I just installed gb-pvr last night for the first time. Was very impressed with ease of setup but ran into a problem. After setting up my Zap2It account (I am in the US), I clicked the "update epg" button in the config menu. Window opens telling me that system is retreiving listings from zap2it. After about 4 min. the message changes to "processing listings..." It has stayed in this state for over an hour with cpu at 100% but does not appear to lock up system. Running with firewall off.
Thought the problem might be that the zap2it server was too busy but tried it this morning with the same results.
Please help. This is my third PVR program and yet to get one fully working. Have tried Beyond TV, Meedio and now GBPVR.
Thanks in advance,
Bill

hi i waqn t ot down load gb pvr but the website doesnot open i even tried google search for some alternate locations but all in vain kindly help me someone
1. Philips proteus card that uses WDM
2. Sigma Designs Xcard (for outputing to TV screen)
3. Celeron III 1.2GHz
4. RAM = 256MB
I have managed to configure the capture card by installing the plugin for WDM drivers. I was able to watch videos from my composite input on the computer monitor by clicking the "Live TV".
The problem arises when I changed the configuration "Hardware Decoder Device" to Sigma Designs Xcard.
GBPVR was able to output the main screen to the TV, and I was able to navigate every button. But when I tried to click the "Live TV", there was an error message "Error: undetermined error"
The same problem occurs when i clicked the DVD sign. The error message: "Error: External Component has thrown an exception".
I have installed Xmedia to verify if its a faulty Sigma Designs Xcard, but the Xmedia was able to play the DVD.

I was wondering why i can't change the order of the video libraries. It doesn't matter what order I put them in, it will always put a network folder ahead of local folders. I even tried reversing them in config.xml and it still displays the network one first. Any ideas on how to manually set the order?
Please make the mute button work! I am trying to boos the Wife Acceptance Factor, as all married guys do (or at least should try) and believe it or not the mute button would increase the WAF significantly!
Had a streak of bad luck... my main PC blew it's motherboard after a year of instability; next PC (a celeron 900mhz) I was trying w/ an MVP due to hardware issues.
Now, my wife has offered her laptop for use as our GBPVR unit.
I'm thinking I can put a large HD in an external USB enclosure. But I can't afford to buy a PVR USBII device for input.
Is there anyway to get my existing PCI card to work in a laptop?
- through a USB interface of some sort, or a PCMIA card "adapter," or something like that? I'm doubting it, but thought I'd ask!
