I have one channel where the audio is just static. It used to be fine, is fine on CATV, and can be fixed in Win-TV (but it can't be fixed tuning there and using FreqCopy).

I may play w/ the reg setting next just for that channel, but I wanted to try re-running the TuningAssistant first. Will this screw anything up w/ my current config? (eg, lose any associations w/ DB info, etc) Or will it just re-do the freqencies for the exisitng channels?

Hi there.

Today i´m pretty happy with my pvr150 but the analog broadcast is going to
shutdown and only Digital TV will be available (I live in Sweden).

How is the quality with WinTV-NOVA-T pci compared to the good old pvr150?
Is there maybe another (cheap) solution than Nova T?

OK, I'm in the UK, so when I tried to set up GBPVR yesterday I found I neeeded to use XML TV to get the TV guide. The annanova link in the wiki no longer has a feed, so I downloaded XMLTV. I couldn't get this to work at first, so I downloaded XML TV Radio Times Grabber. I made a xml file with this and set it up as the EPG source in GBPVR, but when i tried to view live tv (or the tv guide) in GBPVR I got;

"No channels have been set up. Please run the configuration utility and setup the EPG source. Use the "Update EPG" button to force the system to import the latest set of channel and programme information"

So I went back and hit the Update EPG button but nothing changed. By this point I worked out how to use XMLTV (I think), and managed to get it to give me an output xml file for tv_grab_uk_rt. I set this up as the EPG source and hit the update EPG button. I'm still getting the message whenever I try to watch live tv or the guide in GBPVR.

I know the card isn't the problem as WINTV2000 is working fine.

Can anybody help? I'm sure plenty of people before me have made this work, but I can't find a simple 'how to' anywhere.

I may well have an issue with my EPG, but i seem to have a few slots in my schedule that have no details except 'to be announced'. if these slots correspond to a program i wish to record then obviously they are recorded with the name 'to be announced' which is not much use. also sometimes i have to make a manual recording if for instance the actual program i want to record corresponds to 2 adjacent 'to be announced' slots in the epg, again the recording name is not much use.

so, my question is what do i need to change in the db to rename the recording to something more appropriate. im also presuming that whatever changes made here would also have to reflected on the physical file/folder locations

thanks

Hi,

I just got gbpvr and so far so good. Can view tv, and i'm going to test the recording in a bit. I have been unable to get the remote working though. Could someone walk me through a checklist of how to get it to work with gbpvr? I've tried setting gbpvr to both happauge and mce remotes. But nothing works. Did a search but I didn't find anything very specific.

Thanks in advance.

I may be missing something obvious, but I can't see how I can play CDs in GBPVR. MusicPlayer will rip them to disk, but how do I just put in a cd and listen to it?

I have a WinTV PVR USB2 (model 941) and gbpvr v0.94.13.

I only get a blank screen when selecting "Watch" to view liveTV. The green "Exit/Quick Rec/RecordWatch" popup screen just stays on the foreground and doesn't go away. I can hear the sound, but am not seeing any video. This happens on both TV and PC.
If I do a Quick Record and then Play back, then I get the video+sound. Not a problem there. I can also play back any recorded shows.
Are there some other settings?

My gb-Config:
- Pre-show padding=0 (default?)
- Capture Source: Direct Recording->WinTV PVR2 USB-> Internal Tuner + Antenna, Medium Quality
- Playback: LiveTV Pre-play delay: 600

I just bought the USB2 box today and installed Hauppauge CD on the PC to make sure that I could get liveTV okay. All was working fine before I started bringing up gbpvr. I still left Hauppauge software installed. I don't think that would cause any conflict with gbpvr?

Any help would be apreciated. Thanks,

D.

Any ideas? I have uninstalled, cleaned it up and reinstalled several times.

Thanks!

I am having a problem when I am watching live TV and pause it, if I later try to fast forward to skip commercials and try to get caught up it won't let me play it after its been advanced. When I hit the pause button it doesn't start playing instead it maked the fast forward faster. In order to get it to play I have to exit out and restart live TV from the menu. Any idea on how to fix this?

I have downloaded and installed GB-PVR twice. It crashes on the config program.

To make a long story short, I went to the service in Services and it will not start the service. It says:

Configuration Manager: A required entry in the registry is missing or an attempt to write to the registry failed.

I tried a repair and it said: encountered an error.

The file was 5.8MB. I don't know if that is correct.

I made sure no firewall or anti-spyware was running or anything that would interfere with registry entries.

Now everytime I try an install it I get a "Fatal Error." I have no log that I can find.

Any help is appreciated.
