Just bought a new MVP from Radioshack. It had the SPDIF and is rev H3 It also has a ROHS sticker on the plastic bag the remote came in. It was not on special but Google check out gives you $10 off. $95 with shipping, tax, and the $10 off.
So I am thinking that since my system is gbpvr dedicated that I do not need an high end firewall. I was thinking that really I only need to block everything except for port 80 (for weather and EPG updates) and whatever I configure for web admin (EWA in the near future).
So I'm thinking that the XP Pro built in firewall would be sufficient.
Your thoughts ?
about the current shipping problems i Europe I got this reply:
Quote:The old MediaMVO design did not pass the RoHS certification as it contained too muhc lead in some key components. The new design is readay and have passed all crtierias. As it looks now, we are starting to ship end of June 07.
Can anyone share after some months you encountered GBPVR become more sluggish and hang sometime when try to watch TV during recording and some other problems that seems GBPVR trying to load big junk of files or anything like this? But after reinstalling GBPVR on new folders it seems to be more responsive and quick. Any explanation to this? Thanks.
When recording a show, in this case it is a recurring program, the system (99.12) creates a folder but there is not a file in the folder. The folder is created but the show is not copied.
How can I set the aspect ratio in full screen mode? I have a wide-screen lcd, but most cable tv is still 4:3. By default, GB-PVR just stretches the picture across the whole screen, which is ugly. I'm using a PVR-150 under Vista.
I'd like to have the option to pause on the fly, which I guess means starting in time shift all of the time. For example, if I'm watching a baseball game I want to be able to pause and rewind, and maybe have the last 30 minutes or something available.
When trying to open configuration nothing happens and my PC proceeds to beep. This is the second time its happened, uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the problem temporary the first time. Recording service is running, I able to record and watch shows but can't change the config. Could adding skins cause? What else should I look for? I'm Running 99.12 on XP SP2 with a Hauppauge Dual Tuner Card 500MCE. I'm a newbie to this so bare with me. Thx
When I'm watching LiveTV, the analog channels look better when deinterlaced. But the digital HD channels (especially CBS and NBC) skip and stutter. When I turn deinterlacing off, the digital HD channels are smooth and stutter free, but the analog channels look worse (not unwatchable, just not as good as deinterlaced).
Can GB-PVR be set up to use different deinterlace settings for different situations without exiting-running config-restarting? More specifically, is there any way to tell GB-PVR to switch deinterlacing on or off depending on which tuner is used? So when I'm using an analog tuner, I'd like deinterlacing turned on. When I'm using a digital tuner, I'd like deinterlacing turned off.
It also has a ROHS sticker on the plastic bag the remote came in. It was not on special but Google check out gives you $10 off. $95 with shipping, tax, and the $10 off.
