Hi all,

I noodled around with MythTV, then MediaPortal and finally arrived at GBPVR as it was the only one that I was finally able to get my MCE remote blaster to work with my Dish box. Hats off to the developers on a really nice app!

Finally, I thought I had everything set up, but alas, one problem still exists: the channel does not change for a scheduled recording and I cannot figure out why.

To be clear, the blaster blinks and changes the channel on my Dish box correctly whenever I, a) enter the channel via numbers pod, 2) use the chan up/down button, or 3) the up/down arrow keys.

But for a scheduled recording the nothing happens. It just records what ever channel it was on. The same is true if I do a manual recording.

I've Googled and searched the forums but couldn't seem to find a similar problem.

Anybody got any ideas?

Hi,

Got my freecom stick installed with the correct drivers (I think), but when I go to Map digital channels to EPG I get:

Error failed to locate configured BDA device.

It then crashes and I get:

************** Exception Text **************

Which I hope enables someone to help me!

Fantastic software and getting the tv bit working would be the icing on the cake.

Thanks for reading,

Larry.

I want to be able to just playback media and use the remote that came with my tv card. If I tell you what hardware I have, can you tell me if gbpvr supports it?
The card is a KWorld Global Terminator, which has an saa713? chipset. I had a hell of a time trying to get the remote to work in Linux. Apparently it isn't "GPIO". So are my tv-out and remote compatible?

As the title says. There may be a problem parsing MLB data. Maybe once it is the regular season this won't be a problem.

Just figured I'd ask.

38,

Funny, I feel like only 37.875 at the oldest.

Hi, finally my satellite TV is coming in gbpvr...but check out the attached screenshot...the display is all garbled up, though the sound is coming just fine. I tried switching to overlay manager, but it didnt help. Any ideas anybody?

This is usb2 pvr, on my Vista 32 bit.

Hi,
I ran the config and used the XMLTV plugin to read my channels. I see that the channel names show in my config, but when i start LiveTV, it says channels have not been set ....

I tried running both as administrator. I am using Vista and latest version of GBPVR from the site. Please help

I was able to watch Tv ON GBPVR before i reinstalled vista, so i know it works...but why not this time?

Also, for some reason in the config, "empty epg" is not working too now. I have to manually delete each channel one by one.

ive noticed that the current feeling is that DVR-MS is the mux of choice. when it was running on my system it didnt seem to write any time code information into the recorded file, consequently i couldnt forward wind or skip backwards using my media player. Installing the cyberlink thmpgmux solved the problem and although its early days ive had no problems at all with quality or skipping. ive also found the mpeg2 files much easier to deal with and process.

has anyone else had problems with DVR-MS not recording time codes ?

i would just like to thank the develpoers of GBPVR for their work so far. Very well done !! I am trying to think of a piece of software ive loaded in the last 12 months thats been this good and i cant. it fitted my needs so completely, worked 'out of the box' and when i did find a glitch the quality of the information in the forum was excellent and solved my problem. Everything is now very rosy in my garden thanks to you guys.

I wonder if anyone could help me with this. When I click on Live TV, I get the message "No channels have been set up. Please run the configuration utility etc". Well, I have run the configuration utility, numerous times. I'm using ZapToIt and information appears to be downloaded correctly.

BTW, I'm using Vista.

Also, I'm using a Hauppauge 150 capture card, but the configuration utility only seems to have "none", "PVR 350" and "Sigma Designs" as selections in the Hardware Decoder dropdown box.

Any help would be appreciated.
