When watching LiveTV, I notice scan lines or where the video messes up... yet this only happens on GBPVR. I hate the WinTV2000 software for the Hauppage PVR150, and it does fine. I'd use it, but I hate the recording features. So, any ideas on how to fix this? I'm running the Hauppage PVR150 on Windows XP, 1GB Ram, 2800+ AMD 64...
I just got the ATI TV Wonder Elite remote edition. After installing the software, I don't know how to setup the config. II have no Zapit account or any of that stuff. I'm in Canada. I have choose Direct Recording Plugin with the capture card as TV Wonder Elite, Internal Tuner selected. I don't know what to do to get this to work. I am a n00b if you haven't noticed.
2 cards, the pb does not depend on the computer, I made a test.
1 NOVA-T
1 PVR-250
1 : TVGuide record a channel on nova-t
2: TVGuide watch channel on pvr-250
3: press button stop -> main menu
4: recording list/pending + select the record
5: cancel record
6: on tray, led gets red, but gbpvr stay still, killtask to stop it.
I made the mistake of ordering two 150MCE l.p., of course I didn't know the low profile referred to the slot size, I thought it was the board size. So now I need to return them. So on PC Alchemy I found this combo, and of course I'd add a second 150MCE. I want to know if this remote will work or if I need the USB-UIRT deal and use my Hauppauge remote or need Girder.
Has anyone got experience of using two (or more) 90002 nova-t cards in one PC ? Or even two or more DVB-T cards in one system ?
Did this last weekend, have some written notes, but my memory is a bit hazy, but want to post in case there is a simple fix, before I try again this weekend !!!
I did a clean XP install with all updates (I have a ghost image at this point, so can go back if necessary), installed PowerDVD4, WinDVD4 and manually installed mpgmux.ax 5.0.0.727 from FlyDVB-T as mentioned elsewhere on this site.
Put one nova-t in (used v1.3 drivers), got GBPVR working OK. Live tv and recording work OK. (Note: took a Ghost image at this point so I can go back and try agian/check errors if required). I have attached the gbpvr1.zip of all log files from the gbpvr directory at this point.
When I put a second nova-t (90002) in the system and add the card GBPVR config (as card no. 2), I get problems. Didn't get any errors with install on gbpvr config, but when manually scheduling 2 recordings at the same time, first one works, and second creates an empty file. I think I did the gbpvr2.zip at this point. I couldn't get 2 recordings working at the same time. I think, once the second recording had started, it couldn't be cancelled, even after it was timed to stop. I had to restart the PC to stop it.
I also tried the nova-t MCE drivers mentioned elsewhere on this site.
What happens next is a bit hazy because I spent 5 or 6 hours trying lots of combinations of 2 90002 nova-t's and one 90002 nova-t and one 909 nova-t, doing things in different ordersetc.
I got one 90002 and a 909 to record two files at the same time, but it isn't stable. This is how I have left it all week, but lots of the scheduled recordings have failed - mostly empty files.
I have also had lots of trouble getting the channel scan to work on the second card. It either takes a very long time (10-15 mins) to scan whilst mapping channels (obviously something is wrong), and list of channels it finds is wrong e.g. finds all ITV channels lots of times (on one mux I guess), but nothing else. If I map channels again, I get a different set of repeated channels. Or it just hangs.
Sorry the info is a bit short of specifics, but has anyone got any advice before I try again this weekend ??
Have purchased a Black Gold DVB-T card this week, and that won't map channels either - just hangs - but didn't try from clean install.
Sub, will go back to clean install from ghost and try things and get logs if you want.
CAN'T ATTACH ZIP FILES in new thread. I'm sure others have done it !!! will try later.
Hello guys. I really need help from the Masters of GBPVR. I am using the latest GBPVR (downloaded just a couple of days ago) and Hauppauge PVR 150. My OS is Win XP SP2. I can watch live tv and was also able to use my remote control to change channels and such. EPG is working too. But the main thing which is recording a program is NOT working. When I schedule a program to be recorded, the Pending section shows that the program is scheduled but nothing happens afterwards. I have tried it many times but with same result. When I check GBPVR after many hours, it still says the program is scheduled. When I check the GBPVR icon in the systray for the status it says "Capture Device #1 sleeping". Also the files are created on my hard drive but with zero buyte lengths which means nothing was recorded.
So what am I doing wrong? or what should I do to make this recording work.
One more thing, after I do all that and try to watch live tv, it gives me an error "The device is actively refusing connection.." or something like that. I then have to reboot the pc and reintialize GBPVR to watch live tv again.
