I've just upgraded to Vista and the latest GB-PVR, and I keep getting a "no channels found" error when I try to do the channel mapping.
I'm using a Hauppage Nova-T stick which was working fine before the upgrade. I was previously using GB-PVR 0.97 (the EXE version is 1.0.2547.35214).
As far as I am aware the settings are all the same. I've edited BDA.INI to include the device and checked its name with Graphedit - this works fine because it's detected as an installed device.
During the scan several channels report Strength of 141-142 and Quality of 100. However when the scan finished it reports "no channels found".
Any ideas? What should be my next step in fault finding?
Thanks
Andrew
I decided to shelve my AIW 9700 Pro and use the Geforce 2 Integrated GPU that's on my Asus A7N-266VM. I'm using the 93.71 Forceware drivers from October 2006.
I have Intervideo's codec from WinDVR 3 as well as Cyberlink's PowerDVD 6 installed. The Intervideo looks good in GBPVR but uses up 80% or so most of the CPU time. PowerDVD looks good on its own if I force bob, but playback is jittery through GBPVR and deinterlacing is poor. Full screen playback hovers around 20% CPU time.
For the deinterlacing options in Cyberlink I selected "Specify Manually", "Always perform deinterlacing", and "Bob". When I use the GBPVR configuration menu I choose "Bob".
Of course my goal here is to get the same playback in GBPVR as I do when PowerDVD is playing back one of my recordings directly.
My system is ASUS p4p800-vm board, 2.8 P4, 1GB, Nova PCI and Nova USB and Twinhan DVB-S and DLink USB NIC. Since adding SATA HDD I'm having USB problems. The NIC isn't starting unless I do a bit of fiddling - device manager shows unknown device. If I get it working, it stops at the next reboot. Also, I'm using the nova USB as the remote receiver and this seems more likely to interpret a button press as 2 presses. Anyone had experience sorting this type of problem?
I see several conversations about this card all over this forum, and I know that apparently the QAM is not supported in GBPVR (yet... is it planned to support?). I do not see the card on the wiki's list of capture cards. My understanding is that the cable tuner side is essentially a PVR 150, which is apparently one of the preferred cards for GBPVR. I would like to give myself the option of seeing those QAM channels but not if I can't make use of the regular channels too. I am going on the assumption that I won't like the Hauppage provided media software since it seems to get slammed in a lot of the reviews I have seen.
Should I just get the PVR-150, or will I have the same functionality out of the box with the HVR-1600 & GBPVR, with the possible added benefit of future QAM support?
For a brand new setup for a friend, could I get some NZ oriented advice re GBPVR compatible tuner cards? I only have experience with anologue PVR150's but we have Freeview digital satellite, now, and terrestrial provision in March next year. The site in question has a SKY dish so after the horiz polarity switchover that could be used for the feed if required.
After i've updated the EPG and clicked the Digital Channel Mapping button it starts scanning and it picks up five ABC channels, two for Channel Ten and another one called MyTalk. Then it just freezes up when it gets to 18 of 51. For 18 of 51 it says the strength is -2190 and Quality is 89. But it wont go any further than that and i'm unable to stop it and have to ctrl alt del my way out of it. I've tried different XMLTV files and no matter what i do it always stops on SCANNING 18 of 51.
I'm from Australia and i've got a Dvico Fusion DVB-T Plus. The software that dvico provided with the card picks up all the channels and i can watch them through the dvico software with no problems. Latest drivers.
ANY help would be appreciated. Its taken me 3 days so far to get to this point and i've got no idea how to fix this one. I didnt think this would be so difficult.
Just a quick blurb: all the errors listed in this thread have been fixed. Many of the features have been added.
If you have new errors or features you want please use this new thread since this current one is really long and hard to keep track of. New thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=28861
I just had something odd happen. My MVP is showing a different display than the gbpvr on the actual computer. The computer is working fine however on the mvp I don't see any tv guide (it thinks it's not configured). I've lost a menu item and I don't see any recordings.
Can someone shed any light on this plz ?
Thanks,
Greg.
