I just got this card today with 2 tuners on it (PAL).
Slowly I get everything to work, but for now I have 1 question.
First I had to do a slow "tuning assistent" to get the channel numbers and then putting them manually in the first Capture source.
But is it possible that I can't copy the channels from the first capture source to the second source, do I really need to put no. and name for all channels again?
Edit: But now when trying to put channels in the second source the "ADD" button is greyed out and cannot be choosed. :confused:
What am I doing wrong?
I've started work on resurrecting the Files plugin. Progress is slow but steady. The main focus is the management of external hardware such as MP3 players and the like using the GB-PVR interface.
I open this thread to all suggestions, thoughts and general comments....
I have an older MVP but will probably pick up another.
I have seen a lot of posts about the rev H mvps having trouble with saturation and brightness. Was this ever resolved or should I stay away from the rev H version?
Edit(6/13/07): Card appears to be back in stock at geeks.com for $33. I have been using two of these for 3 weeks now with gbpvr...they have been working great!
Geeks.com is selling the TwinhanDTV ATSC (D+A) PCI Smart TV Tuner (Model 3250) for 34.99 +S/H. I used the coupon code DEALWORKER for 10% off, bringing it to $31.49. Shipping for me was $8 for one, and I ordered two cards and shipping did not change. Link: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=32500&cpc=SCH
My understanding (though I do not have one of these yet) is that is has a digital and an analog tuner in it. From forum searching, it looks like the digital side works with GBPVR, but not the analog side (I do not think it has an onboard mpeg encoder). There is mixed information whether or not it does QAM. It also looks like it is a full height pci card, so it might not fit in some of the small form factor boxes.
It looks like people have used this card successfully with GBPVR. It comes with a IR remote, but from what I can tell from forun searching, people have not had much luck with Twinhan remotes.
There is a thread discussing this deal on slickdeals:
When I get these in and working (hopefully) I will report back. Note: I am only interested in the digital tuner for OTA...I have no plans to mess with the analog tuner.:mad:
Hi,
I have got the Svideo setup working perfectly couple of weeks ago. Then I accidentally deleted the capturing source on the svideo at the configuration. I have tried to set it up again but doesnt work, now I can only heard voice but no picture on the svideo. The TV program has no problem. Any reason?
I am new to gbprv but like the look of what I have seen so far, even though I cannot get my HDTV tuner card working when I select Live TV.
I have setup DBA.ini as per the Wiki instructions
Quote:[Dvico Fusion HDTV DVB-T PCI Pro]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=FusionHDTV, BDA Tuner1
FILTER_CAPTURE=FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture1
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
These settings work when I setup a capture source, with all the channels being located along with picture and sound in the little preview window.
When I select Live TV I end up with just a blank screen. If I activate the status display it shows that the channel is selected and can be changed but there is no Video or Sound.
Any advice would be most welcome. The HDTV card is capable of Analog TV and Digital Radio as well but I am only concerned with getting the Digital TV working at the moment.
I just got an MVP used and I'm having some trouble getting it to work. As a test I have my pvr and the MVP hooked up to a router. Nothing else is on the net. I did not load the hauppauge software.
I changed the config to autostart one MVP server.
I power up GBPVR and then power up the MVP.
The MVP very quickly goes to loading application.
After about 60 seconds, it goes back to contacting DHCP server and then it says contacting mediaMVP server, and that's where it stays forever.
