I have been using 2 F5L cards in my old machine. I recently installed these two cards in my new Dell PC. The cards work well but when I try to shut PC down, I get BSOD with zulutcap.sys error. This only happens if my PC access the cards. If I turn on and shut down, no BSOD. And if I use FusionHDTV app, then shut down is okay. BSOD occurs if I use either GB-PVR or BeyondTV.
I took out one to see whether IRQ is an issue. Even with 1 card with no IRQ sharing, I still get the BSOD.
This is odd: the TV picture size is kind of squashed towards the top of the TV screen (fills upper 80% of the screen height) when watching live TV, but yet fills entire vertical screen correctly when playing back a recording. I tried different settings and aspect ratios (using the F7 key) but with no real change. Is there a setting for this?
In the playback config screen, I'm using the VMR9 renderer if that makes a difference.
I dont know if this is possible or not, but I think it would be nice to be able to have an mp3 file play in the background when you go into GBPVR and surf the menus before picking a show, etc. It just seems wierd when you go from watching a show back to the menus and everything is very quiet... Is this possible from the MVP as well?
What is the proper way to discontinue a season recording? I have tried twice to cancel and each time all recordings are no longer scheduled. In fact, I had a hard time just getting anything to schedule each time after I tried to cancel a season. Now I am afraid to try again. So, what is the proper way?
Dish updates the STB every night, default is 3am. This update resets the stb and requires a the first button pushed to be a <select> No other button is recognized unitl the select is issued.
I found only one reference/solution but with MythTv where they wrapper each channel change to start with a select.
if there isn't a solution for gbpvr already, could you add a send prior option much as there is pad 3 digits and post enter/ok?
This is a 100% hack.... Well I modified the inf file from XP x64 to recognise my IR bean bag.
Ok, what I did was take the standard IRBus.inf and IRBus.sys from my Windows XP x64 CD and modify it to automattically install the driver based on the PNP ID of USB\vid_0609&PID_031d this is the PNP ID of the standard (SMK based) Microsoft OEM USB beanbag.
to install:
goto - device manager - right click on unknown device (this needs to be your 'Ehome Infrared Receiver') and click update driver and click on 'install from a specific location' then point XP to your folder with the drivers included in this package. Click install anyway if it comes up with a driver warning. then it should be installed as long as your PNP ID is the same as my one! :-)
Now XP x64 then installed the driver with no issues, but I still cant seem to get it to work. Maybe its my software or someone could point me in the direction of any software that will allow me to monitor any IO to or from device driver that would be great! ;-) Or maybe I have an error between the keyboard and the chair?
So if someone else could try this driver and see if they have any more luck??? I have tried the drivers from Vista x64 with no luck (driver wont load at all!)
I have exhausted my search abilities without a definitive answer, so here is the question. While watching digital TV, the highest definition shows never fill the entire screen of my 1080p-native Westinghouse LVM-37W3. I have the video card set to that 1920x1080 resolution. If I watch a show that OnAir identifies as 1920x1080, it still has black bars on the sides. Is this just "how it is" or can I get full screen without employing fill or stretch or center cut etc.? I have TV set as 16x9, I have the NVIDIA decoder specified for playback, with anamorphic/raw aspect, vmr9 custom--am I missing a setting somewhere that might fill my screen completely?
