Hello All:

I am missing channels (basically everything from 159 to 250) in the channel listing. I am using Time Warner Digital Cable in Brooklyn. When I goto my zap2it listings, every channel is slected. However, after emptying the EPG and updating, the missing channels are still not there.

Can anyone think of what I am doing wrong? One of the channels is 200, which is HBO - so I can't record the Soporanos! lol

Any help would be appreciated.

I've been trying to get back to the half hour point of something I recorded but can only seem to skip forward 10-12 times. After this, pushing the skip or scan forward/back buttons do nothing. I can still pause, play, stop etc and use the other functions.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Greg

My EPG will not update and I'm stuck. When I try to do it from Config, I get the following message: "Your EPG source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG Source Settings and try again." I checked that my username and password for Zap2It to make sure they were correct but still get the same message. I was able to login to the Zap2It site. The following was in the Config.exe.log:

Ok got the card
And it working fine ish
What I was wondering was possible alternatives to the DVB t plus viewer.are there alternative viewers available that would support this card?....

I switched around some hardware in my system (and did a Windows XP repair install) and when I restarted GBPVR, I got this error message:

"VMR9 is not available on this system. Please try a different renderer."

I didn't change the config, so what did I do to make VMR9 unavailable? I tried updating my nVidia driver, Hauppage PVR500 driver, reinstalling the .NET framework package, and upgrading GBPVR... all to no avail.

(Some background on what VMR9 is, would help as well)

For the time being I set the renderer to VMR7 and I don't see any appreciable difference, at least that I remember.

Thanks in advance....

Hi,

When I set the path and "Apply offset when importing listings" to -1:00, it doesn't appear to do aything.

My XMLTV data is out by 1 hr and I need to off set it.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Regards,

Paul

It would be nice to set the timeout of the screensaver on my MVP not to come on so quickly. Could we add a box to the config app to select a timeout for the screensaver? Or is it there and I just missed it?

Thanks,
Greg

I have the .net framework installed, but I can't configure the system, as it errors with not being able to locate "NativeUtilities".
I searched the site, but am unable to find anyone else with this issue.
- System is freshly installed Win XP Pro.
Anyone have any ideas, or have run into this before?

.Net Framework - (File or assembly name NativeUtilities or one of its dependencies not found)

Thanks!

Does the MVP screen location details in the config.xml file, shift where videos and livetv are displayed on an MVP or does it only affect the drawing of the menu?

I tend to find my videos and tv are too wide for the screen.

I've got several 'newbie" questions. I'm not concerned with my ability to put one of these together. I just want to know if it's worth doing versus going through Directv and paying for a service. I'm really interested in doing this myself so please feel free to talk me into it. In the end though, I have to be able to justify it with my wife. Here are some more details of what I'm after:

1. My wife needs to be able to use it.
I don't want 7 different remotes and I don't want to have to use a switchbox or anything like that. A single remote to perform all functions (except initial configuration) is prefered.

2. Needs to work with my existing Directv box (Svideo only).
The alternative to building my own is to buy one from Directv. I like the expandability (via "wikis") of GBPVR but if it doesn't do what I need, it doesn't make sense to build one.

3. No HDTV requirements
I don't currently have an HDTV or tuner so I don't have any need for HDTV support. I'm assuming that this can be build without using HDTV televisions? (I know, this is 2006...).

4. No monthly service fee
If possible, I'd like to avoid a monthly service fee. Will I lose features without this kind of service?

5. I need to be able to watch one show while recording another.
This is a big one because I know that I can do this if I go through Directv. My current satellite receiver probably will not allow this (if it did I wouldn't know where to start). Is it possible to get a second "TV tuner" card that will accept digital over-the-air broadcasts? If so, are these only available in HD format (and will that be a problem playing back on an analog TV)?

6. Where does the TV (S-video in my case) signal come from? Does the TV tuner card provide that or do I need to buy a video card with TV-out capabilities?

7. Do you recommend any specific hardware? Why?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions!
