I seem to be able to play live tv and recordings fine thru the tv, but when I try to play net radio or music mp3s they only play thru my computer speakers. What am I doing wrong?
One of the things we miss from the days when we had Dish Network is the ability to auto tune to a channel. It would b great to have this in GB-PVR, it would work exactly the same way as selecting a show to record in the program guide, except when the selected show came up, the tuner would auto tune to that channel. Perhaps use a duller red or other color in the guide to indicate a show is auto-tuned and not recording. That's pretty much it.
I'm not sure if this is a skin question or a program question. When in live tv mode, press guide, then select a show, a dialog box pops up with the options Exit, Quick Rec, Record, and Watch. Is there any way to switch the order of these buttons? It would make things smoother to use if you could put the watch button at the top and the exit button at the bottom. If it is something done in a skin, which .xml file sets the order?
I have 2 PVR250s installed on my system, working perfectly for the past year. Today I noticed that some of the recordings are just 'snow' like it's not connected to the antenna.
Through a process of elimination by swapping the antenna cables between the cards, and changing PCI slots and reinstalling the cards, It only happens wth one card.
Could this be a software issue, or is the Card dead?
Im trying to set up a client server. Basically I want to be able to control gbpvr and watch tv from my laptop via wireless. I noticed gbpvr has some kind of server option. anyone ever set this up?
I'm using the patched NativeUtilities.dll and the vmr9 custom renderer setting and experiencing bad tearing.
The tearing occurs in about the top 50% of the screen when playing back or viewing HD 1080i sources. It seems most noticible during scenes of high motion or background pans.
The problem does not occur when playing back SD 576i or 576p material. Problem is not present when using the standard vmr9 setting.
The non-patched version of NativeUtilities.dll also exhibited this behaviour.
I am in the process of setting up GBPVR and would like to know what remote option works the best with GBPVR. I currently have a Firefly Mini Remote (IR) that came bundled with my PVR-500MCE card. I also have a Sony RM-VL600 Universal Remote that has a learning mode. Could I control the GBPVR screens with this setup?
If my current hardware will not work, what would be the best solution for controlling the GBPVR screens? I have regular cable TV with no boxes.
Today I recieved my tv walker ultra and it works. For some unknown reason, I only get O kb video files from this device when recording with GBPVR. It doesn't output O kb files in the TVR app. Should I use the same tvr capture resolutions and bitrates for GBPVR, or should I uninstall the tvr app? Are there any solutions? :confused:
I recently aquired a laptop running XP Media Center. The laptop came with a TV Tuner and remote. I plan on purchasing a USB HDTV Tuner to use with this laptop. I've found the following three USB HDTV Tuner's on the market:
I've seen that I could get the Cat's Eye tuner for around $100, while the other tuners are over $150. However, the Cat's Eye tuner for $100 doesn't include a remote, while all the other tuners include a remote. Would I be able to use the remote bundled with this laptop with any of these USB Tuners? I also plan on using the GB-PVR software (seems to be the best PVR software that's freely available! , so does anyone have any recommendations on what I should get? Any compatibility issues I should be aware of? I'd like to be able to record native HDTV that I can then burn to DVD, so I want to make sure I make the right purchase... but I'd rather spend $100 than $150, or $175... so need to know what the potential pitfalls are.
