Is there a way to set the amount of time the program description stays up at the bottom of the screen when you change channels? It's a bit too fast for us, disappearing before it can be read totally.

Hey guys,

I'm a brand new user. I recently changed my os from windows MCE to XP Pro. I have the Haupagge WINTV-PVR 500 card. I do receive the audio and my remote is changing the channels, but there is no vieo. I'm somewhat computer savvy, but I'm new th the PVR thing. I'm running v0.99.12
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Brandon

I'm not sure why this happens or what information I need to provide but since I've loaded v0.99.12 on my machine all my recordings have a brief stutter in them once a second. It's quite annoying.

I reloaded v0.99.05 onto my machine and it seems to work just fine.

Hi, I have a couple of questions:

1. Is there anything like the mediaMVP that supports HDTV?

2. Is it possible to set up a laptop, or other PC, with GBPVR, so that it does the equivalent of a mediaMVP - ie. acts as a client only, and can recieve live TV and recordings over the network?

Thanks,
Daniel

I've spent hours researching online, trying to decide on a tuner card to buy.
Right now I'll just be playing around with it in GBPVR, but it will eventually be going into a seperate PVR PC that I will have next to the main TV in the house.

I'm looking for some specific things, but seem to find different info everywhere I look, and then to add to the complication, when I think Ive found something good, I find loads of mixed / bad reviews for it.

I was originally thinking the ATI HDTV wonder, but too many bad reviews, and I heard its not fully compatible with GBPVR (something with scanning for channels?)

Im now thinking about the Haupauge hvr 1600, but it's not on the list of supported cards for GBPVR, although I saw one thread where someone said it was working for them.

Here's what I'm looking for:
-SDTV playback/recording with hardware encoding (I assume this is required for gbpvr anyway)
-HDTV ATSC playback/recording (since this is digital, no hardware encoding required right?)
-use of the SDTV/HDTV inputs as seperate tuners if possible
-full compatability with GBPVR.


Does anyone have any suggestions? Is the hvr1600 a good choice? Are there any other options with the above specs?

I also read somewhere that the hvr1600 doesnt have a hardware encoder, so it would cause high CPU utilization.... that's can't be right can it?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hey Guys,

I think I remember seeing a post about a setting that stops recordings that are missing from being removed from the Recordings List. By "Recording List" I mean the "Ready" menu from the Recordings plugin.I cant seem to find the post now though (despite rigirous searching).

I ask because I have my Recordings on a slave hard drive, which I occationaly switch out with a different slave hard drive, which I use to backup games, drivers and installation software for my DVR setup. When I do this GBPVR automatically removes all my previous recordings and leaves me with only the new ones it makes. Its not all THAT annoying, since I can just import the recordings xml dump from the last EPG update, but its still something I'd like to disable.

Is there a way via gbpvr to keep the sound leveled, especially when they crank the sound up during commercials? Using a PVR-150 with gbpvr.

Hi,
I'm getting the "Error:Failure playing back file" when using Live TV for some channels. It works a treat for other channels.

I'm watching free-to-air digital channels in Perth Australia. ABC, ABC2 and Seven are fine, but Nine and SBS have this error.

This is a recent problem for me. I was recieveing all channels using the last release of GBPVR.

I've rescanned the channels a few times. All channels seem to register without a problem - but I've noticed that the preview doesn't show for Nine and SBS.

Capture Card: Pinnacle, PCTV, Dual DVB-T Pro PCI
Video Card: GEFORCE 7300GS, Nvidia
CyberLink MPEG Muxer
FILE: D:\My Documents\Downloads\PVR\gb-pvr\MuxDrivers\Cyberlink\MpgMux.ax
VERSION: 5.0.0813

I had GBPVR set to start when windows loaded, now after I installed .12 it doesnt do it anymore, the shortcut in the startup folder is still there that made it start before .12 so whats going on?

The clock of my computer was some how set for a date in may and now even though I have reset the clock and it is stable, gbpvr still holds the date in may and thus none of my recordings kick in.....what can I do?

Thanks!
