Do you guys know if there is anyway to get my tv to automatically switch to av2 when I turn the tv on? My gf is not very happy with the new setup because she says that before if she wanted to watch tv she could just turn the tv on. Now she has to turn the tv on, turn the computer on, switch the channel to av2 and then start the live tv thing.
Now I want to make it as quick and simple as possible to watch tv when she turns the tv on. I can leave the computer on, it's just the problem of having to change to av2 (which is a scart connector linked to a s-video cable that goes into my graphics card) everytime the tv is turned on. I thought that if I turned the tv on first and then turned the computer on the tv would "detect" the input signal and switch to av2, but it isn't doing this. It also means having the tv control out just to switch to av2 everytime.
I have some movies and videos in the Video Library that have 2 languages, one on each speaker, so left speaker is one language and right speaker is another.
When I view these on a dvd player it's fine because I can select "mono left" or "mono right" which would play one speakers source onto both speakers.
Can you add a feature to do this? Thank you very much for such a great program btw.
I am using MaxRecord to limit the number of eps that I keep on my machine. However, it seems that RecTracker records these eps as recorded and will not reschedule them, even though I didn't watch them. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
Well I think it is finally time for a clean install of GBPVR. My VAPanel doesn't seem to be working correctly along with small other items. I have had it up and running for 24/7 for the last 9 months. What is the best way to do this w/o losing my recordings database? IS the main file to really be concerned about the gbpvr.mdb? Are there any other files I need to copy?
Otherwise I was planning on uninstalling GBPVR, deleting the directory it resides in, and reinstalling it, placing plugins and skins back one at a time. I think I have accumulated quite a few files which are no longer needed.
Over time I have botched installs and just learned the process of installing plugins and other components so I'm sure some of the problems I have are from me learning the hard. All in all it still works very well and I just have small problems which I would like to get working.
Do others do a fresh install from time to time after tranisioning through quite a few of the core updates?
When I select a show from the guide I get the option to "Quick Record" or "Record". What is the difference betwee "Quick Record" and "Record"? I have Blue MCE with the Comcast TV Guide Plus skin for the TV guide screen. Quick Record works OK but when I select Record I get an error message 'object ref not set to an instance of an object'. :mad:
When ever I try to enter timeshift mode, I get the error "Error: Object reference not set to an instrance of an object." Live TV runs perfect.
I have tried a lot of different things like reinstalling all my TV tuners (1 x PVR250 and 1 x PVR500) and reinstalling gbpvr. It didn't do any difference. I use overlay manager for output.
I'm running Windows XP, SP2 with plenty of HD and memory. I'm very new to GB-PVR. I attempted to follow the Quick Start Capture Source Options, but when I clicked on Update EPG, I get the message "Your EPG Source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG Service settings and try again"
I'm using Zap2it, and have registered with them. The Recorder Plugin is Direct Recording Plugin, the EPG Plugin is Zap2it, and Channel Changer is No Channel Changer Required. I use a Hauppauge PVR-250 card, and set source to Internal Tuner. I believe I should see all the channels which Comcast supplies when I click Update EPG. Instead, I get the notice that the system is updating the program listing, but the message above also appears, and everything stops.
My PC just reboots when I try to use the "Map digital channels to EPG channels" button in "Edit Recording Sources" for my PCTV 300i DVB card.
After the crash and reboot there's does not seem to be anything helpful in the log files (see below).
I need to do this because E4 and E4+1 were recently moved to a different frequency and/or transponder - so when I try to record from these channels all I get are zero length files. The other channels are OK and I also had do a rescan DEC-2000T DVB box for the same problem.
I've tried the following without success :
* Manually shuting down GBPVR service and tray before running Config
* Clearing out the EPG
* Deleting and reinstalling the latest drivers for the PCTV 300i
* Deleting and recreating a new recording source. Even after rebooting and hitting the 'Map' button again I get a message "GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device you have configured. Check the device is configured properly, and not already in use", then after hitting OK I get a Debug Assertion Failed error (I have screen shots if it would help). If I then hit 'Abort' and restart Config it starts to bring up the preview window and then reboots. It also corrupted the GBPVR.MDB by creating an 11.5MB file filled with zero bytes.
* Restored backups of GBPVR dir and even an old image backup of drive C:, so I can only assume this problem occurred sometime ago.
* Upgraded to latest GB-PVR (GBPVR09310.msi).

I'm new to GB PVR and have been setting it up to play with my Hauppauge Nova-t PCI (90002) Model 909 here in the UK. The
I have two separate problems at the moment
1. When I scan for channels using GB PVR I only get about 5 of the 30 available. The Hauppauge appliaction picked up all 30 and plays them fine.
2. When using the GB PVR I am unable to launch Live TV getting the error 'Unable to load DLL (hcwirblast.dll)'. This file is not on my computer, not on the hauppauge CD, although I have a number of other DLLs which seem to be part of the Hauppauge suite
I'd be grateful for any advice.
