I've just done a clean install of v0.98.08, keeping my previous config and database files. The install went okay, but I'm trying to re-map and add some channels. When I go to edit my capture source, the channel listing is empty. I select "Map digital channels to EPG channels" and I get the message that I need to update my EPG. I then proceed to run Update EPG, but the channel list is still empty and if I again try and select to Map the channels I get the same message telling me I need to run update EPG first.
I've tried clicking ok after updating the epg, and ok again to exit the config and then going back into config and clicking "Map digital..." but still the same problem.
I then tried clicking Empty EPG, and it seemed to run okay, then Update EPG but still not channels showing up.
I ran Empty EPG again and okayed my way out of config. When I took a look at the config log there was the following error:
07/10/2006 14:03:00.882 ERROR [1] Error int emptyEPG(captureSource): The database file is locked

I was not running GBPVR, and I've tried stopping the recording service and then going in to Config to run Empty EPG, but I keep getting the same issue.
I've attached a zip file with 2 config logs, one is a log of after doing an Empty EPG, and another after an Update EPG.
Hi
I'm looking for services or products that can find music similar to what I like. I's like to be able to upload a list of all the songs or CD's that I already own, and have the service work out what I listen to and suggest other albums. Most "big" services like Amazon.com don't really work for me since I buy a lot of music from the artists directly through the web and at concerts, or music on particular labels that are for the most part indie or non affiliated. Can anyone reccomend anything?
Is there a way to prevent GBPVR from interrupting your live viewing when a pending recording starts ? Might be nice to ask if you want to watch live or record.
I am currently running 0.96.12 and would like to install the latest version. Is there any way to backup my configuration just in case I have severe issues upgrading? I attempted to upgrade to 0.97.13 earlier this year but had problems that I could not resolve.
When I hit the stop button on my MVP remote I get an Object reference not set to an instance of an object error. This happens if I start from live TV, recordings, or the video archive plugin. Sometimes the MVP stops and goes to the MVP "Contacting Servers" startup screen.
Pardon the silly new guy question but I have searched and searched and can not seem to find a clear cut answer to my question. Based on several threads I have read I believe what I would like to do IS possible but if someone could clarify this I would appreciate it.
I would like to build a system with 2 digital cable tuners (DVB-C?), I am open to recomendations on which card to use.
Based on all of the information I have read this should be possible, however I have also found a lot of conflicting information. Any assistance in clearing up my confusion would be most aprpeciated.
I just installed 98.8 from 96.12 (yeah, really got scared to upgrade), in any case, I just noticed that the new dongle causes a much blurrier picture than the older dongle as far as the menu and interface is concerned. Is this normal?

sometimes my tv guide gets it wrong and plays one movie when the guide tells of another. Fortunately, moves all tend to be the same length for TV (they just pad them out with ads). So i'd like an extra button in the recording page that brought up an on-screen keyboard and allows me to rename the recording to something else. There might be plugins and stuff that do this, but the built in recordings tool is exactly the features I use (minus this request).
Background:
I live in North American (Chicago) and have used GBPVR over last few weeks to get OTA HDTV using Vbox DTA 150. In my experience GBPVR proved to be an excellent replacement for Beyond TV 4.4 (originally bundled with the card), and I have enjoyed the plugins provided by the community and amount of control it gives to me as a user
Now I am thinking of putting together a dedicated home theather system and home theather equpiment in the living room purely for running GBPVR to use the digital library I have and free up my primary computer (use for VPN connectivity to work, database development and some light gaming). As I was putting together a configuration on what home theather based PC should look like, I decided to ask people who have done something similar before and start with forum for the software I indend to use. Your comments, throughts or feedback would be appreciated.
1) CPU qualifications - dual core vs single core
From my experience so far GBPVR rarely consumes a lot of the CPU resources , so would getting a dual core CPU be a waste of money or something GBPVR would be able to use (i.e. when recording a show to a disk while playing previously recording video on the screen)?
2) Single HDTV tuners vs multiple tuners - I am considering purchasing another Vbox tuner card to give setup an ability to record a channel while watching another one on 'live tv'. How does GBPVR deal with multiple HDTV tuners? What happens if/when recording engine is busy taping a show, and user requests to watch live TV on another channel - will GBPVR know that this should be done on second tuner (leaving the first to continue taping the show)?
If this functionality is not implemented , would getting second OTA HDTV tuner be a waste of money?
What about using the same "HDTV" Antenna, splitting the signal from it and feeding it into multiple tuners - have anyone tried that?
3) OS - Windows 2000 vs XP. I believe that if I want dual cores I pretty much have to go with XP (and SP2_. Are there any limitations to GBPVR when running on Windows 2000 (or any other OS)? I am already aware of the MDAC 2.6+ requirement and the need to update the WMP -anything else I should know?
4) 64 bit OS - worth it? If I do go with dual cores and will buy XP, is getting 64 bit version of OS worth looking into? Does it matter at all to GBPVR?
5) Memory- worth getting over 1 Gb or will it be generally irrelevant to GBPVR?
Other questions (general, not related to GBPVR) . I will also cross post them on other forums
a) Audio hardware (within and outside of the PC)
When you setup your system, did you connect it to the dedicated audio processing hardware (receiver,etc)? How did it work for you? Any thoughts or requirements on the functionality/output types/processing power of audio card I should purchase for the HTPC?
b) Video thoughts - right now I am looking for something that
would give enough processing power for HDTV video on the 1080 monitor while running quietly enough (without fans , using passive cooling).
My last 3 cards have been Nvidia so I am looking at likes of GeForce 7600 GT (minimum required to use all functions of the purevideo HD softwarae) that would have DVI/HDMI and passive cooling.
I am not sure yet how I will get audio out of the HTPC if I do use a card with HDMI out (carrying video and audio in single cable), connect audio internally from sound card to the video card? Wouldn't it result in quality degragadion for audio (digital to analog conversion,etc)? Your experience would help
Internal video - does it even make sense to look into internal video solutions (Geforce 6150 type) that come with the motherboard if i plan to output to 1080p screen ? Does it have enough power to handle HDTV video at those resolutions?
By the way, big thanks to RWMECH who have provided his ATSC building experience ...
