Well I should have read more, should have known better. Should have had more patience...

I would have really liked to help come up with a configuration for the Analog side of the HVR-950...

1st, I think I would have been better off with the HVR-1600, but the stores here are only selling 950s and I wanted to be able to take it back if unhappy.

Biggest thing I missed was that the 950 doesn't have a Hardware MPG encoder. Yeah, you can use SoftPVR, if I could even get that working... But I think 'why make a CPU work so hard when you can offload the task to a Card'...


But the Digital side, which was supposed to be easier stopped me in my tracks...

There was such different information on ATSC antenna and QAM conections, and whether there were any HD channels turned up in my area...

Then there was the size of the antenna... Well, I don't think I'm ready for HD yet. I wanted to be up front with helping support it, but it didn't work out for me... Maybe I'll get a HVR 1600, maybe not...

Now, if someone wanted to still take a crack at getting me going,.. I'd sit in the passenger seat and go for a ride. But I ain't driving...

So far, no fun... :mad:

I am getting sql errors whenever I try to go into the config app. I've also noticed that my remote is no longer responding after about 10 minutes into a file. Correction-it works, but keystrokes are delayed and don't take place until a minute later, then they all happen at once.

Below is a error in the GBPVR.exe.log file. Its a SQL error also (if this helps.)

When I try to access EWA using my Verizone LG Env phone, the login page loads fine, but when I click on login, after entering username and password, I get an error 500 malformed URL.

Any suggestions?

I used a GeForce7300GS. I say used because it just died. Now I have a choice of buying the same thing or upgrading to a better one.

When watching tv (37" lcd) I notice that there's a bit of lag. If i'm watching an interview and the person is slowly nodding their head I can see that their face slightly distorts then cathches up. Will a better video card cure this?

Not sure if it matters but I use the Nero decoder because the nVidia one puts everything recorded in 4:3 and I can't make it not do that. I presume it doesn't use hardware acceleration.... if that makes a diff.

Can anyone tell me if the ir receiver that comes with the microsoft remote can be used with a different remote control to get commands into your PC?
Thanks

Dear Sub

Hi, hope you are well? Just upgraded from version 0.99.05 (The previous version) to 0.99.12.

I appear to have lost the 'Auto-ConvertDVR-MS recordings to' function! This worked fine prior to the upgrade, (Converting to MPEG-2) but now nothing seems to happen! There have been no other changes to my system.

I cannot post any logs at present because I have 'Ghosted' my system back to the earlier version (To maintain functionality).

ATI MPEG Mux is installed, as are Cyberlink and Intervideo.

Is there a 'quick fix', or shall I wait and see if another upgrade fixes this?

Thanks

Hi,
I'm a newbie to all things PVR and am currently spec'ing out a box to build my own.
I understand that GB-PVR can accommodate a DVB-S card, but my question is can in handle encrypted channels or just the FTA ones? Is there anybody in the UK currently using GB-PVR with a satellite? And if so, are the any pitfalls that I should be aware of?
Any support is much appreciated. Keep up the great work.

Had a quick search and couldn't see anything definite, but I'm setting up my PVR-150 to record from Sky and I was wondering about cables. Sky doesn't seem to output S-video over scart, so is it worth going for something like this:

Linky which doesn't seem to exist anymore

or just go for a scart->svideo cable that will output a composite svideo signal.

I'm trying to keep the quality as high as possible as the TV is bad enough for artifacts as it is!

Thanks!

I read the wiki and it wasn't all that helpful : (

Here's what I'm working with:

Hauppauge PVR-150 w/ Hauppauge Remote
Hauppauge WinTV IR Blaster


I'm trying to set up the IR blaster and I have no idea how to get it working. I've run the blaster config file in the Hauppauge folder, and I can get my set top box to change channels and turn on off etc. What I can't get it to do is interface with GBPVR. Maybe the Hauppauge IR software is only supposed to work on WinTV?

Here's what I've done:
Start Config - Capture Sources Tab - Added a channel called HBO - Recorning Source set to Direct Plugin, EPG Source on "none", and .exe Changer Plugin selected - Settings on Plugin point to the IR.exe (program files\WinTV\IR.exe), in the parameters box it says "{channel} 550"


When I start GB-PVR, I can see channel 550 in my TV Guide. When I select that channel, the IR doesn't change my set top box to channel 550 though. I must be missing something.

Any input?

Maybe I should use a freeware IR software. If that's the case, please let me know of a good one.

Sub,
can you tell me why when I try and configure my ATI TV wonder elite card as a capture source it always tells me that the drivers for this device are not installed. I have loaded the drivers and when I go to capture sources and click only show cards I have installed on this machine it shows up, but will not allow me to save it as its on capture source. Thanks
