I got a basic question. I am running a media box connected to HD TV via DVI. The Video Card is running in 1080i mode to my TV. If I play a DVD in this mode would it essentially be up converting the DVD to 1080i? I might be able to toss my (badly working) VINC up converting DVD player. Let me know what you think, I am new to his media box. Ideas.

Wants hella cool is, I have my GBPVR running on a server in another part of the house and my media box also running GBPVR can see the databases and play the media on that server from my media box.. It’s like I am sitting in front of GBPVR on the server.

THANKS GBPVR!!! SOFTWARE ROCKS!!!

Hi,

I just got an hvr-1600 at the weekend, and instaled gbpvr for the first time.
I got it working, picking up both analog and HD channels using just a standard RCA indoor antenna (amplified), but the signal strengths are pretty low except on 1 or 2 channels, so the picture and audio keeps breaking up.

I live in the 44118 zip code, and found on antennaweb that the main channels I want are at 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 191 and 196 degrees from my house.

I need to choose an HDTV antenna, to (hopefully) get a stronger signal.
I happen to have a window in my attic (right next to thePC with the tuner card) that points in the correct direction for the broadcast towers.

I'm thinking of either the Terk HDTVa (directional), or the Terk TV5 (non directional) antenna, but can't decide which is really going to be best for me.

Is 191 degrees and 235 degrees considered the same "direction" enough to have a directional antenna? or is it going to be SO directional that this small difference will mean it wont pick up one or the other?

Is a directional antenna really going to pick up stronger signals than the non-directional?

Any advice / experience with this would be appreciated.


Also, I was wondering if connecting my current amplified antenna, together with a new HDTV antenna with a 2 way splitter/combiner would increase my chances of a good reception?

Thanks,
Dan

I need to buy an operating system and was wondering if there were any issues running gbpvr on XP MCE?

Hello,

#1. Evrything is working well, but I'm having a picture quality issue. I see a trail on objects that move on my screen. Its very noticibale during sports events or when people move very quickly. Is there a way to resolve this. I've tried different cables/connections, etc. Nothing seems to help.

#2. I have a 52 inch flat screen HDTV. I understand that we can not record in HD, however, I'm having a slight graiy issue with my recorded programs. Could this be due to my TV resolution. My HD channels come in much clearer then my regular channels. However my Regular channels are coming in clearer then my recorded programs.

I have a PVR-500 and I'm useing the MediaMVP. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi, just installed GBPVR on my laptop and set it up as a PC Client. Standard plugins are working, tried XRecord plugin, as it is my preferred video plugin, it configured using the networked drives but when I choose a video, Play does not appear instead Delete appears.

Is there a way to make this work with a PC Client

UJB, EWA seems to have stopped working for me and I now get this on attempting to access it. I have a suspicion this is caused by something outside of EWA but just in case... Thanks for the assist.

Hi UJB

3. dd/mm/yy date system :-)

Hi,

As a newbie to GB I would appreciate a little assistance with a few points. Most noticeably I am getting corrupted TV pictures. Different channels seem to give different size pictures, one of the worst ones is the history channel, this shows only a picture in a small box in the top left, with the rest of the screen showing a variety of lines etc. Most of the channels fill the screen OK, but others are different sizes and positions. I tried this before on another machine some time ago and had similar results.

Also when hitting pause, it shows the message please wait, timeshifting, and then just locks up the p.c. Have done several clean re-installs to no effect.

I have just moved over from Mediaportal because I could not get the TV server working properly, although standalone operation was great. Sadly I am having similar problems with GB. I have followed the instructions to change the recordings drive etc to a network path, then I set up the client with this info and try and run GB client, it just loads the splash screen for a few seconds, and then shuts down. Again I have tried several installs. Video playback seems OK. I am using Nvidia Pure Video decoders, but have tried others with the same or similar effect.

Also the wiki mentions using a database on the server, I have no idea how to set this up.

Any assistance would be gratefully received.

Regards
Mike

I searched the forum and didn't find a post asking something similar to what I'm looking for.

It would be really nice to have a button (or at least a little link) to jump to the current time/day in the guide. I know I end up browsing a few days ahead to see what I'm recording next, but then decide to jump to the current time to see what I can watch now.

Sound like something to add to the wishlist?
