Hi all,

I am a new owner of an ATI 550 pro . Although GB-PVR works overall, I have a slight problem.

All my recording so far play back with blocks in the bottom part of the screen. Also the picture is displaced, with the image apearing at the bottom part of the screen, with the bottom bit cut off.

has anybody an idea how to fix this problem

Many thanks

I have some shows I recorded in MCE (before switching to GBPVR). I am able to view these files when I have Sage installed, but when I uninstall Sage I loose the codec to view them. I also can not view the recorded files in GBPVR. I realize this is a codec issue. Can anybody recomend a codec pack with the ability to watch MCE files as well as those created in GBPVR? I was looking and saw a bunch of codec packs.

Thanks.

Whenever I try to pause or I hit record, I get "Starting Timeshift mode TV. Please Wait." Then I am taken to the main menu, without entering timeshift mode.

When I unchecked the "Use Live Preview mode if possible" box in the Misc tab of config, I cannot even watch TV anymore. Now, when I press "Live TV" in the main menu, I get "Starting Timeshift mode TV. Please Wait." Then I am taken again back to the main menu, without entering timeshift mode.

Can anyone help?

Newbie here, did a lot of reading about software, hardware before taking the plunge... Bought a MediaMVP from at CC, and a PVR-250BTV from pricewatch for about $60. Looks like that was my mistake, the BTV variant seems to be a 'Beyond TV only' card.

None of the drivers would load from Hauppauge's web site, but Snapstream had drivers that did work. GBPVR does not recognize the card... Is it possible this card will never work with GBPVR?

Anybody want to buy a cheap card? :o

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Larry

Hello, I have been searching through the forums trying to find out what I need to change my set up for Sky Digital (Satellite provider in the UK). I currently run GB-PVR with a Hauppage 350 off of terrestrial boadcasts, and have had some success. However, I am about to embark on a journey into Digital TV and this is the only option for my geographical area.

I would like to know what the options are hardware wise. I have been looking at DVB-S cards, but would really like to have the ability to record more than one channel at a time (plus it seems this may not work for all channels). I have also seen mention of some kind of cabling for controlling the reciever but really could do with some help.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm moving my PVR setup onto my small mini-itx machine. I've installed GB-PVR and everything nicely, but the problem is that no video plays. I've tried playing DivX and the audio seems to play, but that's all. I've tried playing a show I recorded, but nothing shows up. The screen display just stays on the folder view.

I'm using a Via SP13000, and Windows 2000. I've installed DirectX9, and all of the videos I've tried played fine in VideoLan.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks

So a couple days ago, my dad was watching tv using GBPVR, and then when he was done, he turned off the tv, but did not exit live tv on gbpvr. The next day (about 24 hours later), i realized what had happened. By then, the picture was all shot up (i think the tuner can't handle that much). Anyway, i was wondering if it's possible to create some sort of auto-exit from live tv after like 2 hours without anything touched on the remote. So if the user has not done anything, then it would default and return to the main menu. How does that soudnd?

I see a problem displaying XRecord screens using the XMedia skin, which I don't see using the Blue skin.

If I go to XRecord the XMedia skin presents the color remote buttons (yellow, blue, gree) along with what they do (View, Lock, List). So far so good.

If I then go down to and select the Scheduler option on this screen then it puts up a list of recordings, with the top of the list being 'Add Entry', which is highlighted. However, this 'Add Entry' and highlighting transparently overlays the line from the previous screen -- i.e., the color buttons and their meaning. If the buttons are meant to be kept for this screen, then the 'window/list' beginning with 'Add Entry' needs to be shifted downward.

I have played several shows on both my 350 and MVP...

GB-PVR autoskips commercials at slightly different times on the MVP and 350.
The MVP autoskips about a second earlier then it should.
The 350 seems about right, maybe starts a little late and end a little late?

Is this just me?

I'm having pretty good results with comskip but I have a question on fine tuning the final result.
Let's say the the txt file that comskip generated has the following final list:

Then I notice that #6 is not a commercial, its a false alarm.
Can I just delete that line and renumber the remaining line numbers without corrupting the results?

Also if I notice that a commercial break runs a few seconds into the show like #9 can I just edit the end:192919 to end:192819 or something similar?

thanks a lot
