Anyone know if myprograms 3.0b1 works iwth .995? When I upgrade shoudl I save all my settings or will .995 copy over the old settings for my plugins?

Hi All,

I have been reading for a while and cant seem to find an answer to my question. Maybe this needs to go into hardware?

I have finally configured GBPVR with basic functionality and live TV works a treat but when I go into Radio and start a scan, all I can hear is the Audio from Live TV as it scans and and no Radio. In fact it dosent detect any radio channels.

Any ideas???

Thanks guys

Here's the deal, my current PVR is aging and doesn't work so well anymore so I'm upgrading. Please post what codecs, drivers, flaws in my logic, etc on the following config:

1) Windows XP SP2

2) DX9C (should I replace the quartz.dll like I have in my current system or is this not an issue with faster hardware?)

3) .Net 2.0 (anything special here?)

4) new MSI K8NGLM-FID (nVidia 6150 chipset... people on AVS forums seem to think it's a hot item when on latest BIOS -- my HTPC case dictates an mATX. I actually bought this board before they went out of stock, so it's waiting for a home. I built a machine with the same board at work and it's been extremely stable and problem free, but I'm willing to get something else if it won't work well as a PVR. Via, Uli, Ati chipset? needs to be s939 and mATX)

5) new 1GB (2x 512MB) Corsair memory

6) existing Athlon64 3700+ (s939)

7) Latest nForce chipset drivers (ok?)

8) new WD 250GB SATA HDD (any lingering issues with SATA causing stutters? I have an existing 250GB WD IDE drive I could substitute)

9) existing two Haup PVR 150s (one has FM tuner, the other doesn't -- Not currently on the latest drivers because of fears of the timesync issue... thoughts on this?)

10) Will be using integrated sound and video since onboard has SPDIF, component, and DVI outputs. I probably won't use the system for playing DVDs, so sound quality isn't all as important as video quality for standard TV viewing.

11) USB-UIRT -- ugg... Sub seems to think this is the source of my problems with the current setup (see sig). I'm currently on the latest driver and still having intermittant issues. Is there a better driver to use? No i can't not use it unless Dish Networks has a receiver I could buy that connects via serial or USB...

12) Codecs -- I've been using Intervideo, but have recently been told it's garabage even tho video and sound quality has been fine for me. Should I shell out some $$$ for the Purevideo? I read the review of the Ati vs nVidia on Tom's HW... still fuzzy on whether the onboard video would benefit or ultimately be hurt by it. Any other codec recommendations from someone that's used Intervideo and switched?

If you're not using something, please don't recommend it. I don't want "it should work" responses. I want tried and true recommendations.

I have a my system running through a 128MB GeForce FX 5500 (PNY or Verto, I think, whatever Staples usually carries). The TV-out is S-Video, running directly to the TV.

I have noticed that when I leave the menu on a static screen for any length of time, discolorations appear on the screen. If a video or live TV is playing, it's fine, but if you are on the main GBPVR menu, and especially at the Windows desktop, these discolored blotches start to appear.

Changing to video or turning off the TV will clear these up, but I am worried that this is going to damage my TV.

Any ideas on the cause of this sort of thing? Bad SVideo cable? The Video card itself? Some obscure refresh rate setting?

I was thinking of hunting down a card with composite out so I could run the video signal through the receiver. I had an Svideo to composite adapter, but the output was way too dark.

Im not sure what would cause this, and maybe im being a bit to critical, but when i watch live TV or a recorded show some of the dark parts of a show/movie are quite dark. I can see them pretty well, but they look just a tad dark.

I've tried this on a LCD monitor and my 42" plasma and still get the same results

Is there a setting to fix this GBPVR or someother place?

Im using 1 svideo connection and the other is coax.

thanks

Hi, I was wondering if you could import Movie data base listing from a software based Movie library. There are software that will find and list your
movies can you import it into the GBPVR video Library. I guess i am looking for a replacement for my videos as i have most in ISO and like that it shows the art and other info. and thought i can add a pic to the cover of the dvd maybe i could add information to it also. I Know i can use Video Archive but am not sure i want to convert the DVDs to Mpeg and it wll get the cover art and such. I thought i could add more details to the Video Library. Is it Possible. Thanks Jh61408

I'm sure it's a pebkac, I configured 2 tuners (PVR-500) so at the moment I can watch TV and record a show. is it possible to set itup to record two shows at the same time?

help is appreciated!
thanks for this great app (besides the freezing on the client side )

I Can stream MP3s from my music library no problem but WMAs will not stream at all. I'm using VLC at the client end to play the music. Any Ideas?

Haup 500 and Zapit . But missing channels. Is there a way to manually add channels? Can it be that I choose digital comcast and the tuner is manual?

Missing some of the channels in the line-up. But when i go to accessory for tuning, channels are there.

Someone help?

I don't seem to be able to find anyone in the UK selling these, I'm guessing because it only supports NTSC. Does anyone know if there's a PAL version coming?

Can I just capture via svideo regardless or does would it simply not work?
