Hi,
I just installed the latest version of Xrecord (this is the first install). When I click on the Xrecord button in GB-PVR, I get a error message that says that the font "Ariel" does not support style "Regular". Any ideas as to how to get rid of this message? I would like to see how xrecord works.
I have been testing all of the versions of this type of software (BeyondTV, SageTV, Meedio, GBPVR, and ran Windows MCE for a while). The free version is blowing away the competition in the field! (I plan on donating to help the cause).I even bought a new TV card just so I could test out GBPVR (it was not compatible with my Avermedia). I purchased the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 150 and have it running almost fine. I have a problem with the remote that came with the TV card and need some help.
The system I am running is with DirecTV. I have the WinTV-PVR 150 tv card and the Hauppauge remote. (I also have a MCE remote, but it seems to have stopped working properly since I tried installing it on my XP Pro system). My problem is when I hit the Hauppauge remote it changes to channel 4 and that is it. It does change the channel, but nothing else. On my DirecTV channel 4 is nothing, but it is the default channel for the TV. Any ideas on what I am missing on my set up? Or is this remote the best route for this set up? Can I use the Snapstream RJ6-DB9 Serial Cable for the hook up to make channel changing smoother?
This is a great program, but my problem is that the video starts to slow down after watching it for more than 15 mintues. This means that I hear the audio slightly before the video happens. This happens when I use LiveTV and when I use LiveTV with timeshifting. I have 2 tuners set up pvr150 and pvr250. Any Ideas on how to fix this?
I'm a newbie, and I have some questions that I'm sure are answered in FAQs somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find the answers. So feel free to offer answers, or direct me to places with the answers. Thanks.
1) Can I do HDTV recording?
2) When recording, does everything get converted to mpeg2? I mean, doesn't HDTV come in as a digital signal, and can't it be recorded without converting it?
3) Does anything support CableCard, so I can record "pay" channels, as well as other digital channels? (My cable company offers CableCard.)
4) Do any of the cards support component video output? If so, do gbpvr's menus show through the component video output?
5) Let's assume money is no object, and I know how to build PCs, and tweak till the cows come home. (In fact, I'm a developer.) Here's the things I'd like to be able to do:
a) Record from my cable.
b) Record (at least) one show while watching another.
c) Record and watch HDTV (as well as SD).
d) Watch via component video (if possible).
e) Use my Harmony remote to control everything.
Remember that money isn't really an issue. What do I buy? (Opinions please!)
When watching Live TV on the MVP I get a brief (second or two) pause that appears to occur whenever a new show begins. Is this normal or is there some way to resolve this?
Is it possible to display the information from Netradio (Artist / song / etc) to the main menu or vapanel? It is already great, but with this little extra tidbit it would be the icing on the cake, the cherry on the ice cream Sunday, you get the pictures. Or is this already being done?
I've installed the enhanced web admin and have 2 tuner cards : one is a Hauppauge PVR 150 the other is a Hauppauge WinGoTV (software encoder) with the Software Recorder plugin installed.
Once I was able to record shows at once scheduled through the web interface, but now I can't get it to work. It'll record one show at a time using the PVR150, but won't record the second show. I can schedule a show with the web interface and manually set a show to record.
Is there something special I need to do or is this a limitation of the web interface?
