I have two shows set to record later today. I was wondering if there was something I could enable or install that would show me the estimated size of the file that will get recorded once the recording is finished. As of now I have both 2 hour recordings set to medium quality because I have no clue how much space they will take up.
Just installed the new release. Everything went smooth with the exception of video quality on play playback. Using the new version (pvrx2) the video quality is pixelated and very grainy and way too bright. I tried on VMR9 and Overlay with no difference. Restart with the old interface using overlay manager and video playback is perfect as it always was? Maybe I don't have the horsepower to run the new interface?
Firsty, huge thanks to Sub for giving us a bit of software that's now become as useful and central to my home setup as a VCR or DVD player
I've been using gbpvr for 18mths-2yrs now and have only just bothered to play with Hibernation (last leccy bill was a good prompter). I've got gbpvr to hibernate and wake up with no probs, and XP power management makes it go to sleep fine, but I was wondering about the remote I use (the Hauppauge remote that came with my PVR250 card).
Possibly a dumb question, but does the Hauppauge IR sensor that plugs into the 250 stay active when the machine is in Hibernation, and if so, is there a way to configure the power button on the remote to wake up the box from Hibernate?
after experiencing some object refrence oddities under settings (which worked themselves out with a reboot), when I click search wizard in the gbpvr interface, I get this error...

I'm helping a friend convert a system into a GBPVR box. He purchased the HVR1600. I installed GBPVR 1.08 and am trying to get the capture sources set up, but am struggling.
He has DirecTV, so there's a tuner box that has coax coming out of it and goes to TV Connector on HVR1600. He also has an ATSC antenna that has coax and goes to ATSC Digital TV Connector on HVR1600. Computer LCD monitor is connected to analog VGA connector on video card, and an HD projector is connected via DVI to video card.
I configured a capture source for the ATSC Digital TV Connector as follows:
BDA Recording Plugin: Hauppauge HVR-1600 (ATSC); Device Number 1
EPG Source: XMLTV Plugin (pointed to yapixml.xml)
Channel Changer: No Channel Changer Required
I configured ytvapi_xml.exe with Provider of DirecTV. I then clicked Update EPG, and then Map digital channels to EPG channels, and mapped the scanned channels found to the ones in the DirecTV list.
I save changes, exit, run GBPVR UI, and click Live TV. I can switch channels, which are broadcast ATSC channels.
Problem 1: I click TV Guide, and it comes up blank.
Problem 2: Is the ATSC capture source set up correctly? What is HVR-1600 (QAM) all about? I've read through the forums but don't understand.
Problem 3: How do I setup a capture source to be the channels that are in the DirecTV lineup, which is connected to the TV Connector?
I know that the IR Transmitter needs to have a clear shot at the DirecTV box so it can change channels, so I know that means I need to select Channel Changer as .exe Changer plugin, and I set the Executable to HipSend.exe and Parameters to {channel}. "Zero pad" and "Use three digit channel" are checked off.
First off, Nice release Sub!
I'm not sure if this is by design, but it seems to be consistent that the menu button will not do anything when in live TV mode.
(I love the mini guide that "go" brings up, although I might note that it shows channel numbers twice due to the channel number being part of the channel name)
Also, I have seen where If you watch through one show and onto the next, the green button will result in the red bar at the top extending past the total time display.
Finally, although I have not tested it myself, I have been told by a household member that 0-skip does not work for comskip. (I use the play button, which does work)
I'm wondering if anyone has got this to work. Under mediaportal the EPG data would be fetched from the DVB-s source and mapped to each channel. I have tried using 'Parse DVB Data' and UpdateEPG etc to try and get it to work but so far I havn't gotten anywhere.
I'm using the Technisat Skystar 2 BDA and OptusD1 as my satellite,
Since installing the new version, I cannot rewind or fast forward using the remote with my MVP. Skip forward and backwards works, but not rewind or fast forward. Any ideas?
