I've been trying to compile this thing for hours and can't get it to work, I know zilch about compiling. Does ayone have a copy of transmit.exe they could upload to zupload.com or something like that? I'd really appreciate it.

I upgraded from 98.08 (I think) to 99.12 and have some problems after the install.

Pending recordings are missing. Can't get to TV Guide or Live TV - Get "No Channels have been set up...." message. I've updated the EPG, even removed and re-added, but still get the message. Also when clicking on Recordings, get "Error: The Type Initializer for 'System.data.OLEdb.OLEdbConnection' threw an exception."

Any help would be appreciated in resolving.

Thanks!

This is the error message I get when I select "Live TV" and hit "enter".

Now, I must immediately explain that I still only have a half-arsed installation of GBPVR. Everything is set up, the channels are mapped (I see them on the small preview window) etc, BUT I don't have any EPG yet - because I have yet to teach myself how to grab the program data from the providers and install a XMLTV plug-in. It's uphill all the way.:confused:

But I had assumed that I could meanwhile manually choose programmes. Was I mistaken? Or is there some other reason I'm getting this error message?

Hi,

Just wondering what people would advise as a good and cheap option is for a second tuner in my GB-PVR box which has a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T SE Stick as its primary tuner.

I've had a lend of a HVR-900 which worked nicely, but it is one of the more pricey USB solutions.

What about these cheap non-branded DVB-T sticks on eBay which claim to support BDA?

I'm interested in USB or PCI.

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm very new to gbpvr -- was looking for an alternative since mediaportal didn't want to work on my new system. Gbpvr is looking very promising, but unfortunately I can't get it to work either. My current setup is as follows:

Laptop as HTPC (dell latitude d820; enough oomph to get things going :-)

FireDTV receiver
Single cable running to a diseqc switch
Two dishes, the 1st pointing at 19.2 astra for (encoded) canaldigitaal stuff from the Netherlands; the other pointing at 28.2 astra for fta stuff from the bbc and itv.
Latest drivers from digital everywhere

What I do:
Start Config.exe,
go to Capture sources,
Capture source = FireDTV; recording source = BDA rec plugin (which Config appears to find, since hitting "Only show devices detected" brings up the FireDTV),
Country = All countries (unchangable)
Region / transmitter = Astra 1E etc (where can I set the other sat dish?)
LNB setup = LOF1 = 9750, Switch = 11700, LOF2 = 10600, which are the settings that used to work in Mediaportal.
Powered = unchecked;
Diseqc = A (haven't the foggiest what to set this to)

I hit OK, then hit Update EPG (source being DVB EPG broadcast). I then click on Map digital channels to EPG channels, and then I get the error message:

"gb-pvr was unable to start the bda device you have configured. Check the device is configured properly, and not already in use"

I then get an Unhandled exception stating that "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Any way around this, folks?

And, by the way, is there an IRC channel for gb-pvr?

if live tv looks good via wintv2000 but in live TV in GBPVR seems to have trails and terrible colour, where should I be looking to change settings? (avi's etc play ok)

I have tried changing the VM9 setting to any available with no joy...

appreciate any pointers....thanks

I have a minor problem of that when I move my mouse onto the GB-PVR main window title bar directly from another area of my screen the mouse pointer disappears.However I have just realised that if I move to the title bar after moving over the main part of the GB-PVR window first the pointer stays, so problem solved really. I am using windows xp, any help please?
Cheers

Hi,

I have had EWA working great for over a year now. Yesterday it suddenly stopped working and gives the error below. I have updated to the latest GBPVVR release 99.12 and the vv63 release of EWA but it still fails. Any ideas what I need to do to fix this anyone?

There does not seem to be any native volume control when listening to music in GB-PVR, but there obviously is when watching LiveTV. It would be a bit more convenient if GB-PVR had this functionality when listening to music as well.

Would you pay for reliable EPG data? How Much (per year)?

With the end of zap2it threatening my tv life as I know it, I am ready to pay Tivo prices of $120.00 per year if I have to but would be comfortable with $50.00 or so.
