I switched from PVRPowerTray to ParaLED due to stability issues and ParaLED works fine. The only complaint I have is every time I change channels or watch a show from the guide it pops up a MS-DOS window to run RecordingStatus.bat. It disappears after half a second or so, but it's annoying. I've added '@echo off' to the batch file, but is there a way to make the window not show up in the first place?
I know there used to be an option to 'run minimized' but I can't find that. I'm running XP Pro SP2.
Thanks
I am using Windows XP home edition for my PVR and I have a wireless adapter that I am using to keep my EPG updated. I can log on to my router and gain access to the internet with no problems and I stay connected for hours. However, at some point, I always lose my internet connection? Windows tells me I am still connected, but if I try and connect to anything on the internet, I get a message that I have NO internet access. I can log off and back on and still nothing. The only way I can re-gain access is by re-booting... then everything works great for a couple of hours or so until the same thing happens again.
I have deleted all of the drivers and software for the adapater and network connection and re-installed them again and again to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? I did see something in the help section of XP that indicated this might be a problem with XP, but I downloaded the SPs and installed them and it did not help? I'm stumped. :confused:
Does anyone have any comments on the possibility of, instead of buying a MediaMVP (ie to save a few $), connecting the PC to TV directly by buying 15m-20m of video/audio and somehow extending the remote. In particular:
[1] Re extending the remote - Options would be I guess:
(a) to use the remote that comes with your tuner card [e.g. I see a good deal on the TwinhanDTV Ter D+A http://www.twinhan.com/product_terrestrial_1.asp) at the moment] with a remote control extender. Anyone had experience here? Would you recommend this?
(b) extend the PC mouse itself somehow (perhaps wireless mouse with extension cable?) - this might be better as you can then use the GB-PVR interface directly + use other PC capabilities?
[2] Video output - I guess this concept would require (assuming the PC is not dedicated to the PVR function) to using a non-primary video output and directing the GB-PVR program to that screen (i.e. the PC monitor would be primary, with the TV in the other room being secondary). Assuming I was using a fairly standard PC video card would the quality/resolution be inferior to the MVP?
Any comments on this concept re signal quality, useability, functionality, integration with GB-PVR? (e.g. potentially may end up with a more functionality at the TV) Or is this a bad idea and I should just go out and buy a MediaMVP?
Hi,
I can see teletext with the gbpvr application on the pc, but i can't see teletext on the mediamvp (red button). I do see a gray overlay with the page number 100 and a clock. But no teletext pages.
Ever since I rebuilt the OS on my hard drive and installing ver 9408 I have been having recording problems.
(windows xp pro sp2)
I can view the tv guide and use the search feature to find shows. but when I try to do a reoccuring record it doesnt work. It will list the shows under pending but when the time comes to record it will not record. if i have a conflict the conflict screen will not show the conflict. also it I go back to the tv guide the shows i have picked to record don't list in red like it used to.
live tv works and quick record works but not scheduling a series.
Help I'm missing all my late night shows and the new seasons premiers.
Hi,
Thanks for this wonderful thing.
But i am at the end of my knowledge. I reinstalled GPVR and did go thru the config. I understand i have to import my XML file to get a channel name list.
Now i should be able to change Channel source nummer into the one that tuning assitant gave me. But every time i exit the config tool and reenter it the channels source numbers are reset to 0,1,2,...
I have don't it a zillion times tried everything but nothing works, it's as if GBPVR doesn't update its database. I would edit it manually but i don't know where i can do that.
Before the reinstall i was able to change the channel source numbers and it would stay that way.
This should be easy but for some reason it's not working for me.
I've configured the router to open up ports 5800 and 5900, pointing them to my HTPC's statis IP address inside the LAN. I configured this the same way I've already configured gbpvr's web admin to be visible from outside my lan, as well as my ftp server, but I can't connect from work.
Is there another port that needs to be opened that I'm unaware of, like for control? Alternatively, I suppose my work lan could be blocking those ports from leaving our network, but if they are, is there anyway I can figure that out? Tracert doesn't let you check a port, and I have no problem connecting to my ftp server or gbpvr's web interface.
when you bring up the pending recordings, even if you select 'update', there doesn't seem to be any way to find out what channel it will be recorded from. this info would be very useful sometimes.
I'm getting the following error when trying to watch Live TV "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and following the info in the FAQ's I don't have a MPEG 2 decoder...well I verified that I do (CyberLink Video/SP Decoder) and DVD's and all other videos play fine using GBPVR...uninstalled and reinstalled decoder and problem still there...I'm using the latest version of GBPVR along with the Avermedia m150 with a 2.8Ghz P4 and 1gig of RAM on WinXP..any help would be greatly appreciated...the card worked fine a few months ago when I took it out of my other system and had no probs what ever..thanks
It is there on a lot of screens but I wish there was an 'Exit to main menu' especially from TV Guide and preferably all screens. This is necessary because I use Intervideo Home theater remote with which I can only use up/down/OK buttons to navigate. I have to go to the PC to hit the escape button to get me out of TV guide.
