I'm having some client/server issues. I have 0.99.12 on both the client and server and not matter what I do, I can't seem to get GB-PVR to load on the client. I have turned off all firewalls on both computers. I have tried using the host name and the UNC for the "server". I followed these instructions I found in another post... Still no go...any ideas? THANX!

so i have been reading the forums.

this is how i want to view my tv on my computer

i have a Ati 650 pro
a comcast digital cable box
so i have a coax going to the digital cable box
and then out of the digital cable box to my Tuner card
however i can nOt see any channels

ALL i need is for gbpvr to see channel three!

i dunno what's going on, i've tried plugging coax in the other coax input on the tuner card, i've tried many configurations

right now it's late for me and maybe i'll upload this log file later..

but all i need is gbpvr to display channel 3 and i can use my comcast remote to go through the OSD for my digital cable box

is this hard? is this supported?
i've tried BYpassing the digital cable box too

STILL i can not have analog channel 3 to show up

please any thing...im crying...

my system specs
Videocard: SLi BFG/PNY 8800 GTS 640
Processor: AMD X2 3800+ OC 2.6 on air
Mainboard: DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert
Memory: CorsairXMS DDR400C2 1gb
Soundcard: x-Fi MusicExtream
PSU: PC POWER AND COOLING 750 Silencer

Greetings and Salutations,

What would happen if I had two physically separate tuner cards set to the same board number -> capture device?

Thanks, Cheers

Probably this has been covered, but the wiki listing doesn't get into comparative performance and my search of the past two months' posts here hasn't turned up a previous thread that's quite on point.

I'm a TV tuner novice, though I've now read a lot of reviews and specs. I'm looking for the best technical/visual performing PCI-E/PCI tuner card for a powerful/recent WinXP PC, US installation. Cost is not part of the ranking. I have a tower-mount HD-rated directional antenna signal, but no cable or satellite.

Goals:

Single tuner at a time, analog broadcast plus digital broadcast at 720p/1080i
Off-air captures are recordable to DVD
Fast channel switching
FM tuner OK but not needed
Full compatibility with GBDVR, of course

Some possibilities:

AVerTV Combo PCIe (unknown performance?)
ATI Theatre 650 Pro (2 seconds to change channels? happiness in the same box with an nVidia 7950GX2?)
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 (off-air recordings not compatible with DVD standard, per their specs page?)
Others?

For some reason, I can get the mvp to work w/ huappage software, but not gbpvr. i.e. if i disable huappage services, i won't be able to connect to server w/ gbpvr running. I'd have to enable the huappage service first as well as run the gbpvr media server. I read somehwere that tftpd32 may be needed to dynamically allocate ip numbers when using a crossover cable, since gbpvr can't do it while hauppage can. anyone got a screenshot of their tftpd32 settings? thanks.

Sub, could you Please please please change the title of the MVP server window so remotes will work right? not anything else but the window title..
it's already different from the main app title, but they start with the same things, so almost all remote software can't tell the windows apart..

i tested irremote.ini and it works with a mvp started if you change the window title to anything else..even "GBPVR Media MVPServer" [no -] just so it doesn't start with the same exact letters...we can specify the mvp server window cuz it's longer, but not the viewing app...
or better yet, add a bit to the viewing mode app window name..."GB-PVR Local" or something so wouldn't break mvp server utils that look for the name..

i also believe this would solve a lot of other remote's config problems, as i've seen several that couldn't match exact window titles, only starting strings..

i have found a way around it, using a little util to send messages,it renames the window title and everything works fine.. i believe it's just using a wm_app command itself...
i just use: send -h -a -n "MVP" "GB-PVR MediaMVP Server" ""
and it will rename all your mvp servers to "MVP" and remote messaging with irremote will work great...
tho would rather a name change as this is impossible to do with the auto-restarting mvp servers cuz it couldn't catch those events quickly..

pweese?

Okay, this one might be really pushing it. I've found that my DTV Phase III satellite is useless for FTA. you can't decode DTV streams because they are DSS, not DVB. (No, i wasn't planning on breaking the law )

So, I decided to just use a DTV receiver. The cool thing about the receiver is that you can change the channel with a serial cable.

Is there a module, plugin, or some other facility that I can employ with GBPVR to call an external command when I change channels? This would be idea for being able to use GBPVR and stick my DTV receiver in a closet somewhere.

If there is no way out of the box, I am willing to work with the developers on something. I have numerous years of programming experience. But, I can get into what I've done/can do if someone is interested.

Thanks.

Hello

I am having trouble with my DVR. There is a refresh rate bar that moves up the screen and is very annoying. At least thats what I think is going on. You see these bars in videos that are taken of CRT Monitors because the refresh rate of the monitor is different from the speed of the film. The difference shows up as a bar that scrolls up the screen.

I have that same bar connecting my computer to my tv. Its not just in GB-PVR but exists in any program I run.

If I am going to use my GB-PVR as a dvd player I really need to get rid of that bar.

My video card is a Geforce 4, and I am connecting to my tv via an s-video cable.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

how about a combo box to pick a day?

Given multiple capture devices, show which device will do the recording

does anyone know how to set up the TV guide?
