Hey.. hope you get your networking protocals up and running soon.. the new homeplugAV will preview in a couple of weeks. (homeplug.org).. I am really looking foward to this new standard.. I being networking some commerial building with homeplug already and it works nice..
if you not familair, it a powerline ethernet tech.. that has a transport rate of up to 100megs per second.. the next generation vcr, dvdplayer, pvr and tv's are to be homeplug compatible.. the big advantage is no more cabling.. just plug the appliance into the wall and it instantly locates and connect to the internet, and other multimedia devices.. that they find in your home.. best thing of all why saturate your air waves with 2.4 or 5.8 ghz signal when this will do it just as well with less dead spots... right now I can not punch 3 rooms over with the wireless but easy does it with a homeplug..
This is confusing me big time. Tues. night I recorded a programme on BBC2 and came to watch it later - the picture was badly 'snowy' kinda like the aerial wasn't plugged properly (sound was fine). I checked the connections on the back of the PC but they looked OK and a couple of other recordings that day (on other channels) were fine. I didn't pickup on this being a BBC2 issue until Wed. night when I recorded 3 programmes on BBC2 and all had the same snowy appearance to the picture. Last night, one recording - same thing and another late AM today.
I just brought up Live TV for BBC2 and all is OK as it has been at other times over the past few days after I discovered the snowy recordings.
Unable to change channels in GBPVR when using dtvcontrol exe and a serial cable. GBPVR will open program but not change channels accordingly. I am able to manipulate the external tuner when controlling with the utility, but not when used through GBPVR. I have downloaded the latest version but still no luck.
I,m fairly new to all this but have recently got gbpvr set up on a shuttle xpc system displaying on a 28" widescreen tv. Everything works brilliantly apart from i can't get rid of a 2" wide on either side vertical black border either in windows or gbpvr. I am using the shuttles onboard S3 Graphics/Tv out and have also tried a Radeon 9200 with the same result in any selectable resolution. Windows has set my tv as a generic television but i think this is wrong as it surely must need to be widescreen with a resolution selectable to suit a 16:9 display?? Has anybody else had this problem and is there a fix??
What channels are available in the UK via "Free-to-air" digital satellite transmission? Do you effectively get the same as with DVB-T/Freeview or are there any extras? Just curious really.
I gave up on GB-PVR a while back because I could not get it to change channels with my IR200L, it works fine in Beyond TV and SageTV. Has anyone been able to get this combination working since? I see there is a way to use an external plugin now, how hard is that to get working?
I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution to my problem. When I record a show and play it back, it looks like the image is torn from the upper right corner to the bottom left. It does not happen all the time, usually when there is a lot of action going on and only for a couple of seconds. I do not notice it when veiwing live television.
