Hauppauge PVR-250, GBPVR 98.13. I had been trying (and fighting choppy video) with BeyondTV 4.4, and decided to go with GBPVR (no choppy video!). The live AND recorded sound sounds dull, and maybe not stereo, under GBPVR
I checked, and stereo is enabled in the direct.ini file.
How do I go about configuring a 2nd PVR-250 card in my system? I found a wiki that somewhat explained it, but when I tried it I lost all my capture devices, and therefore, any recordings and line-ups associated with it!!
csy,
Did you go with the X1650Pro or X1650XT?
Anyone else out there using the X1650?
I was about to pull the trigger for the 7600GT but was curious about the X1650 results.
I also read these articles, and now I'm rethinking the ATI line.
Thanks to ATIâs Avivo display technology, the Radeon X1650 delivers industry leading video performance, achieving more than double the score of competing cards in HQV testing4. Both standard definition and high-definition digital video will appear crystal clear and burst with true-to-life colors.
The Radeon X1650 scores 123 out of a possible 130 points in HQV tests, the highest score of any graphics card4 The X1650 is the industry leader in its class in video performance according to HQV testing, the standard method of measuring the picture quality of DVD playback.
4. The Radeon X1650 PRO earned a score of 123 in HQV benchmark tests, one of the highest video performance scores in the industry. Test system: AMD 4200+ 1GB DDR2 Catalyst 6.6 (8.26) drivers
X1650XT:
ATI seems to clarify these results in their remarks pertaining to the XT.
Is it the XT only or both the XT and the Pro that deliver these results?
The Radeon® X1650 XT delivers superior mainstream performance with industry-leading image quality1 and best-in-class HD video2.
1 ATI is the only graphics chip maker that can display both HDR and FSAA 3D image enhancement features at the
same time and is the only chip make to display 1.07 billion colors when attached to 10-bit displays.
2 The Radeon X1650 XT earned a score of 123 in HQV benchmark tests, one of the highest video performance scores
in the industry. Test system: AMD 4200+ 1GB DDR2 Catalyst 6.6 (8.26) drivers. Some digital content protection

When the OSD pops up while watching LiveTV, the "red" portion of the timeline extends beyond the white boundary box (that normally contains the whole timeline) off the screen, and the "green" line and position marker are not visible at all. This occurs with 98.08 or 98.13. I generally use the nVidia purevideo decoder with VMR9 enabled and the custom VMR9 in GBPVR, however I have this problem regardless of the rendering method used, i.e. same in overlay mode.
Additionally, I've noticed with 98.08 the GBPVR window somehow gets stuck in "maximized" mode after the first time I maximize it, it can be minimized to the taskbar, but I cannot restore it to a normal window that can be resized and moved around.
I can see that this question has been asked in the past and it looks like GB-PVR doesn't support a CI (I'm using a dvb-s).
My is question is: Will DVB-S CI support ever be introduced in GB-PVR and if it will, do you have an approximate timescale please.
The reason that I ask is simply that I want to replace the MCE PVR with another PVR and may be happy to hold out for longer if I new that CI support would be coming to GB-PVR. If it isn't going to come then I can continue evaluating alternatives with DVB-S CI support.
I have 2 Hauppauge WinTV PVR-500 in my machine but can only get one of the card to work. One of the card is with FM radio and the sec. card is with out FM radio. GBPVR can see both card. What am i doing wrong.
