I just spent 2 hours re-force-installing my gfx drivers on to get the video out working, only to realise when I run gbpvr I get the window border displayed on my tv because its an exact copy of whats on my monitor........
I have set the taskbar to autohide etc but what can I do about the blue bar at the top..
whats more annoying is my gf card has no overscan settings for desktop clone mode so I have a black border around it as well...
Playing an avi with media player makes the card do its 'dvd max' and the video out is then the playing avi file, even if I cover media player with the web browser the video out is still fullscreen with no borders.
(thats why I keep this old card, I have 3, you get fullscreen uninterupted playback on tv out and can do what you want to the vga out)
I have no hardware problems so my dual tuning issue is driver related.
So, I have done a search around on the web and it seems my cheapo card (tevion) is fairly generic.
Its conexant 2388x-xx and seems to have an i2c tuner frontend(ie the rectangular tin box bit the aerial goes into)
If that sounds like your card, can you email me your drivers or a link etc to where I can get them, and I'll see if I can get to the bottom of this with a bit of driver butchery.
Either one works on its own, but install two and one of them (either in position 2) and it wont scan/tune.
I'm guessing but maybe the 'device' number is not making it through, but then I would expect card2 tuning commands to tune card1, and thats not happening.
also GBPR if recording from card 1, then I click live tv, says I can 'not watch live tv' or 'watch what I'm recording', as though the 2nd card is not installed.
That may be user error on my part, or due to the fact that I cant map channels to card 2 as I cant get it to find any when it scans.
Can I be naughty and copy the card1 channel mappings to card2 so that gbpvr will try to tune a channel without the scan procedure? I know thats not the right way to go about this, but it would help me do some investigation into this, by seeing if its just the scan thats failing or tuning.
I had a look in the folder for ini files but found no channel mappings to butcher.
<edit> forget the channel mapping butchery, just found in another post its a tad dikifult.
I'l keep trying random things till I hit paydirt.
<edit2>
ok I tried this....
Setting both capture devices (mycard1 and mycard2) to a device number of 1, then editing the channel mappings for card 2, scan brought up all the channels using (hw)card 1, then I pressed ok and quit config, re-ran config and changed ID back to 2, quit config, re-ran config to make sure it all looked ok, so good so far, seemd to have tricked it into using card 1 to set up channel mappings for card 2.
ran GBPVR, it now sees 2 cards and I can record off 1 and try to watch live TV off card 2, but no I get a blank screen.........
So, I have either failed in my setting up of a fake channel map, OR, two cards is not looking good........
#1 making it possible to select which tuner records which show would come in handy with hdtv and analouge tuners shows ya wanna keep (hdtv) show ya just wanna see once regular analouge channel (although that will be over in three years
#2 somehow configuring a plug-in for a simple lirc serial ir reciver ppl can use any remote

just spent a week putting together an new pc (had some hardware problems) and now i'm doing my first gbpvr install. really excited but i ran into a problem.
when i press livetv, i get "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
the troubleshooting FAQ says i might not have a compatible mpeg2 decoder, but i've set the Playback to use nVidia decoder (PureVideo).

Just like the old version i am having problems with duplicate recordings...
At first when i updated to this version everything was fine.. like your update said ( and like you said your update would do )
Now for some reason i get the same show scheduled to record in like at 12:30am then 3:30am...
(run a search on my other post) if you dont remember...
anyone have any ideas?
