Is there a way to have timeshifting enabled from the onset, like dedicated PVRs do?? i don't like that you have to pause once to get timeshifting working - I want to be able to roll back x minutes at any time.
While my DVB EPG problems are being sorted out (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=20123) I've decided to have a play with the xml grabber - but I've got myself in a bit of a mess
Q1 - because the dvbEPG and xml grabber name some of the channels differently I now have a BBC1 and a BBC ONE (and plenty of other examples) in the TV guide, both mapped to the same tuning request. Can I schedule a recording on either and expect it to work OK?
Q2 - I have two tuners, can I leave one on DVB EPG update and change one to the xml plugin (temporarily) and expect GBPVR to syncronise the data correctly?
Q3 - Do my scheduled recordings 'look' for the channel name, or the tuning request? i.e. if the DVBEPG data is missing on BBC1, will the scheduler still record the show on BBC ONE via the xml EPG data?
Obviously the best option would be to wipe all my (DVBEPG) capture sources and start afresh with the XML grabber, but I've got loads of scheduled recordings that I realy don't want to have to setup again.
So Q4 is: Is there a way to export pending/scheduled recordings and be able to reimport them again after I've changed EPG data source (possibly also having to account for the channel name differences)?
Or I could just wait and see if the DVBEPG gets fixed..... (whoever said patience was a virtue never had to fear about the girlfriend missing an episode of Robin Hood )
Just checking, on my 350 I can't seem to be listening to the radio and recording a TV channel (or playing a recording) both; that's the way it should be? Obviously the first case would be more useful.
Or, it should be working concurrently and I must have something misconfigured in my capture device config somewhere?
After upgrading to v098.13b yesterday, and a quick reboot, the selection and playback of a recorded MPG from the library hangs congruently with the length of the video. A 15min video will sit cause the selection screen to remain frozen for about 20 seconds. An hour long video will cause the selection screen to hang for about 3-5 min. Then the video will begin to play. I haven't made any changes or changed selection for anything since the upgrade (although since the error occurred I've tried changing decoders -- but the attempt didn't fix anything).
Ironically, live TV starts right up without any delay....
Hi,
I see that AutumnWave OnAir HDTV-GT is now supported. Before I go and spend the money on it I would like to understand a little more about QAM and how the tuners work in general. I know that unencrypted HDTV cable channels are supported (thanks for the response on that question Sub!) but my confusion still comes with digital cable channels? For example, Comcast in my area has Scifi channel on channle 160, which puts it in the extended digital range. Would these channels be supported by this or is it a whole different encoding scheme?
I have followed the wiki to install my mce remote. (MCE IR reciever with a logitec Harmony remote emulating a MCE remote)
I downloaded the full hip software and started to follow the wikki. What i don't understand is:
Is there a standard (preinstalled) config for the MCE remote in hip or do I have to learn every command to HIP.
For now i can walk true the menu of GBPVR but with every key it skips two times. I can adjust this on the harmony remote but maybe i have to adjust it in hip.
Is there someone with a step by step guide how to set this up? I only want to use the remote to do things in GBPVR and don't need to setup ir blasters (hipsend ???)or so to send ir command to other boxes.
the gbpvr screensaver doesn't disable when I uncheck it via the config app on my system (new to 98.13!). Easy fix to set it to false manually in the xml file, but thought i'd point it out in case it's a bug....
Just wondering about something here. Let's say I have a reoccuring recording set up of a show that is on every morning at a certain time. If I go in and remove one or two pending shows that I know are re-runs that I have already recorded it seems that after the next EPG update they are back in the pending schedule. Is that "normal" behavior?
