Hi,

does anyone know how could I use the hauppauge blaster to control my TV and STB? Currently I cant use the blaster cause the STB is not listed in the hauppauge database list. Any recomendation? Thanks.

Hi,

I'm in the process of creating that is just for capturing with hdhomerun.
Here the basic computer
CPU P4 1.8
MEMORY 512K
HD 160MB
OS XP/SP2

I've installed gb-pvr and installed the hdhomerun as instructed in silicondust forum. Used the qam mapper. I'm able to view qam channels via vlc & gb-pvr (of course it's jerky). But I'm now attempting to record (.ts), and it always records 0 bytes.
I've also check wiki and the sticky about dba mux'er and i do see 1 listed. I know it must be something i missed.
Can somebody point me in the right directions?

Thanks,

Greetings

i was wondering if most people get the wired mvp (if they had a choice) cause of the faster speed of wired or not ?

Hey Guys,

Starting up the support thread for ComTweak v0.6

For more information check out the Plugin's wiki at: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/ComTweak

Hey Guys,

Just released a new version of ComTweak. In addition to some new UI elements and some internal re-workings for my File List so that it now supports any and all directories (including drive roots) I have programmed in the Windows API functions to control the instance of Comskip which has been run from GBPVR.

Although I had planned on implementing the Marking Commercials feature via GBPVR before allowing multiple instances of Comskip to be run, I am leaning toward switching their priorities. I think I can implement multiple Comskip instances fairly easily. Once I finish that I would be left with only the Marking Commercials feature to focus on, which I think is going to be significantly harder.

Hi,

As I tend to save up recordings and then watch them one after another, I'm in need of a bigger harddisk. In fact I bought one today.

Now, I can change the path for new recordings, so that they will end up in the right place. No problem there...

I know I can move all my recordings to the new disk, but that would mean the database would be looking at the wrong place for my recordings. So I guess I need to do something to fix the database after the move. But what?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Best regards,

Wouldn't it be awesome to have a "Virtual GBPVR Cluster" of GBPVR HTPCs where you could view/stream recordings from other users? For instance, you could form a cluster comprised of someone from the UK, Canada, USA and New Zealand. Then schedule recordings on their GBPVR and have it uploaded or streamed to your GBPVR.

I know that there was a similiar initiative with x-share but I think it was ultimately abandoned due to copyright reasons.

I've noticed that there are a number of shows that are either not broadcast in certain countries (Regenesis) or broadcast late (current run of Doctor Who in the US is a season behind the UK). I've heard of some shows broadcast in the US that get broadcast much later in Europe. Or there are some shows that will never be broadcast in certain markets (Australian Idol will NEVER be broadcast in the US)

My thought on the whole thing is that the Networks work hard to get you "hooked" on a show then you're at their mercy on when you can watch it. Also, what is the legality of "sharing" a show, but leaving in the commercials? The various incarnations of the MPAA no doubt have made that illegal because they don't have control over it.

Thoughts, comments, criticisms?

DISCLAIMER: I thought about putting this in the wishlist, but I understand that this will never happen due to copyright issues so I just thought I'd bring it up as a discussion topic.

Is there a way to turn off saving the recordings when channel surfing under TimeShifter mode? (I have live preview mode turned off)
I have found many miscellaneous recordings in my LiveTV Buffer directory.
This seems to be eating up my hard drive storage very quickly.
How do I stop GBPVR from saving them?

Curious. I haven't installed anything for a while.

Lately, (sometimes) when I try to delete a recording, it appears that it hasn't deleted. I'm able to try several times.

Only after I close GB-PVR and open it, does the Recordings list reflect the deletion.

It's similar to when you try to delete a show that is in the middle of post processing - locked...

All right, what logs you want?

I am still confused about how to get the channel guide to work with the OTA channels. I have a set up a separate Zap2It account for my OTA HD channels. They appear like the following in my Zap2It account:

4-1 WTMJDT
4-2 WTMJDT2

and so on.

When I do a channel scan in config I see the following:

4 WTMJDT
4 WTMJDT2

Now I do not want to overwrite my analog stations so what I am trying to do is map the HDTV channels to 100+ for now.

So as I understand it I Add the channels but what do I name those channels? Is it "4-1 WTMJDT" or is it "4.1 WTMJDT" or "4 WTMJDT" or something else? For example this is being added at channel 100. How do I get Zap2It to update my channel guide properly? After adding the channel at 100 and naming it "4-1 WTMJDT" and then doing an EPG update my guide is still empty for 4-1 WTMJDT. I am assuming it has something to do with the way I am naming my channels.

Help!

Thanks!
