First off - being totally new to the PVR thing, I must say this rocks. Excellent software and support. Better than some of the comercial pieces I tried first.
I have a question that I hoping someone hear can help with. It has little to nothing to do with the software I believe but I bet someone here has expirience with this - probably many people.
In the lower frequencies - meaning channels 02-40 the picture quality while watching live TV is fine, as we progress further up the picture gets worse and worse. It looks like heavy interference or detuning. The TV that is on the same source line is fine. I heavy pretty good qaulity splitters and cable so I don't suspect that it is them that is the problem. Just to prove this I am going to connect the TV Tuner card directly to the single input cable line in the house.
The tuner card is a Conextant Blackbird, the PC is an AMD Opteron Dual Core 1212 with a Foxconn 8800GTS Nvidia card (PCX16). 2 Gigs PC8000 ballistix on a DFI NF590 AM2 Motherboard. I doubt the hardware is the problem - although the tuner card is cheap and was given to me. The odd thing is the TV is fine it's only the PC that has this problem.
Thanks in advance and for a great piece of software and support!
I searched the forum and couldn't find anything specific to this. Apologies if I missed it.
I'm recovering from an enormous electric bill this past month, and am realizing it's likely due to the PC being on 24x7. So I'd like to take advantage of GBPVR's ability to wake from standby to record.
I understand that while recording, GBPVR will prevent Windows from going to idle standby.
My question is if this is true for playing a video as well. For example, if I start a video, and then pause it, is there a chance I could come back to find the PC in standby mode?
What I'd like to do is set Windows to automatically go to standby after a short period of time (10 minutes, say.) But I don't want to do that if it means it'll go to standby in the middle of a show.
I inttended using this software on my new nova T-500 but after downloading I tried to install but it came up with an error message wouldn't even install. Sorry can remember what the message said. I am running XP Pro and already installed the net 2.0 thing.
Hello,
First, I'm novice in using GB-PVR (since yesterday) and it seems to be a very good software but I have some questions before using it definitively.
1) TV channels OK, etc........
but, I have a wide screen and I can't get a full screen TV 16:9 ;
I explain myselft : GB-PVR in full screen = 16:9
but the TV screen is in 4:3 ?
2) I'm using an MCE remote control,
working OK but for choosing channel it doesn't seem to work.
If I press on 1 for the first channel OK and on 2 after, nothing move ?
3) I tried to record TV,
no problem but for 20 mn recordings = more than 3 Go (a bit too much) ?
4) Something else, I would like to know :
Is it possible to add your own applications in GB-PVR and how ?
Something like in the main menu : Programs and subdivise in Applications, Games, Utilities.........
I mean something like when you click on a shortcut program on your desktop ?
Hello, I have problems to configurate my TV Card. I have a GENIUS TVGO DVB-T02Q USB card. and i don´t found how i can configure it. Can anyone to help me. Thanks.
When i try to play Xvid-files with overlay, GBPVR stops responding and the screen turns black.
With CTRL-ALT-DEL i can shut down GBPVR, and it doesn't say anything odd in the logs.
The Xvid-files plays fine(jerky) when using VMR9 and it plays fine in Mediaplayer.
Xvid-playing with overlay has worked!
Have any of you experienced something like above ?
