ok here we go again...I am finally able to watch hdtv on GBPVR! yeah! but now I'm trying to record it. It doesn't seem to work at all. In fact, it now crashes the program. If i set up a program to record, it just doesn't record it at all, it just makes the file with 0kb. =(
and the other thing I'm having is that since i tried to get the hd stations in my list, they were working for about a day,now they just seem to have dropped out
I don't know, if this is a real bug, and if I'm mistaken, please tell me... I experience following problems with this otherwise great PVR soft:
1) Czech Republic is missing from the country list... I have to select GERMANY, DENMARK, POLAND or ROMANIA....
2) To get sound properly here, only ROMANIA works... I have found out that PVR software has problems with our TV norm and stereo sound... Have to switch it to mono to sound properly. Romania solves this one in GB-PVR...
3) The above might not be that annoying..... But GB-PVR switches tv norm to NTSC-M on any bootup, which is a real pain..... I have to use GraphEdit each time I boot up and select proper norm manually (PAL-B)....
Would be GREAT if fixed in new versions....
Big salutes to the developer. Keep up the GOOD work!

Ok. I've searched and read several threads about simular problems but nothing recent.... Here my problem: I have just added a second card to my system and I'm having a recording problem. The first device is on cable and the second is on a sat dish. Live TV works great. IE. I pick channal 3 from cable and it picks up the correct card to record it. I pick channel 200 and it picks up the other device and again it works great. Now when I'm trying to record (not livetv) something off cable (channel 3) but it's trying to record it off the wrong device.
Device 1 - PVR150MCE
Device 2 - PVR350
Anyone have any ideas why livetv works but recording does not? I'm using the latest version of GBPVR (94.13)
Is it possible to stream video from another DVB application such as ProgDVB or RitzDVB via GBPVR to the MVP? My PC is in the study where it runs RitzDVB using my Twinhan DVB-S card. Can I use GBPVR to stream the Live TV from this application to my MVP in the greatroom?
Thanks in advance... Great work on this product by the way!!!
My config:
Videocard: Pinnacle 300I (DVB-T)+ Pinnacle PCTV(analog secam), Windows XP-sp2 (last) on two partitions (one just for PVR). Installed Codecs: Pinnacle, Dscaler and ffdshow (desactivated), no errors in com objects and directshow, athlon XP 3200+ 1Gb ram, stable system.
I use Pinnacle Mediacenter, MediaPortal, GBPVR.
The problem:
When viewing direct tv, everything works fine. When i use timeshifting, i got artefacts in images all the 10/20 seconds and drops or noise in sound in the same time. The proc is showing less than 20% usage in the same time, and half of my 1gb memory is free. The folder where i record is on a sata disk and lot of space anough.
Same behavior with MediaPortal, but timeshift work well with Pinnacle mediacenter.
I'm looking to cancel my sky+ sub and switch to freeview (DVB-T). I was going to try and build a mythtv box until I came across this site just recently. It seems GBPVR might be just what I was looking for. I have a couple of questions and was hoping that someone might be able to help.
It seems that GBPVR has roughly the same feature set as sky+ for record and playback - Does anyone know of any big differences between the two systems?
If I build a box with, say, 2 Nova-T cards - do I then also need a card to supply video to my tv?
Can I run of of those MVP boxes in another room while the GBPVR box is being used?
Can I watch live tv through GBPVR? / MVP? / both at the same time?
I already have a Network availible storage system set up via a linksys nslu2 slug. Can I use a disk on this system for recordings or is that asking too much for 100bit ethernet?
Lastly, Can I use any remote to control the system? I would like to use a sky+ remote to keep it easy for my wife to use.
Enhance the layer that handles the tuner card support to be more flexable to supporting new cards. I'm not sure how MediaPortal supports so many cards, but I believe it is mostly because of the way they can add support by putting a graph in a file. MediaPortal has the best tuner support I have seen, but gets a failing grade in the PVR features.
