I just got gbpvr work with my wintv150. CPU jumps from around 10% to max when the program starts or when i play live TV, the CPU usage is very normal when i record tv...
Can anyone post the direct.ini settings they've tweaked. Adjusting the brightness helps but the color and contrast are both off. I'm wearing myself out running into the next room to check the changes.
I am experiencing problems with the EPG update which is a bit confusing.
First of all the size of the database file seems to fluctulate wildly, one day it can be 30 mb , the next day it's 120MB? using Compress and Repair tool in access seems to reduce the size dramatically but the next time an update occurs it starts again.
The other issue I have is performance, the EPG update is taking about 2 hours to run? after a clean EPG it takes about 10 minutes , but seems to gain about 15 minutes a day until it becomes intolerable again.
Is it worth doing a clean EPG before the update each morning?, and if I do how will that affect any recordings that have already been made? will I loose the information from within GBPVR?
Is there someway i can tweak the JET database engine to make it perform better?
I currently use xmltvrtc and grab 14 days worth each morning.
It runs @ 5am in the morning so it is not a huge issue, but obviously it is going to take longer and longer and will require some periodic maintenance to keep the runtime down, it would be nice if I could find a way to do this automatically.
Also worth mentioning is that I have a PVR350 card, and 2 capture sources defined, one for terrestial feed and the other on the s-video in which comes from my NTL cable box.
Do other users experience these problems?
Any help would be appreciated.
At CES this year, I've seen all the new CableCard hardware for MCE coming out, that allows watching of HD (encrypted) digital cable on an HTPC. I am not in any way expecting this to be implementined anytime soon, but am just wondering as to whether or not you will ever support it.

::::::::::INTENTED PRIMARY USE OF GBPVR::::::::::
Record/Watch TV
View Photos
Listen To Music
Play all my emulators (nes,snes,gbx,ps,gens,n64)
Rip CD/DVD
::::::::::CURRENT SETUP::::::::::
DirectTivo Series2 (currently recording 2 shows at once)
Standard TV (composite + RCA inputs)
Philips DVP642 DVD Player (plays any region DVD and has internal PAL to NTSC converter)
::::::::::QUESTIONS::::::::::
What is the additional hardware/software needed to integrate the DirectTivo? And what exactly is integrated? (scheduling?)
What would be the best (non HDTV) capture/output card to get?
What Hard Disk configuration is recommended given my "Primary Use" above (raid, non raid, two raids)?
If running GBPVR as a file server as well for a home network, should its connection to the network be wired or wireless? (I currently run a Wireless G router)
