500.
My card was working great, up until a couple of weeks ago. I upgraded my power supply to a Seasonic (for better effciency and a quieter fan), and at the same time I removed a CD drive from the machine which was no longer needed. How could this possibly be relevant to your TV card I hear you ask? Well, ever since I did this I have been getting regular BSODs while recording, with the error "Driver_IRQL_less_than_or_equal", and a reference to USBEHCI.SYS.
I have done my research on this problem. I have contacted Hauppauge, and I am still awaiting a response. There is a thread over on the hauppauge forums, which shows that this is a problem affecting a significant number of people, http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=9888. I can only assume that it is a problem with IRQ conflicts, although some people claim to have experienced this error even when there are no reported conflicts. Basically this card seems to have some serious stability issues on certain setups.
So, does anyone have anything they can suggest for me to try? This is one of the most frustrating problems I have come across in my time of working with computers!
I feel pretty stupid as I have installed ML2 on my Vista system and can't get any noise from it! I can see the albums and tracks on the screen so the database is populated but clicking a track does not have it play. There are errors in the logs attached. PVRX2 looks in the skin2 directory for the xml so I copied the ML2 directory to there.
Right now I have a 1600 I use for cable and a twinpauge for HDTV OTA.
Can I put the HDTV OTA into the other coax input on the 1600 and return the twinpauge? Will there be any difference etc? (I think the other one isnt encoded or what not)
