I have two tuner cards in my HTPC. In the configuration, I have 3 inputs configured.
1. Avermedia M150 with cable TV input
2. Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2; S-video for satellite box
3. Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2; cable TV input
I get slightly better picture quality with the Avermedia; I'm pretty sure because my FM antenna on the Hauppauge device brings in a little interference. When I am not using both devices, I would like priority given to the Avermedia. Is there a way to set this?
ok im upgrading my pvr box currently its an athlon xp 2700 with a gig of ddr 400 ram, im questioning which platform would be better the amd 64 (probbly 3000+) or a 3.0Ghz P4 630 EM64T will probbly keep the gig of ram for now, I currently have a PVR 250 and a PVR 500 and am usually recording 2 shows and watching live tv, also should i look into getting a64 bit os, are there plans for upgrading gb-pvr to a 64 bit application? ideas thoughts suggestions?
I've had a lot of problems with recordings not occuring. I have one PVR150 and one PVR150MCE. It happens most often when two recordings should happen at once. When it happens, it appears to be recording in the guide, but no files appear. If I try to cancel the recording in the guide, nothing happens - the show stays red in the guide. I can go into live tv and watch the show that I had tried to record. I managed to catch it when it happened just now, and am pasting in the logs. Any ideas? GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log is logging lots of errors (see below), and did not post a message about finding a new program for the one that failed. Could there be something there about why the recording doesn't happen?
Relevant parts of GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log here, rest attached

okay, when i first built my computer (dedicated to gbpvr) i bought a 150. now i'm thinking of upgrading the system. my question is this, is a 250 or 350 offer better picture quality than the 150?
for reference:
AMD 2800+
150
a nvidia 5200
1 gig ram
total of 360 gig harddrives
I am generally very pleased with GBPVR, and it appears to create good quality mpeg's. However, I cannot get it to create an MPEG that is compliant to SVCD or VCD standards, despite using the proper encoding criteria. In fact, both Nero and VCDEasy state that the encoding criteria are correct, but describe problems such as bad packets which prevent viewing. With the same encoding formats, the files created in WinTV2000 (which came with my Hauppauge 150) form viewable SVCD's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Why SVCD? I do not yet have a DVD burner, and SVCD is perfect for a half hour program saved to CD, viewed using a stand-alone DVD player. Anyone having problems creating DVD compliant MPEG's with GBPVR?
Is there any way to customize the menu layout? What I'd like to do is have a different set of choices on the main menu that's displayed on the computer and on the MVP (mainly I want to remove the Live TV from the MVP but keep it in the client).
Also, is there any way to change the order of the buttons in the various sub-menus? I'd like to re-order the buttons in the Recordings menu (I'd like to put the What's New at the top & make it be the default).
I looked in the config.xml file but didn't see anything that looked like it would do what I want. Hopefully it isn' t so obvious that I missed it
I have searched the forum and see that there has been some discussion on this but I am not sure what the final status is. There has been talk of work arounds and manual launches but I can't see definative answer.
....So is it possible to launch the screensaver to an external application? Specifically a .src
