Now that the guide downloads contain ratings and genre, etc. it would be great to be able to search by them. For instance, I want to see a list of 'movies' so I can pick the ones to record. I REALLY like the web interface, so my preference would be for it to provide check boxes for things like 'drama', 'movie', TV-14, etc.

(It would also be helpful to have some sort of status display when reloading the EPG after emptying it. I have a decent PC - XP 2200+ and DSL and it took at least 15 minutes to download it all. A newbie would surely think it was broken after that long.)

GBPVR gets better and better and each new features begets another one... ;-)

The volume stop working around 20 mins after installation of version 95. The

remote control volume won't work either. When I play a video file, the resume

prompt popup is made of two red x's side by side.

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
