How do I tell GBPVR which capture source to use first?
i.e. if I have two cards, how does it choose which one to start recording on?
I'm trying to get a second card working but it's not connected to anything yet, and since I've installed it GBPVR is using it for all recordings, which are thus coming out blank...
How can I make it use the original capture source first?
I searched for a bit but could not find the specific issue that I was having. I have GB-PVR 99.12 running great and have had not problems with scheduled recordings or live tv in months. I love it. I downloaded the comskip utility from the wiki link version 79.95. After copying the .exe file and .ini file to the gbpvr directory and scheduling a recording to test the recording started but the recording service showed that it was in the recording status several hours later and the file size was only about 6kb and the show ends up not recording and I have to stop and restart the recording service. I'm viewing ATSC content so I don't know if that will make a difference. I'm recording files in the dvr-ms format.
Just a few small issues that I've run into lately:
-When playing recorded content directly after using the jump ahead button and going back to play the video has major tearing. If I pause the video and then go back to play the tearing goes away. It's always after skipping through a commercial and then going back to play that this occurs.
-If I start recording a show using the quick record option I have to go back to the main menu, then go back to Live TV in order for GBPVR to jump to the other tuner so that I can watch other channels while recording. If I just start recording a show and then try to change channels it doesn't work, I am stuck on the current channel. Again, the workaround is to go back to the main menu then go Live TV.
-I am seeing random lockups on changing channels and then a crash. I am using VRM9 FSE anecdotally seems to be part of the problem. I don't believe I see this issue when running overlay.
Hey if I build another computer for my living room TV, And put gbpvr on it, is there anyway to access the shows on this computer and vice versa?
Actually I don't just mean the shows, but also the databases. I'm just curious, because I still got all this hardware laying around, including a software based card that works just fine, but I was wondering if there was anyway to access the recorded shows on this computer, including the comskip and tvguide stuff :S, I know I could just open up access to the drive I store the videos on and map a network drive, however that would only help me with the video player, not the recordings screen stuff.
Anyway to do this?

I live in Pukekohe, New Zealand. I've been using GB-PVR for a while now, and its great ... but I have constant problems with XMLTVNZ for the EPG.
I've funnily enough got a sky satellite dish that is not being used. Is there an easy way for me to get an EPG off sky/freeview. If its just a matter of adding a $150 odd DVB-S card, I can live with that. But I don't want to spend the money if it won't solve my EPG problem.
Do I need a different LNB from the standard Sky one?
Can I add a DVB-s card without disturbing the functioning of my 2 PVR150s?
Should I sell the PVR-150's and get 2 DVB-S cards and use Freeview?
On that note, is Freeview high bitrate? Cos I find the sky digital service to be terrible quality - my eyes are particularly sensitive to digital artifacts (which is part of the reason why I don't have Sky at all).
Should I wait till next year for DVB-T MPeg4 which will hopefully have some HD content?
Would someone be able to take a gander at this and make sure that i have it correct before i go and get the cables?
I have two photos attached, back of the HTPC and back of my Pioneer amp. I think(!!) that i now need a S/PDIF (RCA) cable from the S/PDIF out port on the htpc to the DIGITAL IN (COAX) on the amp (marked in green on each photo)... and a S-VIDEO cable from the SVIDEO output on the small breakout(?) box from the htpc video card to the SVIDEO DVD/LD in on the amp (maked in red).
