I am looking at possibly buying a WinTV PVR USB2 and I noticed that in the config, when you go to select your capture card, there are 2 listings:
WinTV PVR2 USB2
WinTV PVR USB2
When I search Amazon for WinTV PVR, I found an old USB1.0 version, and a USB2.0 version. Within GBPVR config, what's the difference between the WinTV PVR2 USB2 and the WinTV PVR USB2?
Just recently had to use this tool to get all of my channels to come. I think it would be nice that if when you ran the TA there could be a batch mode and instead of a msgbox coming up you could just output the items to a text file. would save alot of copying by hand. Additionally if you wanted to take it further it may be possible to import this file to your channels grid on the capture device this also would seem like an easy thing to do.
@sub if TA is written in VBwhatever I can take a shot at making the output to text file changes if you would like.
I am going to get and additional card for my pvr.
1. because I want to record multiple shows
2. I cant watch tv during recording.
Is it not possible to watch the same thing as you are recording?
Anyway I have the retail version of the plain pvr150 card. I am looking at getting another card. There is a PVR150 274 out there that I am looking at it doesnt have the remote or input for remote so I was wondering how that would work? or if I get another retail version of the card how will that work? The infrared reader is plugged in directly to the card so if you have two do you need to plug in both IR readers? Likewise if I am using the 274 model and something is recording on the first card(retail) will GBPVR know that when I use the channel changer it means to make the channel move on the other card or the 274 card? If someone could line me out on how my setup would go that would be great? I am looking to get the 274 card because it is cheaper so hopefully someone has done this before and it could be posted. I searched but did not find answers to all of these questions. Thanks for the help.
When I play back TV recordings, my commercial skip works fine, however there are some programs that can't be controlled by commercial skip and I need to fast forward thru the commercials or station breaks. Since I upgraded to 99.5, I been unable to get the OSD for the controls (stop,ff,rw or pause), and there is no response when I use my ATI Remote control. Although the ATI Remote controls everything else on my gb-pvr without a problem.
Can someone tell me what I can do to regain my fast forward, rewind,pause and stop controls.
When I installed the plugin both XSearch and XRecord work fine but when I try and click on XGuide I get the following error.

I have tried to search the forum but have come up with nothing. Where is this file supposed to be and where can i get it or create it?
I've been using the EPG to schedule named recordings for a week; this week the channel I've been recording from (Fox, USA) is listing recordings early by an hour now. I checked my listings (Comcast) and I'm still listed correctly.
I've just built a new PC to run gbpvr on. It has a Hauppauge 350 and a GeForce 6200 AGP card with TV-out.
I've got everything working apart from playback. The gbpvr screen appears on my TV, and I can make recordings fine. But as soon as I try and play anything, the app freezes - its CPU usage shoots up and I have to kill it.
Bizarrely, if I RDP to the machine and run gbpvr, then the recorded program can be played on my local monitor over RDP. So I guess it's something to do with the graphics card/nVidia drivers/playback settings?
Is there some magic setting somewhere I might have missed?
So I'm just getting into HD video and absolutely love the quality, but I don't love the disk size. I just can't afford 20 GB per movie so I'm looking for a good way to convert them to XVid or other compressed, high-quality format.
While I've used a number of different tools to convert SD video to XVid and have settled on mencoder in those circumstances, I've not done anything with HD and don't have a good feel for what options would give the best results, as I'd like to preserve the full resolution and AC3 sound. I'm only interested in the highest quality since I'll only convert videos I intend to keep and watch again, so I'm not all that concerned about how long it takes. Even with SD video, testing different encoder options can take a long time just because of the processing time involved, so instead of spending an inordinate amount of time trying a bunch of different options I'm not all that familiar with and reviewing lousy results, I figured some of you have already done all of this and could offer some suggestions.
I'm open to any tools or even format if your experience shows something to be best. It doesn't have to be mencoder or XVid.
I'm from Scotland, so the channel 3 (ITV) station comes up as:
STV (was Grampian/Scottish)
This causes problems when I'm using the webEPG - specifically the TV icon doesn't show because the icon doesn't register. All the rest of the channels are fine.
So, I think that changing the name of the station in GBPVR might do that, but can anyone else something else that would work around this problem?
Using the numeric pad on the remote to manually enter the channel number, the number enter comes up in the upper-left corner. But it is so small it's almost hard to see, is there a setting in the config.xml or another way to increase the size of this?
