I have an external tuner that will tune to atsc channels. I have s-video out from the tuner going into my Emuzed MAUI-IIIg card. This works well, but I'm having trouble setting up the ir blaster.

I have an rs-232 blaster (http://www.irblaster.info/ they cost $12) - that I finally got working with winlirc and digits.exe(thanks to the forums! , however, I need to be able to send sub-channels via the .exe Changer Plugin. (ie: 4-1) I can do this fine on the command line, but haven't figured out how to get GBPVR to recognize 4-1 as a channel.

I am using zap2it, and have it config'd for the digital channels. When GBPVR lists them, it uses the major channel number (ie: 4 instead of 4-1). I tried changing it in the Source channel in the recording source and also in the Channels tab. From what I can guess, the DB field is set to be a number field.

Update: As I was writing this I figured out a workaround. I noticed that the channels that I was wanting to use didn't have a '9' in them, so in my winlirc remote config file, I deleted the code for 9, and changed the 'dash' code to '9'. Then I changed the Source Channel to be 491. What ends up happening is that GBPVR sends the channel 491 to digits.exe, which telnets to the winlirc server (on the local box) and sends 491. Winlirc will then send 4-1 to the ir blaster.

I did this with all of my channels and it works like a champ!

I have just built a dedicated machine with a Nova-t 500 dual digital tuner. When I programme a recording from the EPG it is highlighted "RED" but on the GBPVR main menu the "Next Recording" status line says (none scheduled). The recording happens ok and during recording the status correctly shows its recording on the menu screen.

If I programme another recording to occur at the same time as the first, the "Next Recording" status changes to alternatively show each of the programmed recordings.

It's as if the "Next Recording" status doesn't pick up until both tuners are programmed for use.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Having just discovered the Webcams plugin I'm after some interesting webcams to use it with.

I have a Pinnacle PCTV Pro USB tv tuner that works well, yet I am sick of the software that came with it. I found this gbpvr and liked the look of it. But so far I have yet to be able to get the software to use my tuner. I tried to follow the instructions to add a new tuner, but it got lost in translation. I was wondering if anyone was able to add the tuner to their .ini file and wouldn't mind sharing, or someone taking the time to walk me through the process.

Thanks in advance.

When i install GB-PVR on my win2k server i get this error:

At this point I'm not sure if this problem is with gbpvr or with the Usb-uirt or my hardware.......I just don't know......but anyway.....

the other day it all started, I was watching tv and I noticed that when I change a channel both stb change, I'm using A Usb-uirt and I have gbpvr set to use the dish network receiver.dat for my haup 150 and I made dish network receiver z2.dat for my haup 350, and in the z2.dat I have..........
0 z20000 004a
1 z20000 004a and so on

but both receivers change at the same time, I have even erased all the contents of both .dat files and saved them empty and it acts the same way....

I have the receiver.dat file blast the room to change the stb on and 150 and receiver z2.dat file blast through a ir blaster wire on the stb on the 350, there is NO bleed through with the wire one, believe me, it is sealed!!

The stb on the 150 is using composite video and the stb on the 350 is using an S-video input......

I've tried driver reinstallation, complete hardware removal and reinstallation, reinstalled gbpvr, but with no luck, maybe its a simple fix that I'm just not seeing.....I have no idea......like I said, this system worked just fine for a long time until yesterday.....

any help please!!!!! :confused: :eek: :confused:

My TimeWarner PVR has the ability to only record first runs of a program no matter what time it is on for a particular channel. This would be a VERY nice feature for GBPVR (if Zap2It listings give this info!)

Hey everyone, I have updated the ProgramImageTool on the wiki to a 1.5 release.

Changes include:
Cleaner, more efficient code.

I also added a few commandline arguments that can be passed in.
You can use them as follows:

To download images for all unique shows in your epg simply run as 'ProgramImageTool.exe'

To download images for certain shows run as 'ProgramImageTool.exe /Show "show name"'
This can also be added to your PostProcessing.bat file to load images for shows that have just been recorded

To download images for all shows in your recordings directory run as 'ProgramImageTool.exe /Recordings'
This will search all the folders in your Recordings directory and download images for those.

Please post any questions regarding this new release here.

Hi All,

got gbpvr running on my hvr 1300 and got the channels set up with dvb epg.

My problem is I cannot get a channel number instead I have a series of numbers
for example

Channel name BBC ONE
Enabled

Tuning request (T:C48,690000,0,8~NID:1230)

If I click on Tuning request the numbers disapear and BBC ONE appears. When I click on the next one down the numbers re appear. How can I get a specific channel number?
