MVP connection with 1 MVP server is very inconsistent. Usually, I need to restart the recording services in order to get my MVP to connect. Sometimes needs to 2 restarts and a few MVP reboots. I am giving ample time between recycles.

Sure liking the new setup with WinTV PVR350 & GB-PVR on our WinXP Pent4 2.8Ghz PC.
Bought the Snapstream firefly remote with high hopes of fixing the glitch the 34 btn WinTV remote has of not being able to mute the TV sound. Firefly does that and lots else since I applied the mods GLOBAL.XML and created the GBPVR.xml (made the mod to change App4 to App5).
It does not FF or REW (Skip fwd & back) when playing the recorded SVCD format MPG2 files. I do get a chime sound from any of the Firefly "VCR" buttons.
The Win TV remote does it when running that App, and the stmts are in the new GBPVR.xml to do it, but no worky. Any ideas on this?
8pm Updates on this:
I did find newer XML code examples in - http://forums.snapstream.com/vb/showthre...ght=GB-PVR
I also found the keybrd will FF & REW the video with Cntl/Rt & Cntl/Left Arrows. Maybe those could be mapped to a Firefly wildcard A or B button with XML?
First off, I know VERY little about HD so be gentle. I am wanting to get a HD card to add to my existing system (see sig below) to get over the air local HD broadcasts. A guy at work told me all I really need is rabbit ears and I can tune into a fair amount of the local stations (I live only a few miles from him).
Can someone give me a suggestion on the best value (read cheapest working but not total garbage) PCI HD capture card that will coexist with my two PVR150s?
New here, moving over from BeyondTV, have 2 x PX-TV402U, USB-UIRT. My basic signal sources are my local cable provider and a digital cable box (SciAtlanta Explorer 2000).
I want to set up GBPVR to use the PX-TV402U's with a viewing/recording priority that uses normal analog cable (internal PX-TV402U tuners) first, and only uses the digital cable box if it can't get the requested channel on analog cable. So priority would be:
-first: PX-TV402U #1 tuner with analog cable lineup,
-second: PX-TV402U #2 tuner with analog cable lineup,
- third: PX-TV402U #2 SVideo input connected to digital cable box, with digital cable lineup, controlled by the USB-UIRT.
I've browsed through the docs and forums a bit, and it seems to me that setting up box #1 with one zap2it subscription with the analog lineup, and box #2 with a second zap2it subscription with the digital lineup should be straightforward, but haven't seen any description of what i describe above("splitting" a box with multiple inputs and giving each input a different lineup).
I also have the a question concerning the use of two usb devices:
- how does the system determine which is #1 and which is #2? This matters as i will be connecting different sources to the two boxes. Is there a "natural order" to the usb ports in a given computer? I have several usb root hubs in my computer: will WIN/XP always enumerate the usb ports in the same order (ex: motherboard usb ports before my firewire/usb card ports)?
Any thots appreciated,
Jim

Hey guys I am in a situation here, I have three hard drives: 1 40gb IDE, 1 80gb IDE and 1 250gb SATA on a sata pci card in my computer. I believe that the 40gb is just too old and is starting to corrupt, unfortuneatly thats where my system is installed and I get messages in event viewer that tells me I have a bad block on that hard drive (multiple messages).
My goal is to do a complete image of that 40 gb hdd and transfer it to my 80 gb and just get rid of the old 40 gb but keep in mind I have other files on my 80gb that I want to keep (Integrate the image with my files?) The thought came to me today as I was making my new windows media player 11 look all pretty with getting the album art and making the albums perfect, that if I need to format and get rid of the 40 gb then all this work is pointless. Another problem is that files on certain drives rely on files on other drives. ie. GBPVR is installed in C: but has the recordings on K:, same with all my music its mixed into all the drives.
What Im wondering is if its possible to move my 40gb to my 80gb and have little to no problems with resetting stuff up? And my major question is how would I go about doing this and what programs do I need. Thanks As always
I have Cyberlink as my DVD player. When I run a DVD under Cyberlink, it sounds great! When I run it through GBPVR (and I've selected Cyberlink as Video, Audio Decoder, and Audio Renderer), it's like at 50% of the audio level. Why the disparity between the two? Anyone know how to fix it?

I recently installed GB-PVR on my Windows XP machine. I have a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 350 that I'm using as my tuner/encoder. My original plan was to use the 350's TV-out as well. It worked in that video (live TV or recorded programs) played fine through the 350, but I could only get GB-PVR's main menu, TV guide, and other menus to display on my computer monitor. I came here to look for help, and learned that the 350 is no longer officially supported.
No problem, I think, because my video card, Nvidia's e-GeForce 6500, has S-video output. I set it up to use my television as a second monitor. It was no problem getting GB-PVR to display menus on my television this way. However, it was still using the 350 (which was still connected to my television via a different input) for video output. No matter what I did, I could not figure out how to get the video output to go through the GeForce 6500. I unhooked the 350's TV-out completely, but it didn't help--now I'm unable to get video playback at all. Menus still work fine on my monitor and on my TV through the GeForce 6500.
I'm assuming that I have to adjust some of the settings on the configuration menu's playback tab. Under hardware decoder device, only three options are listed: the 350, a "Sigma X card," and "none--use software decoder." Is the GeForce 6500 supposed to appear in this menu? Or do I need to use software decoding? If I need to use software decoding, what do I need to do to set it up correctly?
I'm still a little new at this, and any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
