i wonder if it possible to make the tv window "ontop" or "topmost" or whatever you call it.
sometime when i wanna watch tv, i want it kinda small and in a corner, but ontop of every other window.
is this possible or should i make a make a post in the "Wishlist"?
UPDATE: btw, is it also possible to make it "true" fullscreen?

PS. I know the PVR stands for Private Video Recorder(i think) but what does the GB stand for?
Great Britain?
I've been reading a lot about the latest developments in the skins department and I'm very excited. I'm somewhat confused as to how they all link together if they do.
We've got:
Appearance Manager
BaseSkins
Chameleon
As well as each individual skin.
I feel that lots of people are working on skins with some great overlap.
Can the skin developers somehow summarized what's happened in the last few months?
I use GBPVR for recording only. I noticed problems when other programs are transferring large amounts of data. This causes the video to have missing chunks. I think this has to do with buffer overruns, where the data is not fetched fast enough from the buffers. Now I'd like to know if this is a driver problem or a gbpvr problem. I'm using three Hauppauge PVR150. Recording on all three simultaneously is no problem unless I move a file or do some other IO-intensive stuff, which can not always be prevented. It might help if the recording thread would have higher priority.
Do not order from Buy.com I have been going thru hell with that company. I ordered six Axis 207 network cameras ($250/ea) from them and recieved them fairly quickly. But one of them was DOA. So I called them up and they emailed me a UPS return airbill to send it back. I was thinking sweet.... well, that was a month ago. Still haven't recieved a replacement back. But thinking their RMA dept was just really slow, i placed an order for another 9 cameras last week. Two days later receive an email stating their was a problem with my order.

Your order status can change quickly as we do our best to fulfill your order, and it's possible that by the time you read this email the delay affecting your order might have been fixed. It's also possible that the items you ordered could still be unavailable. To check your current order status, please visit https://secure.buy.com/corp/support/login.asp. From there you can determine if you would like to wait for your items to ship or if you would like to cancel all or part of your order.
So I call them, they don't know what the hold up is. I tell them I paid for next day delivery and if they can't send the order, to cancel it. They said I'd recieve an email stating what the status is later that day. Nothing recieved so I call them the next day and ask for the status. They still don't know so I said I wanted to cancel it. Barely english speaking person says
"Okay we've cancelled it, your CC was not charged" So then I order 9 cameras from CDW. Check the status on that buy.com order and it said "9 requested cancellations".
What do i see today in my email, that one of the 9 cameras has shipped! I called them furious and told them that order should have been cancelled and was told that they could only try to cancel it since it was at the warehouse... WTF? that was a few days ago... evidently their RMA dept is also the one filling orders, oh and the RMA still hasn't been processed according to them. They can charge my CC again and ship a camera out, but they'll take their sweet ass time replacing a product that is defective. Uggg.
I have just installed GB-PVR on a fresh install of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, with all media center services off. This machine is a Dragon from Mythic.tv. KnoppMyth when configured on this box only gives you HDTV outputs. I needed it to output analog so I could watch what I was recording. So I bought MCE 2005 hopeing that it would reconize the pcHD HD-3000 NTSC/ATSC/QAM card that it came with. That didn't work so I went looking and remember that GB-PVR was free and well supported so put it on here. Now GB-PVR is reconizing the card, but EPG is not working. It gives an error to manually run it for updates. Which I already have done many times. I'm using the zap2it account I already had. Here is what I did during initial setup.
1) installed GB-PVR
2) Config auto loads
3) General Tab - Turned off Show in Window mode
4) Playback Tab - Did nothing here.
5) Capture Sources Tab - Added pcHD HD-3000 with BDA recording plugin. EPG source is Zap2it with account info entered.
6) Clicked Update EPG, waited for it to finish and then Oked the dialog
7) Channels Tab - Checked to make sure channels are listed.
8) Clicked OK on config program.
9) Run GB-PVR. Click Guide or Live TV and get error.
10) Go back to config and all channels under the Capture Source are disabled now.
Recently I got one go7007 usb mpeg4 encoder from local auction site. It's a product called Mpeg4 Mate-pro from this company, http://www.vcenter.net, and is relatively low priced compared to Plextor TV402U, The price issue become important when I plan to have multiple ones. I wish I can get it work under GB-PVR.
This Mpeg4 Mate-pro has go7007sb, saa7113 and LG tuner on it. When using LiveTV in GB-PVR, an error "No tuners are available to watch requestes channels" occurs, no matter which go7007 capture device I choose. Maybe it is not a direct clone of any GB-PVR supported device?
Is it possible to add support of this product? If so, what infomation is needed?
Well whenever I try to click OK in the config menu an error message pops up saying i can either close everything by clicking quit or try and continue, but when I hit continue it doesnt save my settings. So all of my configuration settings get lost. I don't know if I need to downlaod something else or what. I have the newest service pack for XP and the .NET download I needed. Anything else you guys can think of that might be causing this problem? Oh yea the error message says a file is unavailable, and I forget what that file name is. Thanks and I'll try and find that filename for you guys.

I'm going to see if I can edit the guide to remove the special chars to see if it'll record then. like apostrophe and ampersand. hopefully it'll still record then based on channel rather than episode name.
I scheduled to record Invasion this week and when I went to watch it GBPVR hung up. I had to kill it. I then tried to view it from Windows Media Player and it also hung up. The file size looks correct. I have a PVR150 and DirectTV STB. Is there anything I can try to fix this recording? Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions would be appreciated?
I've been using a PVR-150 very successfully for few months now on a low spec PC (600MHz Pentium III) with Hauppauge's supplied software. As I understand it (and I don't really understand it that much, I'm afraid) the PVR-150 uses hardware encoding so the spec of the PC doesn't matter that much. I recently got hold of a cheap NOVA-T (post Aug 04) and would love to use it to record Freeview channels along with the PVR-150 and GBPVR.
What I got to wondering was if the NOVA-T will require much more CPU time than the PVR-150 - I believe the NOVA-T doesn't have hardware encoding - and if so, is it possible to use the hardware encoder on the PVR-150 to record the NOVA-T's signal via GBPVR?
I've searched for this topic in a many ways as I can think of and come up with very little, which makes me wonder if I've mis-understood something fundamental.
