Yesterday I decided to buy a Hauppauge HVR 950. When I opened the box I realized that I didn't get a 950. Windows loaded as a 980 and it looked a little different then what was on the box. GBPVR see's it as a 950. I can't watch or record TV through GBPVR client. I keep getting an error about my EPG not being populated or updated. I have a zap2it account, I have set it up populated it numerous times. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am at work so I don't have the exact error.

But I can however watch TV through the map digital channels to EPG channels button. (That tiny window that shows scanned channels) I can change the channels and everything. It looks like everything should work. I get sound and everything. Its actually somewhat impressive. (Maybe I am easily amused?)

Basically my question is does the HVR 950/980 work with GBPVR (ATSC wise, I could care less about the analog side) How do I resolve the problem. I understand I may need to provide more information to resolve it but just knowing it will work will at least let me know I am not wasting my time with the program and bugging you guys in the forum.

Thanks for any assistance!

Allow simple text entry.
It is not easy to do "\\machine\share\folder" via that "Choose Folder" interface, it only allows it if it's in the history of folders you browsed using explorer. I just edit the config.xml, but it's not "nice" and "clean". But if it was using the interface such as in Start->Run, that also uses the auto-completion (both from history, but also from doing a "dir" on the folder), than it would be nicer.
Just a thought.

Ok so i want to connect my nintendo wii to the pc via the composite cables. I have thse outputs on my PC.

Now how do i setup GB-PVR to do this?

By a freak accident, I accidently left my mvp's remote next to the heater. it melted the plastic next to the batteries....arggh....and fused the battery w/ the remote...

i don't have the wintv's pvr usb2 remote w/ me now, but would it work in controlling the mvp?

So i downloaded and installed all the community skin files (a 5mb download and a 25 mb download). It installs correctly. However, i can't select/browse a different skin at one time...i have to select individual parts of each skin. anyone know what i'm doing wrong? i.e. there's no mce2 skin like in the basic skin.

secondly, why does the tv guide show the show descriptions only about 3/4's of the width of the screen? you know...the part below the table of channels... like 1/4 of the screen on the bottom right corner is left blank. why is that?

Hello,

I have just installed GBPVR and am having trouble setting up my capture card. I have an ATI TV Wonder Pro. Under config, I check the box titled, "Only show devices detected on this machine." I then get an error saying, "No known cards found."

Obviously I noticed that the TV Wonder Pro is not on the list in the config. Is there any way to use my tv card with GBR? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

No matter what I've done I cannot make channel 388 show up. I use Zap2it and it's checked in there, I have it in the config and it shows up there and it's also checked....

When I start GBPvr it doesn't show up. Any clues?

Thanks

:confused:

I am sure this question have been answered before, I just can't seem to find it. I am currently recording to dvr-ms but would like to make mpeg2 files instead. Has anyone found a good encoder to do this? Thanks.

My System:
AMD X2/4600+ on MSI K8N Mobo
Geforce 7900GS
1 Meg Ram
320 GB SATA II HD

is the hauppauge wintv board 878 be used with gbpvr. thxxxx

I think my problem is a windowsXP problem but when I try to playback a recording, gbpvrr will crash and the computer will restart itself. It can happen any time between 1-3 minutes after starting the recording. From information gathered from another post on crashing, I checked the windows event viewer which says this:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( GB-PVR Recording Service ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service started successfully..
(I don't have a remote computer - I have a TV hooked up to the computer that is crashing as a second monitor. I couldn't figure out how to use the Microsoft help or how to use /auxsource=flag)

My system was very stable up to 2 days ago and now it isn't; I have checked for viruses,etc. and have someone helping me to figure out what is wrong - its like all the programs are degrading a bit - I had to reinstall my firewall, my virus checker,etc. When gbpvr first started crashing regularly, I tried to download and repair my installation and I thought that worked.

I was using vmr7 but now I am going to try overlay as suggested in the other post. Because of the likelihood of a crash, I am posting now rather than rewrite this after the expected crash. I have attached my logs from today but, as with my other problems, winzip gave me a message that it had problems creating this file.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
