Installed GBPVR today and thanks to the posts on this forum have it working great. The only irregularity I seem to be experiencing is when I start to record live tv. The picture size shrinks by about 2 - 3 inches on all sides keeping it's aspect ratio but smaller. Playback of the recorded program is the same.
I am using Windows XP, clean install, SP2 and fully updated, latest version of GB-PVR, Hauppauge pvr-250 and ATI Radeon 9200 SE. I have tried changing the Video Renderer in Config from VMR9 to VMR9 Custom and VMR9 Full Screen Exclusive with exactly the same result...no change. Is this supposed to happen? My tv's screen size is 1024x768 and it looks like resolution is set at 720x480 when recording at high quality, is this the reason for the picture changing size?

Thank you in advance for any assistance I recieve.

I've noticed that new shows aren't recording (just getting fuzz), so I tried the tuner assistant and got the error message "failed to find crossbar tuner". So I figure the drivers got hosed and I rolled my system back to a ghost image from a couple of weeks ago when it was working, but I'm still getting the same error. Does this mean my card is crapping out?

I'd try a re-install, but I'd be interested in thoughts on whether it could be something else besides my hardware going bad that rolling back to a previous ghost image can't solve. :confused:

I've had a ProVideo PV 258/259 going on maybe two years now, so it could be its time is up.

Thanks!

I bought this dual tuner PVR-500MCE tuner card last year. It worked great with GB-PVR on my Windows XP system.

I recently upgraded to a couple of HVR-1600 cards, so I no longer need this card.

It's the card only. I don't have the remote, or any other accessories it came with.

I paid $138. Will sell for $80 (including shipping in the USA).

Trying to make the onClick do something.

I want to force a new Ctrl-G - anyone know how to do it??

I have a brand new HDHomeRun digital TV tuner I just bought last week. It worked fine with the VLC viewer, so I know it works. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work with anything else on my system and don't have the time to fuss with it.

The company I purchased it from isn't responding to their return request form, and will charge me a significant restocking fee even if I did return it.

So, I figured I'd offer it to someone else who might be looking for one, and save us both a little money.

It's in the original box with all supplied accessories (it didn't come with ANY instructions. You'll have to visit the silicondust web site for that).

I paid $169 last week. Will sell for $150 (shipping included in the USA).

I have installed this plugin twice and it does not show up in the GBPVR config/plugin list. Is there something to look for? I am running GBPVR v.99.5.
I installed the lastest version of the SearchWizard Plugin.

Does anyone know of a freeware program to join MPEG2 recordings? I use VirtualDub-MPEG2 to remove commercials and convert to XviD, but it cannot join multiple MPEG2 files.

Hi there

I have just started to experience a strange problem with LiveTV.

I always use timeshifted mode. When I go to a live program I am finding that the stream is behaving badly in two ways. It keeps going blocky and corrupted, as if the reception is bad, and after a few seconds of playing, the video starts to run very slowly, and goes out of sync with the audio. If I pause the program for a few seconds, the latter problem goes away (at least for a while, sometimes it comes back).

Could this be a mux issue?

Hey all, I'm having trouble getting the net to work on my PVR computer, so until I get that fixed is there a way I can download the TV guide info manually on the computer who's net does work and then copy it to the one that doesn't? I'm using Zap2It but I'll take any options.

Edit: Nevermind, I fixed it.

Hi, Is there any way SearchWiz may be accessed from TVGuice or TVListings as they both have an "Find More" button when selecting a show. I guess its more a question for sub or Alibert but it would be a very nice feature

Thanks again,
