After installing my Sabrent TVFM tuner card including the plugin with a fresh WindowsXP SP2 OS and hookup my satellite receiver on the tuner card, I could succesfully see a livetv with GBPVR 99.05 on the pc itself.
Then I hookup my MediaMVP and started the MediaMVP server and could not get the LiveTV to work on the MVP. Turned firewall off still no success. When I press LiveTV on the MVP I get the message "No tuner available.......". I tried the recordertest.exe and can get a Preview but NO recording.
I wonder why the LiveTV is working on the pc and NOT on the MVP.
Am trying to do a channel scan using a KWorld 300U but it's caused GB-PVR to crash & reboot on two seperate machines. Is this likely to be down to faulty hardware or possibly the BDA driver itself?.
This particular DVB-T device is mean't to be supported by GB-PVR 'off-the-shelf' as bda.ini didn't need editing so at a guess someone's managed to get this to work. Just my luck that it's causing system crashes & reboots.

My new PVR is coming along nicely - 2 DVB-T tuners working fine, and now DVDs are playing faultlessly. My next step (and probably the reason I'm doing it!) is to get capturing from my STB. I'm in the UK with NTL digital cable with a Pace 4010 STB. The output from the STB is RGB via a SCART socket.
My question is - how should I capture it? Is the Hauppauge PVR 150 going to prduce a good widescreen image up to the quality of the STB when viewed directly or not? Are there any other capture cards that are better? I also need to get a remote and the Hauppauge or MCE ones that come with the 150 would appear well supported. I'll also get the serial IR blaster to control the box.
Hi,
So this is an awkward question, in fact I couldn't even think how to search for it in the forums. Everything is working great, this is more of a "consequence of my setup" problem.
I just got digital cable (using a Motorola 6200 STB with Hauppauge blaster changing channels on it), which appears to work fine. I moved the coax cable from my PVR-150 to the STB, and now use the inputs on the 150 instead, and it's all fine.
OK. The problem is, the thing could be recording just fine, but I don't know it, I come sit down to watch TV, start flipping channels on the STB, and I'm screwing up my currently recording program! The old way, I had everything going thru my MVP, and it would say "no tuners available" which was fine, so I'd just watch a recorded show or something.
Now though, I want the full 720p signal since it's available, so I go straight from the STB to TV, but there's no way to know if something is currently recording (except to go look thru my MVP each time, which is not a good solution), and so I'm at a loss.
Has anyone else come across this? I would think it would be a problem for anyone with a STB that wants to watch live TV without going thru GB-PVR. I have to leave my STB on all the time, so gb-pvr knows what state its in.
Hi all, I want to clear the epg cache and download anew because the channels are all messed up. Some don't have the listings and others have 3 stations on the same line with no listing. I have two separate accounts with Zap2it. One is basic lineup and the other is HD lineup. I have a Pvr150 and a Usbpvr2. I'd like to clear the listings and repopulate it without having to uninstal and reinstall GB-PVR.
So I am sitting here completely confused about HDTV and whether or not the "powers that be" have decided to continue to separate the video formats. Can anyone tell me whether there is a difference between 480p/720p/1080p signals in PAL countries and NTSC countries? Also, what the heck is 576p?
as per the title, I have installed xDVD using the latest installer, but my MVP has just the standard menus. I expected to see a DVD menu item appear.
The mvpdvd.dll file is in the plugins folder (E:\Program Files\gbpvr\Plugins), I've installed VLC to E:\Program Files\VLC.
what else do I have to do to just get it to be displayed. I have a DVD in my drive. The config files are:
E:\Program Files\gbpvr\skin\Blue\xdvd\settings.xml:
<settings>
<TempFile>J:\dvd.mpg</TempFile>
<PlayMode mode="SIZE" value="150"/>
<DVDDrive>d</DVDDrive>
<BaseFileDirectory>E:\</BaseFileDirectory>
<MountDVDDrive>g</MountDVDDrive>
<ForceMvpMode>true</ForceMvpMode>
</settings>
I dont seem to have anything under the PluginSettings section in my config.xml file however.
I have the:
playmvpdvd.bat
playmvpdvdfiles.bat
playmvpdvdiso.bat
files in my gbpvr prog files folder
Procmon even shows that the mvpdvd.dll file is being accessed by gbpvr.exe
Am using XMLTV RT EPG Grabber and want to add some radio stations from Bleb EPG Grabber but am not sure whether radio stations as well as TV channels work under the main GB-PVR application.
Can anyone confirm whether or not this should work please?.
I run GBPVR with a Hauppauge USB 2 PVR and I was wondering what I can do in terms of GBPVR settings to avoid the audio/video offset I'm getting when I watch Live TV. It either occurs immediatedly after migrating from the TV Guide to watch a live show and/or it happens over the course of time when watching Live TV (generally after a 10 to 15 minute interval). The offset starts out small but generally grows over the course of time. I do not suffer a offset when recording, just watching live tv.
I'm running the latest iteration of ffdshow for audio decoding and I'm running the latest iteration of nVidia Pure Video for video decoding.
Thanks in advance for any help you folks can give me.
I have my power settings to shut down the harddrive after a period of time and when I try to use MVP it seems to time out and look for the server, restart, I assume because the hard drive hasn't come back up to speed in time. When MVP finds the server again it seems to work fine because the harddive is running. Is there a way to extend the timeout for the MVP for another 10 seconds or so?
