Hi

I can't watch live TV as I'm getting this error message; any ideas?

I've set-up the source fine (and it found all the channels via the Sutton Coldfield transmitter), using my Freecom DVB-T USB device. I know the device is fine as I was using the bundled software, TotalMedia.

Help.

Regards

Hi all,

Just putting together my first PVR. I've installed a ATI theatrix tuner with GBPVR and works fine.

Now regarding the video:

I've got an integrated nVidia 6100 in the motherboard w/shared memory. After some tweakings, I've made it work (quality is not great though). So I'm evaluating getting a new card. I've seen 2 models that may work (I'm in Mexico, so availability is not great)
- nVidia-based 7300 (w/128MB memory), heat-sink cooled
- nVidia-based 7600 (w/512MB memory), fan cooled, also includes hardware decoder for Mpeg-2 & H.264

Questions:
1) Will the 7300 give me a significant improvement vs the integrated 6100?
2) Is the 7600 worth the price difference (u$ 150 vs u$s 60 of the 7300)?

I have a AMD 64x2 4200+ computer, and use mostly regular TV (not HDTV) and DVDs.

Any answers appreciated. Thanks!

I am having trouble with my HVR-1600 in GBPVR. The quality is pretty annoying and at first I was thinking because it was an analog souce on a 32" HDTV, but the more I work with it the more I get confused.

1) When the Coax is directly connected to the TV the picture quality is really good and no interlace lines.
2) In Win TV the quality is not as good, but there are no interlace lines.
3) In GBPVR the quality is bad and there are interlace lines on everything.

I would really like it to look like it does when connected to the TV, but I can probably live with the worse quality, but no interlace.

Another problem/weird thing is that the only way to view TV in the standard 4x3 aspect ratio is to use pillar box. This is not that big of a problem, but it is of centerered and shifted to the right. I also thought AUTO should give the 4x3 aspect ratio, but maybe I don't completely understand what the AUTO feature does.

Thanks for any help.

I had this running fine under XP, now that I went to Vista GB-PVR misses channels during the Scan, I've changed the Virtual Channels back and forth and replaced the Remap file. But it always misses the same channels. But they do work fine under VLC.

I know this has been asked and mentioned but the more that mention it show a need.I have a 17 inch touch screen in my dining room (Central place for it) and used it for sooo much.

I have just given up using Meedio as the support to it is poor now and slow and there are many issues with .net compatibility and unfinished projects.

Also im now looking at moving PVR as well as using it for a juke box.

Before i spend hours looking in to it is it just a skin issue? or is there need for extra funtionality needing to be added to allow a skin to work with it?

TIA

I have Vista Premium, I have the HDHomerun using QAM.

I have 2 tuners set up right now the Hauppauge 250 for analog and the HDHomerun for HD.

If I go into GB-PVR and test in the TV Guide my analogs channels display fine, Video and Sound.

If try my HD channels I get Video but no sound.

Under VLC it works fine (although I did have to change the video out put mode - before I was getting sound with a frozen video in VLC).

Thought I should give my new nova-t-500 a go. Spent an hour on the roof trying to adjust the antenna with scanChannelsBDA. Don't get a really good result, and can't quite figure out why. I can almost get all the muxes right, but each of the muxes requires the antenna to be slightly adjusted this or that way

Oh well, that's not why I post After setting up one of the devices from the nova-t-500, I get a black screen when trying to watch a channel, and if I try to record, not much happens. 0kb recordings for a long time, then they seem to go to 690KB... Can you spot anything in the logs? I tried to watch "Melita möter Christina Doctare" at 14:03, and tried to record it at 14:10. Ctrl-O gives good signal stats.

hi, i just started to use the plugin and wonder why the imdb lookup is limited to movies genre. My xmltv listing can give me genre (movies, movie) or for example (movies, comedy) and the lookup only works for the first. Also since on IMDB you have other information (read series info) I was wondering what the reason is to not always try to find on imdb if pressing ctrl+green irregardless of genre?

Excellent search tool thought, thanks

Is there a way to increase the number or recordings that display in the "Whats New" panel?

I haven't watched closely enough, I don't know if items drop off due to # of recordings or date or both. I think what would help me would be to move the date back a bit, unless there's an 'n' that I would need to change as well.

I recall a post from a while back, where sub provided the keys to edit which let you shift the placement of the output video in the X/Y direction, so as to center it on the screen a bit if needed; I've searched a bit and not found that post.

Could someone repost that information?

Thanks-
