Hi there. I have a Hauppauge PVR-250 and have been very happy with it. I recenty downloaded GB-PVR and have been mucking around with that and am impressed. Now what I would like to do is have my channels on my satellite receiver get changed automatically so I can just setup the shows I want to record and never have to touch it again.
I know with the PVR-150, there is an IR transmitter to do this. On my model, I just have the one end that receives signals from the Hauppauge remote, but do not have the IR transmitter part to send the signals to my satellite receiver. The cable on mine looks exactly the same as the one on the PVR-150 except for the transmitter missing. I was wondering if it is possible to buy this cable separately.
I've seen mention of this problem in at least two other posts, but it looks like a solution was never proposed. I'm running an HDTV Wonder along with a WinTV 350 and a WinTV PVR USB2, 1 gig RAM, hyperthreaded 3.0 P4. Everything generally runs well on GBPVR thanks to occasional help/fixes I've gotten on this forum. But I can't get sound on my HDTV Wonder.
The video looks great, just no sound. I've tried the recommended AC3filter remedy to no avail. It should be noted that when I run MCE2005 on the same system, I get perfect sound on OTA channels tuned through the HDTV Wonder. With GBPVR, I've tried every (I think) video and audio codec on the machine, and none have succeeded in giving me sound with HD. (GBPVR has no problem playing sound with channels tuned through the WinTV 350 and WinTV PVR USB2. But as soon as I tune to an HD channel, the picture is splendid and the silence is deafening.)
What is MCE 2005 using to get the sound to work with the HDTV Wonder? It seems like it would just be a matter of recreating the MCE 2005 settings on GBPVR. Is there a MUXER setting that I'm missing? A codec? Does GBPVR not like the driver? Seems strange that everything else works so smoothly and the sound stubbornly refuses to play.

I recently updated my cable box to a Scientific Atlanta 3250HD, with HD support via component video out and DVI out.
Since I do not yet have an HDTV, I run the S-Video output from the 3250 into a Hauppauge PVR-150 card on my PC and view the output on my 2nd monitor, a Samsung 940B LCD in analog mode, using an analog adapter off my digital port on the video card.
My video card is an ATI 9800 Pro, and I use “Theater” mode to view video on the 2nd monitor. GB-PVR is also configured to run on the 2nd monitor.
When I have nothing running on the 2nd monitor, the “Information” menu panel on the LCD says 1024 x 768 pixels, which is the same as my desktop. It also says 60 kHz x 75 Hz refresh rate and analog mode. No surprises here.
When I run GB-PVR, it reads the same – 1024 x 768, 60 kHz x 75 Hz. Everything looks great.
However, when I run the Hauppauge WinTV application, the monitor changes to 800 x 600, and the refresh rate changes to 38.75 kHz x 60 Hz. Why?
So, here are my two questions:
1. How can I get WinTV to run using my desktop monitor configuration - 1024 x 768 and 60 kHz x 75 Hz?
2. Does anyone know what video resolution is coming out of the S-Video port on the SA 3250HD box when I tune to an HD channel? For some HD programs, the channel logo at the bottom right says 1080i, but I know it can’t be that value. The question is – what is it – 480i, 480p, 720p, …?
Are there any tips for improving the recording of hockey games?
I have a PVR150 and am using the most recent beta drivers, no tweaks, and high quality.
The problem is the movement is kind of blurred. I think it has something to do with the white ice because I also noticed the same slight blur when recording curling.
ASUS make a number of smaller footprint PCs, i have listed them below, the main problem is they all have video cards already onboard (with sound) so has anyone managed to get them FULLY working with GBPVR including channel viewing.
The idea is to put a PVR150 or 500 in so it has the "input" but the sound and video are onboard, they all have VIDEO out as well so this is what the question is aimed at really....
ASUS P1-PH1
Intel P4 up to 3.8 GHz (Socket 775 800/533 MHz)
Chipset: ATI⢠Radeon® Xpress 200
Integrated Radeon® X300 based graphics
AUS Pundit-R350
Intel P4 up to 3.4 GHz (Socket 478 800/533/400 MHz)
North Bridge: ATI RS350L
South Bridge: IXP200
ATI Radeon 9100 Integrated Graphics
There are others like the S-presso but this has no onboard video so i can supply this which i might prefer, but the above look really nice, anyone who has either please own up and tell me what you think.
After reading a lot on the Wikki and the Forum I like to setup this awesome GBPVR software but before I start I need some advice what the best setup for me will be.
I have a pc on the attic (see specs below) running with a pvr350 board controlled by Winvodio software. In my living I use a MediaMvp with the standard Hauppauge software connected to my television. Scheduling I does with reliable http://www.vodio.com and it works OK. Itâs a simple setup but I does what is must do.
My main question is must I leave physical hardware setup as it is? because the MediaMvp does everything with GBPVR except playing DVDâs? Or do I miss something?
Change=takes a lot of time+more noice in the living.
No Change=Less functionality ???
Is it better to switch from PVR350 to a PVR150? Because the detailed capture list sayâs âno longer recommended due unstable hardware decoderâ (switching cost me money)
Is the quickwalktrough enough to configure the Dutch broadcasters? Or is there a lot detailed configuration needed?
Does it take a lot of âuserâ time to keep the program/epg everyday info up to date?
Is it enough to follow the instruction enhanced web admin to be able to do programming elsewhere or do I have to setup a website? Can I use this site also with my PDA?
Are there other things I need to no for a quick and successful setup?
