I am not using a USB-UIRT as yet but I am asking this question to check if using a usb-uirt will allow me to correct the following unwanted behavior:
I have the TV input coming to my PC from my cable STB. Since I donât have any IR receiver/blaster on my PC right now, I am always tuned in to channel 3 on GBPVR and I change channels on my STB to watch different channels. I cant really use my TV guide for recording programs since gbpvr is always tuned to channel 3 and it cannot change channels on my STB. When I tune to say channel 7 on my STB and start recording using GBPVR it records what is currently being shown on the TV, but it shows up with under my recordings with a wrong name. Understandably, this wrong name is the name of the program playing on channel 3 at that time.
I am hoping that using a usb-uirt will correct all of the above undesirable behavior. So I am expecting that when I change channels on gbpvr, the usb-uirt will automatically tune to the right channel on my STB. And likewise when I use the TV guide for recording programs. And thus all my recordings will show up with their right names under my recordings.
Hi, after being happy with my GBPVR for quite a while i decided to be brave and try some new skins etc.
I only use the software through my hauppauge MVP.
First off i intstalled the Plain Jane pack as i thought it would give me the look i needed with minimal effort. it did indeed do this i was really impressed at how simple and how quick i got it to look as i wanted. but then i realised that on the computer that acts as the server, GBPVR was using near 200mb of memory, therefore paging for england! this is in comparison to the usual 70mb(ish) that it used before PlainJane.
a few things i tried,
i thought it might of been becasue i was flicking through all the different skins so i restarted.
tried turning the standard blue skin back on.
thought it might be one of the pugins that came with it, turned them off one at a time. but even with all turned off its still hammering my memory.
i was wondering if i could get it to use less ram? if not can it be removed as if never installed?
if not i will upgrade from my 97.9 to the new one and start over again.
I was considering to buy the WinTV 500 because I have only one free PCI slot and I wanted the ability to record two shows simultaneously. My hookup will be as follows:
Wall outlet -> Cable TV Set Top Box -> WinTV 500 card
My question is that since my cable STB can output only one channel at a time and I will be having only one line going into the TV tuner card, how would the TV tuner be able to tune to two channels simultaneously? I understand that the WinTV 500 has an internal splitter, but would that allow it to tune to 2 different channels when the STB outputs just one? Or would I need a different setup in order to enable the WinTV 500 to tune to 2 channels simultaneously?
Also, I don’t have Windows MCE. I shall be using XP, GBPVR and a USB-UIRT to change channels. Will this be ok? I was asking since the card says MCE and I was wondering if MCE was required for it to operate correctly?
I get next error in VS.NET 2005 when developing a plugin:
Indirect reference is being made to assembly GBPVRPublic version 1.0.2443.18672, which contains 'GBPVR.Backend.Common.ScheduleHelper'. This Project references a prior version of GBPVRPublic version 1.0.2443.18621. To use 'GBPVR.Backend.Common.ScheduleHelper', you must replace the reference to GBPVRPublic with version 1.0.2443.18672 or higher.
When I check the GBPVRPublic on my disk it is version 1.0.2443.18621, that is installed by the latest setup.
First to admit I am a newb here. Have a WIN TV PVR 150 installed with my MCE operating system. Connection is from satellite (Expressvu in Canada) STB box via coax.
Went through the config process and had no trouble adding the capture source and Zap2it succesfully downloaded my guide. When I start the GPBVR however I only receive snow and static for live TV. The remote does change the channels so I know it's not an IR issue, but no picture or sound.
Been trying to scour the net for an answer, but I think it has something to do with the video decoder? I have no problem playing DVD's so I should have a decoder on my system I would think? Is there a specific decoder I need to play back video for GBPVR? :confused: Beyond TV gives me picture and sound but no remote control access...strange.
Sorry if this doesn't make sense. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S I know wth this card there are tons of drivers to make it compatible with MCE and I have downloaded all the latest from Hauppauge.
The other day when i was recording things and deleting, trying to nail down an error in VA i recording two shows of yes dear. I've since deleted them. The problem is all is gone on the drives, files, images, folders, but it still shows up in the VA lists every time i open it.
I assume it's stuck in the database somewhere. I even tried un-installing and re-installing. No difference. I'm attaching the logs in case you need to look. I'm not really sure where to go. I hesitate to go in and edit the database manually, i just know I'd be in a worse fix.
Im trying to add the new five channels to my freeview however after about 30 seconds of having the config open it closes itslef whereever i am within it (main page, config, scanning for new channels etc.) thnks for the help
replaced zip
I have downloaded GBPVR after a rave review in Computer Buyer magazine.
The current installation I have is a Sky + box connected to a K-World DVB U310 analogue/digital USB stick, going into my laptop from the RF1 out on the Sky box.
I know that only one channel is being emitted from the Sky box, i.e. the channel that the box is set on. However, I can't seem to configure GBPVR to detect this signal.
Using version 98.8 i keep getting the "error: object reference not set to an instance of an object." on the screen when i try to stop a net radio stream. I've combed the logs and find no reference to this.
I've tried several different skins, including Blue, thinking that it may be a skin error but the problem persists. I also tried both using the ctrl S and using the stop button on the screen, both give the same error.
Weird thing is this only happens when using the PC, using the MVP it doesn't happen.
