I have moved over to GBPVR originally from windows media center, then i tried media portal. I have always had the same Compro T300 tuners and they worked fine.

The wiki says that they are supported but when i try and comfigure the tuners in the config i select the 'bda' option and i can find the card in the list, but if i click on the 'only use tuners installed on this machine' it tells me that there are no suitable tuners inatalled.

I have the latest drivers installed and the cards work with the compro software.

I took one of the cards out to see if it was getting confused, then uninstalled all other software.

No joy. This is my first experience with GBPVR, is there some thing I am not doing or done wrong?

Is there some thing extra I need to Install?

I have two other cards I could try but they are in my living room machine that runs on Media portal. They are A Hauppauge HVR 1300 and a pinnacle 310i.

Would one of these be easier to set up?

Please, thank you, thank you, please!

Ok, I'm totally new here and just figure out a little about this software. Please excuse my ignorance because I don't know any better. I just got my 500MCE card in the mail, and installed all the required software. I'm running XP professional. When I plugged in the ir bean bag and configured the software the remote hasn't worked. I can do all other things but I can't get this to work. I got the 253 package which includes the 45 button silver remote. I downloaded HIP to fix the issue, but that doesn't do anything. I noticed that some people were referring to a ir.exe file. In my instal cd it didn't include that file, and i downloaded the ir file for the 350 but that isn't working either. Can anyone give me a hand with this? Please help me walkthrough so I dont think this is a waste and give up. you can email me, benjamin_lamborn@hotmail.com if you have a lengthy explaination.

Thanks
Benjamin

Are there any plans to support the HDHomeRun device?

Sub,

I know there isn't much info out there on CableCard yet, but I was just wondering if you had heard any tidbits about Microsofts intentions on supporting CableCard and any exposed API's. I ask as my cable provider was recently bought out by Time Warner and they are doing an initial re-organization of channels which is resulting in losing 7 analog channels for now, and they are hinting at moving more to digital only. If they keep this up, I won't be able to use my tuner cards aside from s-video and thats just a pain.

THanks for all of your work on this program, hopefully the cable companies aren't going to encrypt us all out of it

Sub,
I am currently running Version 0.97.13 and was wanting to upgrade to the latest version. Will GB-PVR install over my current install or should I uninstall the old version 1st?

By the way what is the lastest version and is there any new features that I should see. I read somewhere that there is now a volume overlay.

Thank

I'm getting an "Unhandled Exception Error" whenever I restart the Recording Service.

It keeps asking to launch the Visual Studio Just-In-Time-Debugger, but it can never "attach" to the crashing process.

I contacted Microsoft to install the .NET 2.0 hotfix from "Article ID:923028", but that doesn't help.

The Event Viewer shows the following:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting
Event Category: None

Any suggestions???

I think it would be nice to see a Transcode option, like the one in the Video section, in the Recordings section. That way if you wanted to Transcode just one show to one other format, then it could be done quite easily. That way, you wouldn't have to waste CPU time transcoding absolutely everything that was recorded if you don't want to.

Okay, I have 98.13 and whenever I pause TV I have a problem. When it reaches the end of the initial program that I paused, it freezes and refuses to move to the next program. For example... I'm watching south park and I press pause to use the bathroom. I can continue to watch South Park in timeshift mode, but it refuses to move onto the show after that. You see?


Now about the remote... I was wondering if there was any possible way to have an IR receiver on my computer learn commands from a completely different remote? Sorta the opposite of the learning feature on a remote. Any ideas?

I have windows and GBPVR on my c:\ partition, and it's set up as FAT32. I want my target directory for converted DVDs to be on the g:\ partition (which is NTFS). When I run "DVD to MPEG" I only have options in the c:\ directory.

I can't find a line to change in config.xml, is there one somewhere else?

I've had some problems with live tv (audio/video out of sync, freezing, etc.) and I think I've narrowed down my problems to the nVidia card I have. If I switch to a less powerful card (an ancient Ati) all my problems vanish - but quality/speed suffer.

My nVidia card is an MX4000 and can't use the nVidia decoders. Does anyone use one of these cards and could you suggest any tweaks to make it work better?

Thanks!
