The reason I ask is because I have a PVR-150MCE (internal) and a Lifeview TVWalker Mini (USB2.0).
When I run GBPVR with BOTH devices installed (and using the Lifeview device to record - I checked the tray status), GBPVR invariably crashes (on the PC or MVP, it doesn't matter), particularly when it is "recording" LiveTV on the USB device.
If I remove the Lifeview device and run ONLY the PVR150, the GBPVR setup is stable as a rock. I have tried multiple combinations of Codecs and Muxes with the Lifeview device installed, as I thought "this must be Codec related". (The Lifeview device works OK through its native TVR, when that alone is used).
It's not that it doesn't work at all, it works for a little while, then (normally after trying to change channels), just gets "stuck" (freezes) on teh TV Window or MVP, although the green icon just goes on showing "recording"....
Before I spring for a 2nd PVR-150 card (to keep my wife happy, she is tiring of my nocturnal attempts to get it to work) is it likely that the USB2 device is simply asking too much of my system?

Wish I can have a small PIP window for SecurityCam, Weather, Calculator, Address Book and other plug-ins while watching LiveTV and/or any recording. So I don't have to leave what I'm watching just to check out the other plug-ins.
When setting up the zap2it settings, it does not allow me to select which guide I want. On my zap2it account, I have 2 listings setup. 1 for basic cable(71 channels) and 1 for digital(200+ channels). How do I pick the listing I want? When I tried other PVR software, it usually asked which listing. BGPVR automatically selected the digital listing, btu I wanted the basic listing.
Looking for assistance to get Emuzed Maui-I support. I have seen other threads about Emuzed cards, but not this one. I am currently using MediaPortal, but it is still too early in software development and doesn't do what I want.
So I was wondering what I would need to do to get it working. I didn't have to install any drivers since they were already included with XP.
Once I get his working, I can't wait to get an MVP and try that with GBPVR.
I am using AV-710 audio card with digital out. Anytime I use FF or RW during playback, I lose audio and the only way to bring it back is to reinstall the card driver which involves several reboots. I tried different audio drivers for the card, all with the same problem. I saw a similar problem in the forum, but I am not sure if it is the same problem. I am using powerdvd 5 for video and Envy24 (card driver) for audio in GB-PVR config. Help please!
I have been running off of the onboard SIS video chipset for a while (Shuttle bareboes PC). I have grown to dislike the video out for countless reasons. My question is, what is the best video out card that I can use? My TV has SVideo, coax, and RCA inputs.
I have read alot about the VGA converters and what not, but I am unsure as to what my best options are. I would like to have full OSD and all of the other advanced features that GBPVR supports.
I had two DVB-T recordings finish at the same time (not sure if that is a factor). I have dvr-ms set as my BDA muxer option and auto-convert to mpeg2 also set. I got a popup box with an error (I've seen this once before).
The GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log shows...

The GBPVRConvert.exe-native.log shows no errors and it looks like the transcode actually did take place as I have a playable mpg file in the folder but the dvr-ms file wasn't deleted.
When I use the XMEDIA Skin (exellent work BTW!) I get an error trying to access my music. It loads the plugin and then gives an error.
I am running a mapped network drive as my music source directory.
For some reason it works no problem at all in BlueMCE2 (but that skin is impossible to read on my old CRT 26" TV).
Thanks in advance. I have to reboot the pc due to a different problem of the MVP dropping the connection and gvpbr.exe running at 98% CPU until reboot. I will post the specific error when I can reconnect.
I got this weird error that I can't seem to fix. If you take a look at my attachment (a Screenshot of the error). I get this when I press record or when I schedule a recording. Only get the error when it actually starts the recording. If I cancel it asks to retry and it starts recording the show. But I can't cancel it. Or I can't stop it.
I have a PVR150 card and everything else works fine. I can pause live TV no problem.
