I was under the impression that I'd have about 3 weeks worth of listings at any given time, but recently, my zap2it listings stalled at this coming wednesday. There didn't appear to be any problem with the update epg function (it runs fine when I update manually, and I assume the 3am updates do as well--it just isn't giving me new listings), it seemed to process. This morning there was finally an addition to the listings, extending them to...This thursday? About 18 hours worth of new listings total.
I logged onto my account, there didn't appear to be any problems, the 'subscription' lasts to november, and there were no notifications.
Does you all have listings further out than Thurs (7pm)? I had hoped to do my programming a couple of weeks at a time. A set it and forget it sort of thing. Is this normal? I'm new.

I installed the Twinham card because the AIW doesnt cut it where I live (rural setting) and am very pleased with the results (reception is stunning).
I am currently using DVB-TV as my platform to watch, schedule and record TV(cant seem to find a website for this software :confused.
I would like to try GB-PVR out.
Is my card, computer system and location compatible with the GB-PVR software?
If so could someone please give me a walkthrough for installing it onto my computer as I am a real noob at this?
Would I need to install any other software as well?
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 http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefr...View/L4207
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).
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.
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.
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:
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).
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 ...
