Will this card work in GB-PVR? They have a FAQ that says it will work with Sage in XP - and someone else on the BeyondTV forum contacted them and they said it should work since it has BDA drivers. I'm on Windows 2000, but the product page says that's supported, too.
I think it has the same ViXS X-Code II as the NVidia DualTV, though, which doesn't seem to be supported. Is that because of something with the hardware, or merely because NVidia has released MCE-only drivers (not XP/MCE)?
Currently I am recording with a PVR150 on a Via C3 Samual II processor.
The CPU runs at a whopping 800Mhz (equivalent of a 400MHz Celeron)
During recording the CPU load is 5% or less due to the WH MPEG encoder on the PVR150 and the very efficient IO handling of the VIA C3 architecture
I am considering adding a second tuner.
Because the machine has no free PCI slot but plenty of free USB2.0 ports it could be an option to use a USB tuner.
Could anyone give me some info on:
1: What CPU load to expect when using a USB tuner? Do the/some USB tuners have a HW MPEG encoder?
2: What picture quality to expect from a USB tuner. I am very happy with the performance of the PVR150.Looks nice on the big LCD TV.
I haven't seen any other reports of this, so here you go. If I try to enter a networked directory in the video library, and that network directory is not available (the particular computer is shut down), then you get kicked back to the main menu with a message "network drive not available". That's fine, but after that you can't enter the video library again, since it always tries to go into the same directory - the one that's not available...
I have searched like mad, so I apologize if I have missed a thread that already addresses this issue. I have been using GB for about 8 months with no issues. Recently, I have had issues with getting audio without video. It only happens after I have finished watching a recording, and it happens every time I watch a recording. The only way to correct it is to restart GB. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
Has anyone else noticed that v0.98.8b seems less snappy than previous releases?
For example, the main GB-PVR seems to take a long time to start after I app by right-click the system tray icon and launch it (maybe 10-15 seconds), and when I'm at the main window and click the Live TV button, it can take up to 10 seconds before I start seeing video (my Live TV Pre-Delay setting is 600ms).
Maybe I'm just impatient these days, but it seems that it used to be more responsive.
It's too bad this is written in CLR-assemblies-MSIL-breakmylanguageforaprofit-dotNet, because it looks like a good tool. I will never run dotNet.
Even the new M$ big-wig-to-be Izzie something-or-other's big directive is to work on smaller, lighter, less-complicated projects. Maybe that'll include scrapping dotCrap. What's it for, anyway? Am I really going to port my win app to Linux with some C#-to-Java converter? pleez. It's a too-little-too-late attempt to compete with Java. And do they really think I'm going to run interpreted code on my servers? Ha!
So, you all will respond with "You'll just get left behind, luddite man!". Yeah, right.
Hello,
I have the PVR-250 Bundle that comes with the IR Blaster. I searched throughout the forums here for help and elsewhere but all I could find were people with the PVR-150 Blaster.
I figured that I could use the HaupBlast utility to send signals with my IR Blaster, but when I try to watch live TV I receive the following message:
'The application has failed to start because HCWIRBLAST.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application might fix the problem'.
My question is this. Does anyone else have this bundle? Did you have success getting it to work with GBPVR, and how?
I have GBPVR09808 and when I install it I keep getting erros in the intallation and it won't install. I even tried reformating the hard drive and reinstalling windows to get it to install and it won't. Here's my info:
Windows XP Pro sP2
MSI 7600GT
ATI 550 Pro
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card.
Opteron Dual Core 2.0 ghrtz
Asus A8n SLI motherboard.
there is no firewall or anti virus software installed or running ethier.
