I used the software recorder plugin to make my non-PVR WinTV card available to watch live TV, but GB-PVR still considers it a source for recording. A checkbox and flag in the config?

Very impressed that it all fit together and worked. Hauppauge should do so well.

I've been using WinTV for years. With GB-PVR I miss being able to use the numeric keypad to change channels. +/- or numbers and enter. It's just a different set of keycodes, right?

I am using a Hauppauge PVR-250. I am trying to record of a composite input(DirecTV Satellite).

Everytime I record, the files are not viewable and the file size is way too big.
e.g. a 1 minute recording is 800+ mb

I have no problem watching TV live, I just cannot get it to record.

Any suggesstions on what I should do?

I have yet to find a program other than powerlesscinema that will sync the audio and video properly. I have yet to try recording anything using gbpvr as I only use it to view live TV through the breakout box.

I am also having a problem with horrible interlacing during movement. Changing the options in the control panel only freeze GPBVR or cause the video to go blank.

Any help, any at all, would be greatly appreciated. I've had this card for a month and have yet to get it to work.

Usefull site for finding your local transmitter when tuning your DVB input source and location

Will tell you your local transmitter station and help when scanning for channels (Scanning All Channels/All reigons can not help at times)
There is also a list of Analog channels as well if you need it

Hope this helps

For further info there is also the information on the UK freeview switchover (when Analog channels like analog BBC 1 are going to be switched off - dont panic got a few years left yet and time of post)

Hi there!
I had GB PVR working 100% fine a while ago, but then needed to uninstall and reinstall. All hardware and software is the same as before, when it was working.
I am using GBPVR with the Software recorder and a WinTV Go card and latest versions of all the software, Incl. WDM drivers and video card drivers, which is the same as it was when the program was working.

The first problem is minor...when I use the VMR9 setting, the video appears upside down...if I use VMR7, I'm fine.

Second problem is more serious...The recorder does not work. It doesn't even try to record. It does create the directory for the recording on the hard drive, in preparation for the recording, but then does nothing. Live TV works as does the TV Listings.

I have attached the recording log file as I noted there was an error in there...can anyone tell me why and how to fix??
Thanks!
Mike

When you use the OSD for live tv info, or open the onscreen guide/description, it would be nice to see the numeric channel (in case you're using logos) and the current time.

Is there a method to provide the type of information that's displayed when you play a recording?

If you play a recording, instead of seeing the filename on the OSD, you see the title, and description.

Is there a way to provide that information to gbpvr when you start playing a video from a plugin?

Everything looks good...I can view Live TV. I can schedule recordings. I have set-up two sources.

But when I have 2 recording scheduled at once...I have "conflict" and it only records one.

Any help would be great.
Tom

the title says it all really .. any help much apprciated.
