OK - so I'm going to build my first PVR. (and I live in Melbourne Australia)
It's going to play DIVX's, MP3's and also act as my PVR. It might play some games somewhere down the track but it's not a core requirement.
I have done a lot of net searches, forum searches and other searches. I have come up with SOME information and i want to give GBPVR a try first.
Questions:
1) I want a dual HD digital decoding solution - the only card I have seen (which would work well in Australia) is:
Fusion HDTV DVB-T Dual Digital
As far as I can tell this card is fully supported by GBPVR and would be a good bet - any comments?
2) I want a Video card to output component 480p (or even better 720p) as far as I have been able to find my best bet would be an NVidia GeForce 6600 based card (although component output is locked to 480p not 720p for some reason). Due to the way my TV works component, progressive scan output is an absolute requirement. Am I on the right track or can anyone suggest a better/cheaper card for this specific application.
I just upgraded to v0.95.16 and when I did, it seems to have messed up my channel lineup. Before updating, I copied the entire GBPVR directory structure to another directory ...can I use anything in there (perhaps the Access database ?) to restore my channel lineup ? If I can't restore the entire database, can I restore specific tables to restore the channel lineup?
While we're on the topic, can somebody please explain how the channel lineup works ? I've tried setting it up a number of ways and it doesn't work - starting to feel like an idiot :confused: I'm using an OLD DirecTV receiver which gets the local channels in the 900 range; so, for example, I get channel 3 on 925. I'd like channel 925 to appear as 3 in the TV guide but pull down the TV guide info from zap2it's channel 925. As such, I thought that on the recording source channel lineup, I'd have channel NAME of 925 WBTV and channel NUMBER of 925 wheras in the lineup on the CHANNELS tab, I'd have channel name of 925 WBTV and channel number of 3. When I do this though, I get no program info for this channel....
How does GBPVR matchup my channels to the Zap2It listing..by channel NUMBER or by channel NAME ?
Lastly, in trying to remove channels from my recording source channel lineup(Somehow I ended up with what appears to be hundreds of channels in the 2000 range), it takes about a MINUTE to delete one channel using the REMOVE button. I have a 3 Ghz processor and woud be suprised if this is the norm...any ideas ? Is there any faster way to delete large numbers of channels ?
When i switch to fullscreen mode with alt+enter, it appears unaligned! (too much to the right and down).
It looks fine when i set it to start up in fullscreen mode, but it can't get it to start up on my secondary monitor (Ati R9800PRO), it comes up on my main screen anyway!
I'm using the latest version.
After not using MediaMVP for a few hours when I then try and use it I hit a key on my remote and the MediaMVP unit flashes but the the screensaver stays on and I get not response. I then have to reboot it with the top key on the left side of the remote. Any ideas why this would happen?
I just recently noticed a handful of channels without audio. i have the 150 and the pvr usb2. i can watch those channels fine under wintv, but in gbpvr they are mute.
