I have searched all over the place, but I can't find any settings for enabling colour coding by category in xGuide (e.g. red for movies, blue for news, etc).

I presume it is under my nose and I am just not spotting it.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Ok. The process is actually kicking off but I have no idea what this means. This is what my GBPVRConvert log consists of.

Rating: Looks funny but usable.

The Program details popup is defined in the TV Guide skin file but is also used by Recordings.

In version 94.13 the spacing attribute for buttons required a negative value inorder to have a reasonable layout. This was possibly a bug.

In version 95.11 a negative value is still needed for the popup in the TV Guide but results in a bad layout in Recordings.

The work around is to use a small positive value. It will not look the way you want in both plug-ins, but you can live with it.

When watching TV ( I don't use any other feature) is there a way to turn off all the program info stuff that shows on the screen when changing channels / mouse over ?

I only want the channel number to show for a second as I know what I'm watching. That's it. Nothing more.

BTW, GB-VCR has the only recording schedular that has NEVER ever missed recording something. The Only One !!!!!

Oh, one more thing, on some future release, could you change the install dir to ProgramFiles/GB-PVR ? It took me 20 minutes to find it the current dir (devnz) , and with XP, you can't find it via Properties of a shortcut.

Small problem, but irritating. DISH Network is adding channels in their listings, either new services or additional appearances of existing services with four digit channel numbers (vs the original 3 digit numbers). For some reason known only to the gods of TV, Zap2It automatically adds these to my lineup. GBPVR then obligingly downloads the updated data to the EPG. But there is generally no program data for some reason, we just end up with a new appearance of some service in the EPG with blanks for the program data.

Someone over on the Zap2It forum said that XMLTV has an option to ignore lineup changes but like many North American users I am using GBBPVR's builtin Zap2It EPG updater. Can the update program be configured (or modified in the future) to ignore channel lineup changes unless specifically commanded?

OK, I've looked.
How does one get a task image to show, when DVD is selected (but not activated) on the main menu?

I have just added a nova-t usb2 tuner to my setup.

I am puzzled as to how I set up the tv guide at the moment I use xmtv radio times to get all the programme info for my pvr350,

If I use the dvb-t epg I end up with two rows of info for each channel which is available on both tuners.

Is this the correct way to do it ?

any advice greatfully received

Is there any option or plugin for a preview window ??

SO whilst brosing the TV Guide a small window is showing a sample of that channel ??

Thanks

I am having a few issues with my system.

I have:
Asus Pundit
P4 2.0 Ghz
512 MB RAM
PVR-500
PCI FX5500

Due to the crap onboard video on the pundit I decided to give buying a PCI video card a try. Unfortunetly the pundit has a single PCI slot with a riser card that makes it 2 PCI slots. I'm pretty sure this is a problem.

With the pvr and the video using all the PCI bus even watching TV alone causes stuttering. (not to mention recording and watching at the same time). This is all using VMR 7 & 9. Using overlay works perfect (i'm pretty sure this is becasue the video is dumped right to the video ram)

I dont want to use overlay due to the fact that you cant adjust the aspect ratio while watching videos (In TV i dont care).

Switching decoders has no effect.

Anyone seen a problem like this before?

It would be great if there where a setting so that I could tell the system to use Overlay for TV and VMR for everything else.

Any ideas?
