Hi, i had a few questions. I have GBPVR 0.99.5 up and running just fine. I currently have 2 TV Tuners, a WinTV PVR 150 MCE and a WinTV PVR 350 using the 45 button Hauppauge remote through the 350 card. Currently the 150 is disabled in deivce manager and i'm using direct access to the remote software and it works fine. Everytime i enable the 150 card, the remote ceases to work. In the config, i have to change the 350 so that it's the second card. Any ideas what would be causing my remote not to work? I'd like to be able to use both cards and the remote if possible. I was forced to give away my MCE remote, or else i would be using that one.
Also, for christmas, i got a new 19" widescreen LCD PC monitor. Everytime i start up Live TV in fullscreen mode, the image is stretched to fit widescreen. I'm currently using Nvidia's PureVideo decoder. Is there any way to set it so that normal TV will displayed in the 4x3 format, but widescreen content like DVDs will still be widescreen?
Lastly, i seem to have an issue with channel changing. After i change the channel about 4 or 5 times in Live TV, the video develops a small pause every 5 seconds. The audio runs smoothly, but the video will freeze up for a moment, then get back in sync with the audio, then freeze up afer about 5 seconds, then get back in sync and repeats. If i exit Live TV and then go back to the same channel, the problem is gone, until i change the channel a few more times. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch yall
I'm trying to view live tv - using Hauppage 350. It says playing back on TV Out. I don't have anything connected to TV Out, I want to view it on the computer monitor. Any idea how to change that setting? I can't find anything. Thanks.
I need help!
Does anyone know what selection I should use in the drop down for my ATI Radion All-In-Wonder 7800 video card? Is it possible to use anything there at all, or am I stuck? Hoping one of the other ATI models listed might somehow work.
Thanks!
I am getting appalling quality when recording to the PC from my Sony Video 8 Camcorder.
The scenes when played back have 'horizontal break ups' on faster scenes, in fact-anything that is faster then walk speed.
It is the same with Pinnacle Studio and Ulead software. I have installed the latest Hauppauge drivers and it is still the same
a Clip is (hopefully) here for examination. It is MPEG2, best DVD quality and lasts 12 seconds
If I'm playing UT2004 or BFvietnam (presumably others, but these are the only two tested) and a scheduled recording begins in GBPVR, the kb freezes up and I can't control anything in game. I cant hit CTRL ALT DEL, I cant turn the CAPS light on/off, nothing responds. I have a usb kb sitting nearby and if I plug it in, i regain control with the new kb. Whats wild is if I quit the game, remove the usb kb, then restart the game (leaving GBPVR recording in the background) then the same thing happens. Mouse is OK the whole time... just kb locks up... and only IN the game. If I stay on the desktop or in internet explorer for example, kb is fine... I have a regular ps/2 kb, though it does have some extra media buttons on it... I could test another simpler kb...
I suppose it may be happening in other apps, will have to test. I thought maybe BLINKY was causing it with the scroll lock light... so I uninstalled that plugin but still occurs.
We have young kids and have transfered all our DVDs to DIVX files which reside on the PVR computer in the video library. This saves the DVDs getting scratched, covered in jam, placed in the wrong folder etc. The kids then access GB-PVR themselves and watch what they will.
If GB-PVR tracked "Play Count" and "Last Played" for videos, I could remove those videos which are not being watched and free up space for others.

There was a test of GB-PVR in a PC magazine (Finnish one) a while ago. The test also had 3 other Windows and 2 other Linux "Media Center" apps.
Anyway, the test results said that there were problems with GB-PVR.
They had 2 different tv cards(Nebula DigiTV pci and Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1300) and had to change 5 different files and modify Windows' registry. And it wasn't as good as the other "Media Center" apps. Wonder why they had to do that? I have GB-PVR on two different computers, other one's laptop with DVB-T Usb stick. Only change I had to do was with the stick, and at first I had problems finding the filters' names. (Why didn't I read the Wiki first =)) So I had to change only one file, then it worked fine. I'd think they are better with computers than I am, right?. But they have also used an older version, 0.97.07, so it was probably worse than this version. What are your opinions about this?
