System specs:
Athlon 64 3500+
ASUS A8V-E Deluxe motherboard
1G DDR RAM, 80GB IDE, 160GB SATA
ATI X700 PCIe graphics card
Powercolor PCIe theater 550 pro TV tuner card

LiveTV no longer displays anything but a blank screen (playing back a previously recorded MPEG file works fine). I think the problem started when I upgraded to GBPVR09905 and/or ATI catalyst driver version 7.1. I was able to watch LiveTV for a while then the screen would just freeze. When I stop GBPVR and start it again, I'd get the "Error: Object reference not set....." message but if I restarted the computer that would allow me to watch TV for while until the next freeze.
Because of another sound problem I was having, I re-installed windows from scratch, with the latest programs and drivers. This time LiveTV would freeze after the 1st or 2nd frame and GBPVR would stop responding (tried different MPEG decoders, Cyberlink PDVD6, Dscalar, but same result). When I tried Cyberlink PDVD7 MPEG-2 decoder, no frames showed up, the screen was blank from the get go and GBPVR did not freeze up this time, but when I viewed lastgraph with graphedit there was no decoder after the MPEG-2 Demultiplexer (could this mean the MPEG decoders are the problem?). Right now I have the version 6.5 drivers (did not install catalyst control center) for my display adapter (X700) and the 7.1 version for my theater 550 pro Tuner card. I tried using older version of the TV tuner driver but kept getting "Failed to find TV Tuner device" type of messages. Even tried previous versions of GBPVR and same result. Now, only when I install the latest driver does the TV tuner card gets recognized and the channels even show up OK for a while when I use tuning assistant, but only for a few channels then it freezes and every channel after that get 'found'.
I've tried numerous things and can't get it to work again, pleeesse help. Also, I have Grisoft AVG antivirus and antispyware running, along with Zonealarm. Only the antispyware is new. Hope this description of my problem is enough. hope you'll had a great weekend!

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has gotten a winfast pvr 2000 to work with vista. I have been reading here in the forums that this card works with gb-pvr, though it gb does not seem to be able to detect my card in the config menu. Are there any tricks or tips you guys can suggest.

I used the Tweak tool to try and adjust the brightness on my PVR500 recordings (they were always a bit dark). I don't want to use the tool again as it messes up my PVR350 (even when I only change settings for the 500).

Problem is, I managed to set one of the 500 tuners too bright - outdoor daylight scenes are like 'white-out'. I used HCWCLEAR (remove everything mode) and re-installed all drivers but that one tuner is still too bright.

Are the settings held in the registry? I would've thought HCWCLEAR would have cleared those if that was the case. Or are they held on the card? Would a full power down (disconnect mains lead etc.) clear back to factory defaults?

Cheers,
Brian

Nothing else does. But heres the issue. installs without any indication of trouble. the config goes fairly smoothly, to include the epg channel download. However, the application itself isn't talking to the config. it keeps telling me that no epg is setup. any clues?

I get the splash screen saying initializing then nothing. I've already opened 7967 on the windows firewall on both server and client.

I found one mention of a Sirius plugin. Is there anyone out there really working on it? Wish I had the knowledge to work on it, I'd be on it. I've had fun playing with everyones hard work on the other projects. Thanks to all who spend their time on this sort of thing.

Hi Martin,

not sure if this is a bug or not yet but twice now the audio on my mvp has been muted if I am playing music with ML2 but the gbpvr server crashes or is rebooted without stopping the MVP first, when I restart the server then the audio on the MVP seems to be muted, power cycling the mvp cures the problem.

As I said I am not certain about this and have not deliberately tested it, but it as happened twice now

I had a hard time navigating the wiki the first few times I visited. I hope I didn't step on any toes (changes can always be undone), but I felt that there the logical organization of some of the information could be improved.

The most noteable changes are:
* The sidebar - The second grouping of links started with "Contents". It seemed this contained all the Manual stuff, so I changed it to "Manual" and moved the "Contents" to the upper grouping.

* Menu groups - One main thing about the wiki is that there are places where the same information is organized differently. E.g., the sidebar menus open to show some items in a groups, yet if you go to the overview page for that group, these same lists were different! This makes the site difficult to navigate and hard to maintain as you have to try to keep these all in sync. It seems to make more sense to keep the sidebar links as quick navigation aids that take you to an overview page that is the one place the information is outlined. I started to do this for the Manual group - take a look and see if it makes sense.

* Manual Contents - Some of the introductory info seemed like it belonged in the ReadMeFirst page.

* ReadMeFirst is a good place to introduce the wiki, and now reflects that.

Let me know if this looks ok, or is not to anyone's liking.

When I play live video from a client the picture and sound both stuter during play back. Everything works but it stuters. Any suggestions.

I have two tuners. 150 and 150mce

I'm recording Smallville from 9-10
and another Smallville from 10-11.
Both of these are recurring season recordings.

I tried to add recording (for my wife) the Oscars from 7:30-10:30
and got a recording conflict message. That doesn't seem like a conflict for a two tuner system.

I deleted one of the Smallvilles, added the Oscars, and added the deleted Smallville back in and got no conflicts.
Is this expected?
