I've just started tinkering with GB-PVR and for the most part everything is working 100% A1 supergood. The only exception is that I am experiencing pixelation of the OSD when viewing video. The OSD looks much like in this picture which I yoinked from another thread:



Except I'm not using east asian fonts.

Worth noting that I am doing this on a woefully under spec'd machine, particularly in the video department (Savage MX 8MB) and it may well be a bridge too far for the old dear. If so, no drama's as it is bearable but if there is a way to resolve this, even better.

What object/methods do I need to use to look up info like channel name/number, guide description text etc?

Could someone send me the file http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/uploads/Utility/...ed.v47.zip
please?

Since ~11 hours i try to get connection to the wiki from germany -> no success.

If you can send me this archive, please send a PN, i'll give you my E-Mail Adress then.

Thank you in advice.

I know it sounds like overkill (and probably is) but I am in the process of consolidating several of my desktops into one badass HTPC. (I am moving and can't take all the computers with me.) I am considering keeping my two GeForce 6800 GS cards and configuring them in the HTPC running in SLI mode. Does anyone have experience with this type of setup?

Input?

Hey - could someone tell me where the option is to have a "progess bar" during playback that shows how far along you are in a recording and shows where commercials have been skipped? I had it in v.96 and can't find where it went now that I've moved to v.98. Thanks.

Does comskip work with ATSC OTA-HD?

Hi all,

Worst of many disastwers to strike recently is the failure of my Shuttle pc currently running as HTPC (dvd and media player no PVR). Could not come at a worse time (1/2 way through Fascape complete collection) and so have no time to sit down and spec out a new sys.

So I would like some help pls, have CPU amd X64 3000+, mem DDR, USB wireless ,HDD and DVD.

What I need is a new case and MB that will be able to use socket 939CPU and be quite quiet, as well as Svid and optical audio output (to AV switch). Additonally with the restrictions of HDCP to PCIe only it would be nice to have this as an option to upgrade to when I finaly get a HDTV. Also have been rather cramped for expansion TV tuners etc in my current Shuttle would be nice to be able to fit in 2-3 cards + GFX.

Size requirements are not a problem my AV switch is full size seperate component so somthing that has the width of this height I have a decent ammount to deal with (a good 10 inches), would like to place the unit under the switch.

Lastly the less cash the better around £200...., Have just spent a load on a new CPU for my main computer and have to budget for new graphics card and later Vista :mad: (though the wife has said she will put some of her savings into it ).

Suggestions greatfully recived if nothing turns up then I may fall back on a new shuttle (SN25P) and scavange my current 6600GT(heatpipe) GFX from my main PC.

This may not have anything to do with GBPVR, but maybe someone in this forum has a clue about this. After installing GBPVR and configuring it to run in full screen mode, whenever I maximize any application window, the window always overflows my TV screen size. As a result all 4 edges of the window gets cut off.

I tried changing the resolution of my PC but that did not help. Any idea how I could get the window to fit within my TV screen?

When I exit out of Live TV by mistake (for eg. by pressing the right mouse button) and then I immediately try to go back in by pressing "Live TV" on the main menu, I always get the error message saying "No tuners are available for watching Live TV". Ususally I need to wait for some time (about 30 seconds) before I can go back in again by pressing the "Live TV" button.

Is this a known issue or an expected behavior? Any way I can avoid having to wait before resuming Live TV after accidentally exiting to the main menu?

Hey, I am having issues with watching my recorded videos. The playback will be fine and in certain spots it will just skip to another part of the video. Either back a little or forward, making the videos unwatchable. I have the WINTV USB2 PVR using GBPVR. I thought i may have something to do with the variable bit rate. It was happenign using the default Medium setting on the GBPVR software. I then changed the bitrate to constant & made it about 5000 KB/s, and the issue is still happening. Also i checked the HD & says it doesn't need to be defragged. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated & i will try them out when i get home (work right now).

Cheers,
Mike
