Upgraded my Dell2400 from a 17" CRT to a 22" widescreen LCD and GBPVR can no longer display my recordings. Uninstalled GBPVR then installed the latest v0.99.5 and still no success.

Changed back to the 17" CRT monitor re-installed again and all is well.

How can I use my 22" with GBPVR?

I'm looking for a decent Freeview tuner after an unfortunate run-in with an eBay Freeview USB stick over Christmas.

The Hauppauge Nova-T PCI looks reasonable, and although the reviews and opinions of it aren't unanimous, there seems to be enough of them out there working, and the price is right.

My question is.... is there any performance (or other) advantage to using a PCI card rather than a USB box? I've got a spare PCI slot in my computer (as well as 2 spare PCI-E, but can't find any reasonably priced PCI-E tuner cards) and several spare USB 2.0 sockes, so fitting isn't an issue. I also don't have a laptop (yet!) so portability isn't a high priority either.

Is there another similarly priced card that is a better bet?

Cheers

I have a Hauppauge 150 with the Hauppauge remote and a Directv STB. It's the brand new DTV box (D11-500.) In the WinTV remote settings I have it set to use remote code "125." Everything works great with the exception of trying to go to a channel in which ZERO is the middle number. i.e.- Channel 308. I can go to 380 just fine, but when trying to go to 308, the only thing the receiver picks up is the 3 and the 8, therefore, it attempts to go to channel 38 instead of 308. I've tried messing with all of the remote delays, with no luck. Has anyone else experienced this? Can someone post what all of their button delays are set to in order to get your DirecTV box working.

I changed the recordings directory, to a network shared disk.
Is that possible ? I get än "äccess denied" error.
Or is there a problem with the share that I should dig into.
It works fine with a local disk.

this is in the log:

I am very new at this and am considering getting a Happauge MediaMVP, probably wired, not convinced wireless is good enough quality especially for video.

I downloaded GB-PVR and it looks awesome. Currently have Hauppauge PVR150MCE that came with MCE remote and blaster. However, I cannot seem to get the blaster to work with my sat stb with GB-PVR, however, it works with MCE, so it's not the blaster hardware that is the problem. I selected MCE 2005 blaster in setup and did read in the wiki about a program called HIP. Before I continue trying to figure HIP out, is this definitly required? Should the blaster work without it? What am I missing?

Are there any earlier versions of this software that did not require the .NET Framework?

Thanks in advance for not asking why.

Hi,

I`ve been messing around with GBPVR for a few weeks now, and have read
lots of posts on these forums about loads of different aspects of the software.

One of the major issues is the use of different types of Mux`s when setting
GBPVR up, and I`ve tried lots of different Cyberlink ones, but kept reading
that the elusive 5.0.1307 Mux was quite a good one, but couldn`t find
a source.

I have spent a few days looking for a source of the Mux, especially a source
that is legal and free.

Anyhow, it looks like the MediaPortal 0.2.2 setup installation installs version
5.0.1307 of the Cyberlink Mux into your \Windows\System32\ folder as part
of it`s normal setup.

I thought I`d let people know that the setup file for MediaPortal 0.2.2 can
be found here:-

http://www.team-mediaportal.com/

I hope I`m not breaking any rules by posting this, and I`ve had a good think
about it and can`t see why I couldn`t post the link. It`s a free piece of
software that happens to contain the Mux we may be looking for, so don`t
see any problems. Please Sub, accept my apologies if this isn`t the case.

I`ve not used the Mux for long, so can`t comment on it`s usefullness yet,
but I`ll be doing some recording over the weekend with it, and I`ll report back
when I have some views. If anyone uses the Mux, could you please do the
same on this thread, and maybe we can build a picture up of it`s usefullness
or otherwise.

Cheers,

Highlander

I have two tuners in two separate cards. One is an mce 150, and the other a pvr 150.
Call these tuner 0 and tuner 1. I have a composite input setup on the card that tuner 0 is on. This adds a third source called composite.
When I record on composite and try to watch live tv, I get a message stating no other tuner is available to watch live tv. Shouldn't I still have a tuner available?

I've discovered this curious site... why post it here?... well.. I live in south Madrid (Spain), and if I dig very very deep, I will stop in... New Zealand! exactly here: (see image attached)

I remembered that Sub and lot of users of GBPVR are from that country... so...

¡Hola a todos desde España, desde el otro lado del mundo! (hi all from Spain, on the other side of the world!)

where is your 'other side'?

I have a Theater 550 card with the built in mpeg2 encoder, but when GBPVR is recording it uses an unexpected amount of resources.

Does GBPVR use the internal encoder, or is the encoder wasted with this software?
