Hi,
I am new here and I want to check out this great looking peace of software, but I have trouble to get GBPVR 09905 to work with my Hauppauge Nova-s-plus. On channel scan there no channels are found. If I start ProgDVB before and select a channel, the closing ProgDVB and start channel scan in GBPVR then it finds the channels of this transponder on each scanned transponder.

ProgDVB and WintTV2000 are working fine with the card, they find all the channels and channel switching is not a problem.

The GBPV-System is clean installed, there are no additional plugins installed.

I am using 88x_2_117_24275_whql driver for the Hauppauge cards.

My system:
ASUS P5B Deluxe
Intel C2D
1Gb Ram DDR2-800
250 GB Samsung
Nvidia Geforce 7600GS
2 x Nova-s-plus
WinXP SP2

Best regards,

Thomas

I have been having problems on and off with stopping recordings and playing TV while recording. I currently have 7600 listed in my sig but am going to up grade. Apparently ATI cards work better with GBPVR and I need suggestions as to the best card. Although I'd like to say money is not an issue, some of the prices are way out of my range. I am biting the bullet and willing to spend what ever it takes to resolve my issues if need be. I don't have HiDef yet but my get it within the next year so again... ATI would be best but what is a great card?
Thanks

Hi, attached is a screen shot and logs of the error i am getting.

The error occurs when I turn off the "live preview mode" check box in the misc tab in config.

When I turn the live preview on, the error goes away, but then live tv does not work at all.

Any Solutions? Thanks (V 0.99.5)

During the past month, we've had two power outages here in upstate New York. On both occasions, I had some trouble getting my MVP to connect when the power came back on. I was surprised to see the new "MVP Preferred Service" screen. I checked "rescan" and eventually got connected. Trouble is, the picture was absolutely terrible, to the point of being unwatchable. Even the menu was dark and blurry. I fiddled with it for a few days by rebooting the MVP and stopping & restarting the recording service. Eventually it returned to normal, but I don't know what I did that brought it back. Anyone else have this happen to them? If so, is there a quick fix?

I'm hoping some of you skinning guru's out there can answer this for me.

Is it possible in TV to have a different font color for a hightlighted show as opposed to not being highlighted, much like the selected button text and the normal button text.

it looks to me like that is hard coded and you can change the color for all or none.

TextStyle name="Guide"

is the only selection i can find that changes the color in the guide body. Is there no guide normal/guide selected kind of thing that can be done?

Hi,

I am new to the tv on the pc thing. i have an HP media center that is running vista rc1 on it. i have a conexant blackbird tuner card. i ran GB-PVR, downloaded the guide, ran the tuning assistant and all that. during the tuning assistant, it found all my channels. when i try to watch live tv though, it only shows a black screen. i had windvr on there and i could watch the channels so i know the tuner card is working.

any ideas......would really like to get this working.

thanks,

jamie

Hey all-

I'm looking for a better remote to increase the WAF.

We are currently using the Hauppauge one that came with the PVR150. But it takes 3 remotes to do anything and my wife gets frustrated trying to set everything correctly.

Also, would prefer a RF remote or one with IR that works around corners .

Any suggestions? I was looking at the Logitech 550 and 880, but can't really tell if they perform well enough for a HTPC setup.

Thanks!

I remember using a dos/cmd program that would check your signal but i lost the program when i reinstalled my PC so i was wondering if there was anyone who knew the link for it please.
It isnt the ScanchannelBDA by the way.

Many thanks in advance.
