Hi all,
I just installed my PVR and the only problem i am having is this:
When i watch live tv, after the program ends, the screen that shows forward, pause, rewind etc (and the show timer bar at the top) comes on, and then the whole computer locks up. This happens every time i watch something on live tv. Everything else works fine, and i can watch the show fine (using all the features) till the very end.

This is my specs:
PVR 350
P3 - 1200
asus tusl2-c motherboard
windows xp home

Thanks to all who respond, and i will be around looking so just ask any questions if you want, also

Kyle

Hi, I have the program working great now with very few bugs, except for it dropping off and searchibg for the server sometime when I am using the MVP.

I screwed up the program while trying to install the time warner skin. I tried to re-update the program and did not get anywhere so I went back to the previous version. I have now moved back up to the current version, however I now have a lot of what I think are junk files in the GBPVR folder. Things like GBPVR tray.exe-3. As long as everything is working well, can I just trash all the -2 and -3 files?

Thanks for the great program and support boards.

I new this and I was wondering if I could get some help with vb.net

I have two questions, but first the setup:

1.8 GHz Celeron
256 MB
WinTV PVR150
MediaMPV
Analog cable


1) Playback through GP-PVR to the computer monitor and the MediaMPV are both stuttering. Live TV and net Radio are fine. Any thought on correcting this?

2) My recordings seem to be a bit fuzzy (some horizontal broken lines). Recordings from the Hauppauge software (WinTV2000 look ok). Any thoughts here?

Thanks!

There was an article on Slashdot a while ago about this. But you know Slashdot, more than 3/4 of the posts were off topic. So what is everyone here planning to do about the Broadcast flag? How do we know what HDTV card to buy for our PC before July 1 that will be best supported in the future?

I know that some organizations such as the EFF are doing "Make Your Own TV" sessions. But they are doing it with Linux and MythTV. What about Windows? And what about something that isn't difficult to configure, as MythTV usually is?

I cant seem to clear this error: It locks GBPVR (black screen output) about once a day, seems to happen when going to live tv most often.

and records the following in the log:
10:37:07.218 VERBOSE DirectShowHelperPVR350:etTransparency(157)
10:37:07.218 ERROR SetGlobalAlpha - IKsPropertySet->Set IVAC_OSD_GLOBAL_ALPHA failed

Anything I can try/turn off. I am running XPSp1, .net 1.1, directx 9.0c and have tried various combinations of 350 drivers from shpvr. Should I upgrade to SP2 apply the .net sp1 fix? I have local play turned off. Buy a seperate card for video out? Wait for a patch?

I also notice a WMIAdapter event 4099 in the system logs. Open of service failed.

Thanks for any thoughts!!

I made a xml file with tv_grab_de_tvtoday... but this doesnt work when i would like to see livetv... how can i get work my gbpvr? please help me, thanks

Okay, I have a problem, and haven't been able to figure it out so I figure somebody with more .NET exeperience than I have can point me in the correct direction. When trying to access a file on a network drive by launching a shell command, I'm getting a .NET security exception when trying to read files from a directory. If I run it though the debugger it works fine. I've tried a couple of different ways to get around it but so far no luck.

Any hints would be appreciated. A working example of code would be helpful.

I don't know if this is possible, but can a "disconnect from internet" be sent as a command from a program? Or perhaps be done via "scheduled events", etc.? I'd love to have my computer auto-disconnect when my program guide stuff has finished downloading. As it is now, my disconnect is a bit of a gamble. Since like most folks, I have dial-up, I'm concerned about all my internet time being burned up doing nothing.
Thoughts?
