I've had this card for a few days and recently began to figure out just how shoddy the supplied instruction manual is in regards to anything outside of simple installation, very little info on cabling etc. Anyhow when it comes to actually hooking this thing up to the TV where it is going to reside I was wondering if someone could give me a simple explanation as to exactly what connects to what. The system it resides in has a 7600GT OC vidcard with DVI sVHS and SVG hookups. The PVR is the 350 stated above, I think where I'm coming unstuck is the fact that the 350 has more than one output. The TV has a couple of SVHS inputs and a couple of composite inputs (yellow red and white). The signal is received from a Sat box. The system will be used exclusively for TV recording and not in conjunction with a computer monitor.
A simple explanation or a link to a good guide would sure be appreciated. I have decided after doing a bit of reading that GBPVR is more suited to my needs and looks easier than the supplied software that came with the card and its documentaion is far from adequate as well.

Hey sub, is there a way I can get rid of the On Screen Display when I pause a recording? I use the hauppauge 45 button remote and I've tried pushing exit, and all the color buttons but the OSD still remains.

Minor niggle - whilst searching for the reason for a failed recording, I noticed the time format in recording services log had changed form 24hr format to 12hr format - making things less easy to find.

When watching live TV, I press my Guide button and the channels and shows pop up. However, all channels are displayed in the guide data, even though I deselected many channels via the config app. The TV Listings plugin filters the channels that are deseleced.

1) Ability to specify default sort mode in skin.xml (ctrl-g toggles it)
2) ^b shows filename. When using GB-PVR's native Recordings menu item to play a recording, ^b shows the show name and episode data.

I just reinstalled GBPVR and I can see my old recordings but I can't play them, only delete them. I tried reimporting the recordingdump file but that didn't work. What do I do to play them again?

currently on the config menu you can add multiple capture sources

once you config a source the only way to disable it is to delete it.

it would be nice to be able to enable or disable each source without deleting setup/source files.(ie check box for each source) would help with problem solving when setting up multiple tuners

thanks

I know back 2 back recordings are possible even with paddings without using more than 1 tuner since GBPVR overrides the padding and moves on to create the next recording.

I wish that it could detect if an available tuner is present and prioritizing the additional available tuner and transfer the next recording to that tuner without overriding the 1st recording.

If the prior is not possible I also wish that padding override be done with the pre-padding of the second recording instead of the post-padding of the first recording. i have had several recordings that have the last portion of the show recorded on the second recording. I think people wouldn't mind losing a portion of the start as opposed to losing the climax and ending.

I noticed that the newer versions consumes a lot more memory than previous versions. Before Net 1.1 versions would only consume less than 100MB mem or would average around 78MB. Now I see that usage reaching 167M or more. I also noticed that when it reaches beyond 150MB, connection is harder or would disconnect. I also noticed that the interface is more sluggish than with previous versions.

I normally had to end the MVP server process from the Task Manager or restart the whole recording service.

Why does it grow during usage? Why the high memory usage as well. Am using basic Blue, the extra plugins that i use are XRecord, VA Panel, Weather, Calculator, Solitaire which I have been using pre-Net 2.0 versions.

Thanks.

Am also attaching screen caps of task manager after a restart of the service and when it reaches a high mem usage and is unusable.

I've been looking at mvp,I really don't know the pros and cons. I would be very intersted in some advice.We now have high speed internet and it will that connection be a problem? Or do I just need a router.
Thanks in advance
