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.

Thanks for your help,
Tim

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

Great software!

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.

First,

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?

Greetings,

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 haven’t 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.

Thanks for everything in advance.

Just recieved a m150 and popped it in my box.

I also am running a pvr150.

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?

Thanks in advance for any support.

Hi all -

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?

Can I get some advise?

Thanks,
Andy

Hi. I've been playing around with gb-pvr on my new Sapphire for a few hours now and I cannot get it to play LiveTV properly: there is audio on all channels, but no video. The card works fine with both Power Cinema and Beyond TV.

Help! And thanks...

Hi all.

I was wondering solutions people are using to locate their ISP assigned IP in order to access GBPVR web admin.

My problem is this. I don't have a static IP. So every once and awhile my public IP changes. I'm looking for a way to collect my IP from my web based router and e-mail it or post it in my web space provided by my ISP.

Any ideas? To access my router it requires I enter a password but no username. I tried IE's "make page available offline" feature, the setup a Auto FTP program to send the file to my web server. This almost worked. But the file that arrived at my webserver was just a internet shortcut rather then the web page it self. Apparently I did not find the actual HTML doc on the HD. I'm not sure where it's located.

Help and suggestions is greatly appriciated.
