Hi
I am having horrible time getting gbpvr to setup. I read the wikis and I still cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I get no picture or sound. I have wintv pvr 150 connected to directv reciever via s video. I went through wiki setup guide. Any suggestions guys
I have the 64bit RTM of Vista and put in a new PVR500 and installed GBPVR and it installed the drivers automatically and seems to work fine. I've even tried to use the beta Hauppauge drivers and installing as instructed via the device manager but it won't seem to let me.
Scheduled recordings in the 24 hours I've had it ran fine and I'm working it hard the next few days to see what happens.
Only thing I'm not happy with is that I have a widescreen monitor and neither the 4:3 nor 16:9 seem to look right.....still working on that.
I am very new to the whole PVR on PC idea. So please be nice if this is a real dumb question.
I have been using a Beyond TV trial version for a few days and really like it. What are the major advantages/disadvantages of using GBPVR? (the obvious advantage being the price)
we're watching live tv when two scheduled recodrings start up together (on my twin tuner system) and we're dumped back to the epg - deciding that we'd prefer to keep watching live tv we hurridly cancel one of the recordings ("tripping over" at 22:00) and the epg bar goes from red to green, but gbpvr still doesn't think there's a tuner available. I double checked the the pending recordings screen and it only shows the one being recorded. Howeveron checking the status via the gbpvr tray it showed both tuners still assigned to the scheduled recordings.
My balls were only saved by my emergency work around of sticking the aerial back into the TV set
Any help to prevent this happening again would be appreciated, as I was bloody lucky that the channel w/she wanted to watch was on analogue.

I use DVICo's Fusion5 Lite card to record HD over QAM directly into mpg format. Then I use gbpvr to view the files from the Video Library.
Originally I found that the Zulu video decoder (the one DVICo uses for playback) provided the best viewing of these files. But at some point when I tried to play back an HDTV mpg file, it wouldn't play, only a black screen would show up (no audio either). I can't exit gbpvr with the remote at that point, so I use Windows Task Manager to close it - oddly though, Task Manager shows gbpvr as "Running" rather than "Not Responding" as I would have expected.
The other odd thing is that I can use the Zulu decoder to play back standard-def files with no problem, although it is really not the best decoder for this. But still no luck with HD
Anybody have any ideas on why I can't use the Zulu decoders for HD playback? I can still use other decoders for HD playback but the playback is not nearly as good.
Im trying to setup a GBPVR install as a 'client' to my GBPVR box with a DVB nova-t inside. What are the requirements for live tv to work? All I'm getting is a still "static" screen.
