Hi, this is my first post to this forum, rather than waste anyone's time I have already searced for the answer, bt no luck so far. I have a Nova T-500 with latest version of media GBPVR set up on XP SP2 and all updates. I can grab info from RT database and get ticks shown on all selected channels on both tuners that are setup on emley moor. When I go into the main program and try to watch TV, the message no channels are available, go back to config. If I try to do channel mapping the PC just slows to a crawl, takes 2-3 mins to recognise Ctl Alt Del. I have left it running for several hours, but just shows initialising all the time. Wont recognise any muxs when scanned, have tried all the listed ones. Tried new install xp etc, but no change. I presume it is some incompatability with the card or BDA drivers. Any advice much appreciated.
I would like to be able to go up to get to the bottom of a list.
This would be especially nice in the recordings menu because I know shows like The Unit are at the bottom so if I could just click to go up and end up there rather than having to go all the way down that would be awesome.
From the looks of reading through the forum most of the PCI dual analog tuner cards are having issues:
1) Hauppauge PVR500 --> Way too many people issues with the new chipset
2) Avermedia Purity 500 --> Says that I should work due it being 2 250s, but in the forum came across someone who couldn't get it to work
3) NVIDIA Dual --> 1 person has it work and another has issues
I'm running with a single MSI 550PRO and really need to get more tuners since I've got the wife hooked on the GBPVR and now we have recording conflicts!
Buy.com has the Avermedia Purity 500 for $111 delivered, but I really cant find anything definitive that it does work...my plan was to get the NVIDIA after Fatawan's post, but someone else is having issues in the lower channels...
Any insight? I can add more MSI Pro's, but don't want to use up all my PCIs.
Sorry if there's already a threada for this - just did a search and couldn't find anything....
For some reason if I have a reoccurring scheduled event in Recordings that I want to modify from "this weekly timeslot" to say, "this daily timeslot", it doesn't let me scroll through the choices. I can change the padding, etc. but not the timeslot dialog? Any fix? Bug? User error?
I had the remote all dialed in, then I tried to add a plugin and it completely fubar'd the config.xml file. Backups didn't work, and I had to uninstall, delete the /gbpvr directory, and reinstall.
Now the remote's not working again, but this time it's a new problem. When I change channels, it changes both the STB channel (via the IR Blaster) as it should AND the TV Tuner card internal channel. The TV tuner should remain on Channel 3. It was working before, and I'm 99.9% positive that I set all the config options the same way. I've restarted the IR, triple-checked the IR blaster config settings, and tried it in Sage TV (works fine).
Does selecting "Complete EPG reload" in Config/Capture Sources really do a complete reload?
The reason I ask is that recently a show for which I had a recurring recording scheduled was suddenly cancelled by the network (Fox), but my EPG still showed future shows (I get 14 days of show data) in the grid -- even after EPG updating. I checked the show lineup at zap2it.com and the show, correctly, was not in their grid. A new show was now shown in the timeslot. Why would the cancelled show still be in the GBPVR grid if the EPG was completely reloaded?
I just wondered if anyone uses the live TV feature. I know I don't and never have. I use GBPVR for recording, weather, my videos (a lot), etc. But if I want to watch TV I use the TV tuner instead - isn't that the easiest thing to do?
First off want to thank you for this work you are doing, i will like for a request for EWA. Is possible when viewing searched results in table view mode to sort the Air date in the first available date?
