If I'm not mistaken, if you delete a recording, it will just return if you restart, or at the next EPG update. If that's true: Is there a way (or way to add) the ability to do a "Seen It" for a single reocrding (that is part of a reoccuring group), that doesn't mark it as watched (so the next occurance can be recorded)?
Zap2It has the episode of Lost scheduled for 3wks from now as being on tonight (next 3wks are actually repeats). If I just deleted it, it would have returned when I did a restart this afternoon. If I mark it as Seen It, I won't get it when it actually airs. If I suspend the Reoccuring, I may forget to turn it back on.
I believe you can edit a file manually to do this, but it may be nice addition via remote if possible.
Btw, did you get your asking for the house after all?
There seems to be an awful lot of threads related to the remote control configuration.
I use the Happauge PVR350 tv tuner and the remote control that shipped together with that. It is neither a 45 button nor a 34 button as you can specify in the GB-PVR Config but a 43 button remote. The 45 button seems to be pretty close to what I need.
However, I would like the Radio button to map to the FM Radio and the Pictures button to map to the "My Pictures"-plugin.
The default 45 button mapping says:
RADIO={f6}
PICTURES={f5}
but that does not do it for me
I've also tried stuff like combinig several commands to make it enter the correct item on the menu. Such as:
RADIO={home}{sleep(500)}{ctrl}{5}{sleep(500)}{enter}
suppose to mean something like - go to main menu | go to the fifth element | enter
For me this would be a really nice feature, don't know how many other users this affects.
I use zap2it in the US, and everytime the lineup changes, the conversion into GBPVR fails. To get the download to work I have to mess with the zap2it and GBPVR settings. While this is a pain, I can cope with it. The real issue is that there is no (visible) notification that the EPG is empty or that the import to GBPVR failed. I only notice it when recordings I expected no longer appear in my ready box. If I used the guide or live TV this would be different, but as it is I just use my pvr to rack up shows to view later.
This has happened twice in the last month, so it is not all that uncommon. Anyway, would be great if in the next recording panel, or something similar you could get a GBPVR type messages like EPG empty or EPG Import Failed.
I like to record in english and my wife in spanish.
We have two dish network receivers with one set to play spanish audio and the other to play standard english. Essentially a dedicated spanish sat box and one for english.
Is it possible to specify which tuner card will record specific programming? Can live TV specify which tuner?
I understand the basic function of GBPVR to grab the first unused input/card. Can I instead specify which one for the purposes SAP (secondary Audio Programming)

Sub,
In attempting to play either FM radio or Web radio I select the channel, and then hit OK, and get:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Interestingly, the error is at MyPicturesPlugin.GBPVREventViewer.Notify even though:
1. I'm in the radios plugins, not MyPictures.
2. The MyPictures plugin is installed, but deselected in Config.
I'm running 94.13, and using the MVP for playback with the Blue skin.
Logs are attached.
Many thanks in advance.

I'm going to be reinstalling windows.
Is there a prefered way to save all my scheduled recordings, config, settings, zap2it info, anything else i'm forgetting, etc and restore it after reinstalling windows?
I recently ordered two PVR-150's because of the IR control they have.
Further reading has taught me that the PVR-150's from Hauppage can not be controlled individualy (ie. zoned).
What are my options for controlling two SAT boxes from Dish network at the same time?
From my reading I think my options are:
Use USB-IRT in conjuction with one of the PVR-150's IR emitters and select the appropriate control for each sat/pvr150 component.
Use the Zone function of the USB-IRT to control the two dish boxes. (does GBPVR support the zone function of the USB-IRT?)
Is this possible?
Is it possible to blast the two dish boxes with discrete codes? Dish1 or Dish2? Do the dish boxes support this? One is a Dish 2700 and the other is a Dish 4700. This would allow me to use one blaster for both.
Hi guys! I have recently started using GB-PVR as a replacement for the Hauppauge UI for MediaMVP. The Hauppauge UI is so poor and laborious that the MVPs have been pretty much unusable. With GB-PVR, at last I can use them!
So, firstly and most importantly, well done on a brilliant UI. Hauppauge should be paying you for keeping MVP alive!
I've been visiting SHS's Hauppauge site for some time trying out improved UIs. I'd come across GB-PVR a while back, but didn't consider using it as it seemed to be centered around the PVR cards rather than the MVP.
I've had an old-type Hauppauge Nova-T PCI card for longer than the MVPs, but only recently were drivers released that I believe (and hope) will work with GB-PVR. It was this that persuaded me to try GB-PVR, and discovering that that it is sooooo much better than the Hauppauge software just for running the MVP regardless of any PVR card.
So much for the background. Now to my wish.
I need to be able to navigate around quickly and smoothly. Consequently, Page-Up and Page-Down are vital. I can use them from the keyboard with GB-PVR running on my PC. But, for Music Library and Video Library, I can't get them to work on the MVP using any of the buttons on my 34-button Hauppauge remote. I looked at the key mapping files for music and video, but neither have the functions defined. (Well, music does, but these look like they've been added, and I guess it's for Music Album as I was able to remap them fo that.)
I have successfully edited the key mapping files for the "My Pictures" and "Music Album 2" plugins, and have Page-Up and Page-Down working on the MVP for these. So, is there any chance of making Music Library and Video Library (in base GB-PVR) use mapped keys for Page-Up and Page-Down so I can map them to buttons on the remote. (Perhaps they are already mapped, but just not in the mapping file. If that is the case, can you tell me what they are called, please.)
The working of Page-Up and Page-Down is clearer (IMHO) if the last entry on a screen becomes the first entry on the next after a Page-Down (and vice-verca for a Page-Up).
Finally, when an entry is selected, Page-Down seems to use that entry to determine the paging rather than the first/last visible line in the pane. I fond this confusing. I'd like Page-Up/-Down to be relative to the pane and not affected by the location of the "cursor".
Sorry to go on, but, as you can probably tell, speedy navigation is very important to me for usability. The MVP is sluggish at best, so needs all possible mechanisms that help moving around faster.
This is my first post, and I'm still getting to know GB-PVR, so forgive me if the answers are already available or obvious.
