I'll save the pain of trying other apps up until now for another post. For now here's what I have:

3GHz AMD64
1.5 GB RAM
200 GB Hitachi 7200 RPM drive
ATI Theater 650 (HD)
ATI Radeon 9600XT
Connected to Mitsu 55" HDTV via HDMI

I've been struggling to get this all working under ANY app. It was close under Vista using Windows Media Center, but it was jerky and the HD pic was lousy. With GBPVR, I have proper menus, but nothing but snow.

I set up the analog with direct, and the digital with GBR (or something like that, can't see it from here). I loaded the channels proper for each device. I'm lost on what to do. It seems each app has their own little problem.

I would like GB-PVR to Auto ShutDown my Computer after a recording is finished. I looked in Config but didn't see that option. I could have over looked it since there are so many options. Is there a way I can do this? Thanks

Im thinking of changng my standard 28" widescreen tv to a new lcd tv and building a htpc. I am considering an ati graphics card with hdmi output.
Has anybody got a similar setup that can give any advice about possible pro's and con's of this setup.

Cheers Jase

hi sub

since applying the dvb epg patch from the survival guide i've seen the recording service crash twice at abount the time a recording should end. there are no messages in the log files, but there is an entry in the event viewer:

i'm using a nova-t 909, and i've never seen this problem before i applied the patches (i looked back through the event viewer to make sure). since applying the patch some recordings have been successful both before and since the failed ones.

it doesn't look to me like there's a lot to go on here, is there anything i can do to get more information about the reason for the crash?

let me know if there's any other information i can provide.

cheers

Hi Everyone,
I have written a little utility that downloads show pictures from epguides.
This utility can be used in conjunction with the TVListings plugin to show program pictures in the guide.

You can download it from the wiki

Right now the utility is hard-coded to download pictures to media\art under your gbpvr installation directory.

The utility takes a while to run, but this all depends on the size of your epg and unique show names therein.
Please try it out and let me know what you think.

The utility needs to reside in the GBPVR installation folder in order to run.

Thanks and enjoy!

EDIT - Added a command line option. Passing in Y after the program will copy the pictures downloaded with an extra two spaces at the end.
This allows people using TVGuideSuperCharger to see pictures for 'New' shows (shows that show up with a * at the end of the name)

usage ProgramImageTool.exe Y

GBPVR suddenly started using to 99% of my cpu power. I can't find think of anything I've done to my system lately (except upgraded firefox to 2.0 and rebooted my computer) that should/could cause this. I can't find anything in the logs either. Perhaps sub can see something weird in them? This happens everytime I restart gbpvr.exe, both with sassari and the default blue skin.

I haven't tried rebooting the machine as of yet, since I'm recording something...

Won't install on Windows XP is there any way to fix this?

Just installed the latest version on a clean install of XP with service packs installed. When recording show, The gbpvr system tray icon will no long pop up a menu and the web interface just sits and spins. The scheduled shows still record and I am able to get into gbpvr from the start menu. A reboot on the machine will clear this up until the next show recording. No antivirus software nor firewall is installed on the machine, although it is running ultravnc. It is a dell optiplex 260 with an ATI 9800 video card with 2 Haugppage 150's installed. Any ideas?

Hi - is there any way I can tell the MVP to switch between widescreen and 4:3 aspect ratio? Can this be done through a plugin? I can get the info I need from my external tuners, would be very good to be able to get this to the MVP.

Thanks for any help

I downloaded GBPVR recently and whenever I try to install it a file comes up with a registry error. Is their somewhere else I can try to download it from? Or is their a fix to this?
