First of all, thank you for the excellent GBPVR. I used to run something called myhtpc a while back that was similar, that one vanished and now GBPVR replaces it with brilliance!
The question:
Is it possible to use another codec than the elecard one when processing to xvid? If so, please let me know. If I understand it correctly it's the de-coder codec that is being used when processing to divx (?) and on my machine I already have the Hauppauge codecs (InterVideo NonCSS) and the PowerDVD codecs as well (Cyberlink). Could it be possible to change from the elecard ones to one of these to be able to get rid of the dreaded elecard logo that appears on the xvids.
I had the gbpvr display on my MediaMVP up once for about 10 mins. After restarting, it has never come back. I get the 'connecting to servers' on the screen for about a minute then back to the lame MVP videos/music/radio screen.
I've tried 'auto start servers=1' and manually running the gbpvr mvp server. I even upgraded to the newest gbpvr (which killed all my pvr card configs and recordings ) and I still can't get any display on my tv.
My question is, what log files can I use to debug this problem? I don't have zonealarm and I"m on the same subnet.

I have a WinTV PVR150 and a WinTV PVR250 USB2 setup on my pc. I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage the guides for both. I read the multiple pvr troubleshooting page but there are a few things I'm not clear on.
It says if you have one digital box and one analog cable, setup respective pvrs to do one each. I went to zap2it and added another digital cable lineup to my profile (now one cable and one digital). But when I go to the channel setup in gbpvr config and press update EPG, it pulls all channels for both PVRs. I 'disable' channels 1-76 on my digital one but whenever it updates, it enables them all again. Not to mention, when I go to the analog cable one, I have the daunting task of disabling over 700 digital channels one by one (there's no multiple hilite feature). Do I have to create another zap2it account for digital?? How are multiple lineups handled? By the way, my 'map digital channels' button is always greyed out.
The idea is that if "everyone" contributes with a few words on what HTPC setups they are using, we can build up a library of good (and bad) hardware combinations.
If successful, I think this might be a very good tool for the community, especially for people (like myself) who are in the process of spending some money on a new rig... If not successful, well it only took a couple of hours to set it up.
I've got a Kameleon 6-in-1 that I am using with GB-PVR through a USB-UIRT. The problem is choosing the best remote code which enables enough buttons. I thought the 'Sat' class was the most suitable, and searched for a code that transmitted a code when the 'Play' button was pressed. I found one (0610) that seems to do most buttons, but the nav keys seem slower than others i've tried, and the 'skip' buttons don't work. It's the best i've found yet though.
I use PVR 250. I need a guideline how to setup close caption, please. By the way, my screen has a white dash line running on top of record tv. Does it involve? I've never seen in previous version of gbpvr.
I have a dual tuner card. I figured out how to record one show while watching another show.
But how can I record 2 shows (1 one each of my 2 tuners), but also watch the channel that is being recorded as its being recorded? Is this possible? When I try to watch the channel thats recording, I just see a black screen and have to press ESC to get back to the main menu. Or do I have to wait till the show is completely recorded before watching it?
In the wiki it lists rewind as Ctrl-R, but I've been informed it's actualyl Ctrl-D. Someone might want to update that. I tried, but you need to login or something or other.
