Hi, am a newbie and would like to setup a dedicated PVR service for the entire house. I was wondering if this is possible:
1 PVR server (GBPVR) with Multi Tuners (possibly 2 PVR500s) and 4 MediaMVPs for each room.
Anyway, is it possible each room with MediaMVP can watch different LiveTV programs since server would have 4 tuners via the 2 PVR500s. Will GBPVR be able to do this. The ultimate goal is I want each room to be serviced by the PVR whether live, stored films, stored mp3s, so that the kids will not bother me when they need to look for a particular film and still be able to watch and record their programs. The PVR machine will be placed somewhere else in the house. Something similar to the VOOM demo, I forget the VOOM website. BTW, I really have no need for any fancy items like HD or anything like that.
If this is a redundant and obsolete question, my apologies, but i couldn't find the proper thread that will explain this more clearly.
Also, will the MediaMVP work with a WIFI network? Just a thought for others who would have more experience with the hardware.
To probably help, this is what I have now:
PC is P4-2.8Ghz with 1GB RAM and 2 150 S-ATA Drives (RAID) = 300 GB HD Space. Have gigabit wired switch and Wireless-G LAN also connected. No tuners and MEdiaMVP yet, but am willing to invest if it is possible.
Thanks in advance.

PS. Nice job on the software, am playing with it although in my PC only.

I'm having a problem with 1 season recording. Using TV Guide I set 3 programs to record for season record, all are on the same channel, 1 after another (SG-1, Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica). When I finish setting the recording paramets and click the 'record' button at the bottom and it goes back to the tv guide, usually, the green guide goes to red to show it's set for recording. No matter what I do, the first show (SG1) stays green but the next 2 show red.
If I check it in Xrecord or Recordings, SG1 is set to record a zillion shows and not the 1 want but all the others are set correctly. I've tried this so many times and it still won't work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I have had a minor problem ever since I started using GBPVR and since it seems consistent I thought I would bring up the issue. Quite often I have the same show occuring in the epg twice but slightly offset, example: Seinfeld 22:30-23:00 and Seinfeld 22:40-23:10. I have checked the actual XML file several times, and I find the XML file only has one(the correct) entry. Any idea what is causing this???
Could it be that old EPG info is not "flushed" by updated information?
Recorded using GBPVR and for first 55 minutes of hour show, everything was fine. During playback of last five minutes or so all of a sudden the video and audio accelerate as in fast forward mode. Runs this way using GBPVR playback or Winamp. I was sleeping so no other apps were running.
PC:
AMD 1600+ (1.4GB) Athlon CPU
160 GB WD 7200 rpm hard drive [8MB cache]-data on 130 GB partition with no other files
512 MB RAM (PC3200)
Epox 8KHA+ mobo
ATI Radeon 9250 video card (new)
I would like very much to be able to start a movie and to go the last 15 minutes (maybe because, I had to stop viewing it here the last time, etc).
Maybe there is already a way to do it, but I did not find it yet.
An easy way could be to be able to use the ProgressBar Cursor (a la VideoReDo) to position the Viewing...
Right now, all I can do is using SKIP (+60 seconds) and REPLAY (-30 seconds). So if there is already a better way to do it, let me know, please :confused:
I know Sub only supports shoutcast for mvp compatability but would it be possible to have the option to play other streams on non-mvp clients?
Alternatively, is there a work around to relay/convert an asf/realaudio stream to shoutcast - icecast maybe? - I know this would take some cpu and ram... - Any pointers on this greatly appreciated!
It would be great if there was some way to normailize the audio in a recorded file - This would be esp. useful if intergrated with comskip/clean and would normalize the different parts individually - I find (in the UK at least) that commercials are much louder than the shows/films...
Tried to get info for Rescue Me and it doesn't seem to be working. A couple other shows I tried are downloading ok. If I input the URL in a browser, I get the expected list of episodes. Here's what I see in the log.

GBPVR - Snapstream Firefly remote - ComSkip and ComClean
Ok......thanks to the loads of help available in these forums, I'm really pleased with my GBPVR setup.
I even have ComSkip detecting commercials and ComClean nuking them with fine results (if only I could detect and delete those Disney in-show promos!!!)
My problem occurs during playback of a recorded show. If I choose to pause a show, the "resume" sometimes skips several minutes.....and I mean SEVERAL minutes.....deeper into the program.
It seems to get worse the later I'm into a show. In other words, a pause in the first 10 minutes of a movie may resume perfectly....whereas a pause 70 minutes into a show may result in a jump of some 20 minutes when I resume.
I placed blame on my FireFly remote at first. I paid special attention to whether I was resuming via the PLAY button vs. the PAUSE button. But both exhibit the same "jump too far" anomoly.
