I am looking at buying a HDTV (not till after Christmas when the prices should fall haha). But I am doing some research on em now.
I was just wondering about how I can get HDTV signals to my GBPVR then to my HDTV without losing quality.
I know there are HDTV tuners out there. But I have 3 regular NTSC tuners right now and use my video card (fx 5200) tv out (svideo). If I add the HDTV tuner, I will still be able to use the other tuners, right? Are you able to change the inputs in GBPVR? Say I am watching Tuner 1 (non hdtv) and I goto a change that is hdtv, can I switch to Tuner 2 (HDTV)?
Also about the video card - can the 5200 handle hdtv singals? It has a DVI output. Will there be some quality loss there?
It seems that UK Sky TV have implemented a new viewing policy that requires the user PIN to be entered if you want to watch an 18 cert movie that starts before 10:00pm.
While I think this is an excellent idea if you have a family with young children, it gives me a major problem if I want to record something with an 18 cert if it starts before 10:00pm, as there is no way to send the PIN code via the channel changer (I use USBUIRT).
Anyone have any suggestions?
This is preventing me from recording some really cheesy (and funny) B-Movies from the Horror Channel, who always seem to start them at 9pm.
I remember some time ago there was some discussion of auto-play next. If I have multiple recordings in one folder, GBPVR auto-plays the next recording in the same folder. Is there a way to do this?
While we're on the subject, how about auto-delete, or a "watched" flag (eg. I could tell from the program listing if I've already watched a redording, or if I've partially watched a recording (could be a simple color code scheme, green haven't watched, yellow - partially watched, red - watched)?
I am in the process of rebuilding my pvr. But after reloading the os (win 2k server) and GB-pvr and .net etc. When trying to configure gb-pvr i get this message:
Microsoft.net Framework
An unhandled exception has occurred in your application.
Any ideas??? I am stumped. I tried reloadind everything??
I have no access to a terrestrial TV signal and so rely on Sky for all TV. Do any of the supported TV cards change the sky channel for recording or will I have to do it manually.
Hello...
I have a Hauppauge 500 dual tuner card and have currently scheduled 8 half hour shows all in a row. Since I have GBPVR set to record a minute before and two minutes after, there is a 3 minute time frame where both tuners will be recording at once (correct?). My question is - If I have another show set to record within the timeframe of the 8 half hour shows, will GBPVR make the adjustments on the start and end times to allow all the shows to be recorded correctly? (Currently no conflicts shown)
The first alpha of the caller id plugin is posted on wiki. You need a modem (I need to find one) you need to install YAC link on caller id wiki page.
When you click on the plugin it will NOT show the call log (yet) it just shows a example that skin developers can use to test the positioning of the data.
Please let me know if it works. You will have to edit the config.xml manually to add a video plugin. Instructions on wiki.
