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.
I would like the thank 'sub' for his help with what I "thought" I could do, but was obviously wrong.
Currently I get my TV through a DirecTivo box, so that means that I am a Satellite subscriber.
I do understand that the capture card that I have PVR250 does not know anything about satellite signals. (thanks sub for explaining this)
Since I will need a directv reciever to get the signals and decode them, does anyone have a reccomendation on which reciver I should get? It would have have output to svideo and audio so that I can plug those into the capture card.
Are there any "tuner" cards for us satellite folks that work with directv?
This is my first post...I have been lurking around here for almost a year now as I studied this HTPC design/concept.
It has been an exciting challenge and I want to thank everyone in this community for their patience and helpful attitudes toward others and their generosity and time to help others in this hobby.
There is a wealth of information here and I am very respectful of the moderators of the forum and developers of the GBPVR software.
I havenât tried other programs but instead settled on GBPVR early in the process based primarily on you guys.
As stated ...this is my first HTPC attempt. After almost a year of study and four months of actively searching, learning and buying/assembling gear/components...I put it all together in the final assembly last night.
I only have one immediate question/problem and that is posted in a separate topic "avermedia m150 appropriate driver".
Aside from that...everything is up and running without a hitch so far.
I still have a lot of work to do however.....now the tweaking begins. And I expect at least several weeks/months in just tweaking the registry and individual components, drivers, applications, patches, software etc....
I have yet to connect to my Toshiba HDTV RPTV display...I am using a small test TV on the bench for now in hopes to get most everything stable, primary PC talking to the HTPC via wireless and everything playing nice before moving the HTPC box into the theater room
I know I have a lot to learn...and at the expense of being a nuisance...I will probably have to ask a lot of questions and plea for experienced guidance.
I hope that I can be a valuable addition to this brain trust and offer my limited (but growing) experience to everyone here.
Everything except the m150 is installed and working so far on this new/first time build.
Any help in respect to locating/installing/configuring the appropriate W2K SP3, m150 driver/HW/SW would be a great help. I hope to get it right the first time.
I did find the post concerning editing the .inf file but nl info on the drivers to facilitate GBPVR.
Are the standard WQHL drivers on the aver site the right ones? Which release? Am I better off using the Hauppauge pvr150 drivers instead?
I am not a computer idiot, but this PVR is all new to me... and well, with Direct TV and TIVO falling by the waste side.. I thought I would try to make my own.
I have a spare PC (P4 2.2 with 1 gig of ram and 2 80 gig HD's) I thought that this would be a good machine to start with.
I bought the Hauppauge 250 (since it was on the list)
I installed a fresh copy of WinXP Sp2, got all of the updates, installed the capture card and I have no little yellow marks in the device manager.
So... here is where I sit.
Currently ... I am using a Dual tuner Diretivo unit from Hughes... and I would like to be able test the new PVR PC.
I thought I would be able to split the sat signal and put one of the lines into the PVR PC just for testing... but I am getting snow...
Then I thought... well.. I would have to split the signal coming out of the reciever, but that goes to the TV.. so I think I am confusing myself?
