HI Everyone

I am new the MVP world but just got one from newegg .. arrived last night...

installed thier software and hooked to network..
the unit worked right off the bat...

stop thier software.. and moved to my gbpvr box...
configured for 1/2/3 (see below) MVP's and sent differnt dongles to the MVP...

the only one I could get to work with the MVP was dongle3.0248xxxx ... this is the only one that would connect to the gbpvr system with clear menu/video
however this doesnt seem to allow for overlay's .. I cant see what channel I am typing in... cant see a timebar for video's being played etc... tryed forcing displays on MVP with options in the config... but every combination I tried I cant seem to make it work...

as the other dongle files, all of them when sent to the MVP do load.. but the video sync is gone (flipping vertically and black and white picture) as soon as any of them initialize on the MVP unit.

my MVP is brand new - Rev H2 Lot 1506

Any help suggestions so this will look good on my 36Inch TV as it does on PC would be appreciated..

Note: To reset I unplugged MVP for 2 minutes both power / network cable

Other things to note: the version on the main screen says 2.04
the dongle3.0248xxx doesnt seem to support all the remote buttons... or if I push guide the tv continues to play but I cant get to the guide.. all I can do is power off the MVP... and start over..

System is AMD64 3200+ 1GB DDR, 160Gb System 500GB recordings, PVR150 GBPVR 97.09

I'm fairly new to GBPVR and i hope this hasn't already been discussed or implemented and I just have not seen it.

I would like to see a feature where you could specify in the guide a channel/time to select and have GBPVR automatically skip to this channel when this time arrives (if a tuner is available of course). Something I have seen in satellite/cable boxes and I find very useful.

Thanks,
Matt

I am just about to splash out on a WinTV-PVR-350 PCI card; i intend to attach the device directly to my sky + box using cable S-Video and audio line in. I am not interested in being able to access the TV guide on my PC or schedule TV recordings. Instead, i just want to be able to get the picture (and sound) that would appear on my TV on my PC screen (obviously using gbpvr) and manually start and finish recording. So my question is: does gbpvr support this or do you always have to schedule a recording?

The reason i'm interested in this setup is simply that i have a few select files on my sky HDD that i would like to record to mpeg then re-encode (at a later date) to xvid.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I have searched the forum backwards and forwards and found nothing to help, so hopefully someone knows how to fix this one.

1.) Weather Plugin was installed and working great
2.) One day it was just gone![COLOR="red"][/COLOR]
3.) Uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin several times to no avail

Hmmmm.

Also of interest is if the Music2 is not capable of using a mapped drive. I keep getting an error.

Thanks for your help

Sub/others...

Is there anyway at all to add the ability to add the Select (button function)
to the HaupBlast utility? ...

Currently it supports the channel tuning... but occasionally my DishNetwork DVR will go to sleep and I have to press select to 'wake it up'... I know the "Hauppage IRBlast" program does allow for power on function as well... so even a power on is possibly better than nothing.. but I would prefer the ability to use the HaupBlast like this

Haupblast {select} 300

Thanks in advance

Hi Everyone...

I might be missing something... I tried searching but didnt see the answer to this..

I have a scheduled recording (could even be a season recording) ... and I am watching a different/and or same channel... dont realize that my gbpvr is scheduled to record, or more likely I fall asleep watching live tv...

I wake up the next day.. and find out that all the recordings failed...

Is there anyway to
1. Warn of upcoming scheduled recording, and if no reply go ahead and do what is necessary to record.

2. Warn of upcoming scheduled recording, and be able to cancel (continue watching my current show - possibly find that program on at another time, and record)

My DishNetwork DVR does this... and I was kinda shocked gbpvr with a base install, never even crossed my mind that it wouldnt..


My system - AMD64 3200+ XP/SP2 GBPVR 97.09 1GB DDR -160GB + 500gb Storage - PVR150/DishNetwork Dual Tuner (1 tuner dedicated to PVR150)

Thanks

my broadband at home is 2mgb down, 256 up. When i'm at work i want to stream a file (gbpvr recoding)from my home PC. I will use webstreamer if i can, but even just using VLC to stream, i cant get a good enough stream going, keeps crapping out.
i use putty to create tunnels to my work pc.
So far i can only get VLC to work reliably by having the transcoding options set with video 64K, size set at 0.25 and 1 audio channel at 16k. that of course is unwatchable, however, thats only about 100kb/s but that seems to be the limit before it craps out.

Is it even possible what i'm trying or do or do i have to put in some QOS stuff on my broadband router? etc.

Hello guys I am having alot of issues with the newest version, I just reinstalled xp and read the survival guide for the newest version, did everything asked, Is there a link to an older version of GBPVR, thanks all help apreciated.

I installed a 2nd PVR-150 card, re-installed all the drivers for the card and the IR Remote program, but now the remote does not work. I tried plugging the remote into both cards, but it does not make a difference. Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry, I guess this probably should have been posted in the Hardware forum.

I just installed my 2nd PVR-150 tuner card and re-programmed all my reoccuring shows. I have no conflicts showing in GBPVR unless one long program is being recorded at the same time as multiple shorter programs.

For example, I have 4 recordings pending for "NASCAR Beyond The Wheel". They are all 1/2 hour shows starting at 3pm, 3:30pm, 4pm and 4:30pm. At the same time I have "World Cup Soccer" scheduled for recording from 3pm - 5pm. As far as I see it, with 2 cards, this shouldn't be an issue? Couldn't 1 card record all the NASCAR shows while the other card records soccer? I also have a few other occurances of this sort of thing happening with other shows.

Is there anything I can do other than cancelling shows to get around this?
