does any one know anything about tv antenna splitters? just plain old vhf/uhf channels. the only one i could find in nz that also amplifies the signal is

and well i dont know anything about this kind of stuff, so i was hoping someone could tell me (from the specs) if it was worth the price or a waste of money. my signal is pretty crappy (a couple of channels are black and white on my 150, the 350 is much better).

TIA

This is kind of just an anololy: I can play a file w/ 5.1 audio encoded, but if I play a DVD, it treats it like TV and as a 2.1.

I have a audio card just doing direct spdif to the receiver which detects and plays it perfectly, except the DVDs. I even have the patch wire running from the CD playeer to the audio card.

Maybe the nVidia decoders are getting mixed up somehow, since the video files are divx/xvid usually, so handled by other decoders. But I'm still open to XP settings or the hardware arrangement somehow.

Very low priority as I don't own a lot of DVDs, but I had it right before, so it's just eating at me a little.

Hi

Could it be possible to calibrate the colors of the screens before sending them to the MVP? It would be cool to be able to adjust the intensity of red, green and blue.

My MVP goes crazy with the reds...

I reformatted my computer today, and I'm trying to set up GBPVR. (I did have GBPVR before I reformatted, too.)

I have a Hauppauge PVR-150, and I'm using the current version of GBPVR, since I just downloaded it a couple hours ago.

When I try to watch LiveTV with GBPVR, I get a box that says "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." I've played around with some things in the Config, but I just can't get this working right. Oh, I set up my EPG, and everything seems ok there. It detected all the correct channels and stuff.

I did some searching on this forum, and I decided to try turning off "Live Preview Mode". After I did that, when I tried clicking on LiveTv, it said "Starting timeshift mode TV. Please wait." and then it gave me a box saying, "Error: Failure playing back file."

By the way, I installed WinTV, and that is working fine. I can watch TV using that program, so I know my capture card is working fine. I just like GBPVR so much better though!

Can anyone help? I'd sure appreciate it.... Thanks!

PS~I tried to post my GBPVR.exe log file, but it told me my post was too long. :confused:

I manually created a .txt file with cut points. I determined these using VirDubMod. Then I ran comclean from the command line. I get this output:

I had problems playing the video as it said I would. What is the problem? Can it be fixed?

Is there an RSS feed for this forum?

Thanks

Something strange is going on. I've got a relatively new fresh GBPVR install and I keep getting 'wrong' EPG data.

I've tried configuring XMLTV manually to download an XML file and then point GBPVR at that, but I'm still getting wrong data.

The really wierd thing is that (for example), tomorrow on local channel 13 there's supposed to be two episodes of Prison Break in a row. When I was using zap2it directly, the download was showing the first episode as an episode of Nanny911. When I flush the EPG (using both the configuration gui as well as the command-line option), and reload it using the xmltv XML file, now the first Prison Break episode is correct, but Nanny 911 shows up in the second slot. I've manually grepp'ed through the entire xmltv.xml file, and there are NO references to any shows by the name "Nanny 911". Where in the world could the bogus EPG data be coming from? Worst case I may just totally uninstall / reinstall GBPVR. We'll see if that fixes it, or if many it's a problem with my zap2it account (though as I said, when I manually inspect the xml file downloaded by xmltv, it appears correct, just the data is wrong once gbpvr imports it).

Hi,

the cutting points are handmade with VirtualDub, but when viewing the
movie within gb-pvr he shows ca. 20 secs of the commercials and then
jumps over it. it seems that gb-pvr not exactly jumps at the found frame ...

i dont use comclean 'coz mpgtx.exe didnt work with my mepg stream ...
i just let gb-pvr jumps over the commercials ...

Hey y'all...
I was hoping to build a PC based on a fanless VIA mobo, but considering what I saw on various posts here, it looks like the CPUs are going to be too weak to handle 2 or 3 tuners, as well as serve AVI files to my MVP, etc...

So my question is 2 fold. First, what do you think is a good CPU to play AVIs on the PVR + the MVP (possibly simultaneously) and handle 2 or 3 tuners

Also, what solutions do you know to make a silent PC... I read about fanless power supplies, but have no feedback on those.... I know I could buy a koolance case and go liquid cooling, but do you know of cheaper alternatives that would also be very silent?

All ideas and input welcome. The goal is silent, and powerful enough. Small size would be a plus, but not a major requirement

Hi,

Using MVP, BLUEMCE2, Music Player 2.01 plugin
Hi I'm getting the following message when I try to go to the jukebox after having started a track:

"C:\Program....\music player\..\background.png"

OK

From there I cannot go anywhere, I have to restart the unit.
