I have just installed a Hauppauge PVR 500 on my media center pc, configured it in config, and now, when i watch live tv, the application unexpectdly quits... The channels show up in tv tuning though. Any advice?
hi guys. i've recently reinstalled my WinTV USB2 PVR and GBPVR, and everything is working grand except that the shows come through in chopped off widescreen mode. That is - it looks like it's taping on widescreen mode, but only showing me the center square.
I see that there is an aspect ratio dropdown on the MVP tab, but it's greyed out (does this mean that this is controlled by my WinTV?)
does anyone out there know what i can do, either through GBPVR or WinTV to correct the taping so it comes in as full screen such as when cable goes directly to my regular sized tv.
I'm thinking about adding another Dish networks receiver box to the one I already have.
Here's the config I have now:
Dedicated computer with two PVR150 cards. One of the cards connects to my Dish Network's STB. I have a USB-UIRT configured to change the channel on the Dish STB. The other PVR card is connected to an antenna in my attic. I would use that 2nd card to connect to another Dish Networks STB.
Can the USB-UIRT to change the channel on both boxes? I thought i heard this was doable, but I can't find the topic.
I do know that the DCT 2500 does have an IR port in the back and it IS activated in the system menu. Not sure about the Serial port.
Here is a pic of my config screen:
I has doing Ok with just one digital box and one straight cable, but once I updated GBPVR, the straight cable channels got very fuzzy and would not be in tune anymore. i tried changing the channels to the mhz number, but I never got some channels to work still.
I already have a win XP MCE 2005 box and am fairly happy with mce. Obviously I don't relish paying for it but that has already happened <g>. I have all the usual reservations about MS (I have linux on all my other boxes - but got fedup with the problems in getting mythtv to run. I had an old copy of XP lying around, so only had to shell out for mce).
However, now I have everything up and running in mce (only 10 minutes and a couple of the usual crashes later all was good). I live in Spain but get Sky via a UK setup.
My questions are:
1. I would like to give gbpvr a go. Will it coexist happily alongside mce on the same PC?
2. Can I use the MS wireless keyboard and remote (with remapping if necessary)?
3. What would people say are the advantages in terms of actual facilities/options/add-ons etc?
4. Any reasons why I shouldn't switch?
Thanks for any help. BTW I DID search this and other forums but couldn't find much in the way of a decent comparative review of the two products - mainly just anti-Microsoft stuff with which I mainly concur. (But it doesn't help understand the differences in the products)
If there is somewhere here from the Netherlands here, and you're able to help me out with a small problem, could you please PM me or email me at support@devnz.com.
I'm using the mencoder script as my postprocessing but I'm pretty sure my problem is a local computer setting, just hoping someone might have run into it before.
I seem to be having my scripts timeout. I'm running a 2 pass encode but only the first ever gets completed.
If I run the batch manually it works fine. If I use psexec to run it as localsystem, it errors out during the first encode.
Anyone aware of a timeout setting or other restriction that can be set for the localsystem account?
Does anyone know if there is a way to play a DVD with your PC's DVD drive and have it stream to the MVP the way live TV does...? If I run GB-PVR on the PC it plays the DVD's fine, but if I run GB-PVR through the MVP, the DVD choice is not on the Menu. I installed the xDVD plug-in, and that now shows on the menu, but doesn't seem to do anything when I select it....can anyone out there educate me on this...?? :confused:

Hello, I am a new GB-PVR user converted from MythTV. I am having an issue with my remote. I am using a Lirc homebrew receiver and a Sony remote from my home theater system. I followed the Wiki to set it up and used my config file from MythTV. Everything works great exept when I push any button on the remote it repeats it 2 or 3 times. For example when I push â5â I get â555â. It worked fine under MythTV, so I am not too sure what is going on here. I know with Lirc in the .lircrc file you can specify a repeat parameter and set it to â0â to prevent this. I did not have to do this with MythTV but is there a way to do this with WinLirc or IREx? Is my remote to sensitive? It is pretty annoying when I trying to use the remote. Please Help?:confused:
