I'm looking to put together a GB-PVR/PVR-150/MediaMVP setup to kind of try out GB-PVR. I currently have a regular SDTV with basic cable coming directly for the wall. I want to make sure a understand the basic setup correctly.

Basic cable -> PVR-150 coax input
Computer with PVR-150 -> Router
MediaMVP -> Router
MediaMVP -> TV S-Video Input

Does that look about right?

The other question I had was regarding the remote. Apparrently the MVP can come with either the old Hauppauge remote or the new 45-button one. Does the GB-PVR/MVP combo work fine with the new 45-button remote? And if my MVP comes with the old remote, can I get the 45-button remote separately and have it work fine (and with little difficulty)?

I am currently building a PVR with a Hauppauge PVR 150 card with the remote and IR blaster because I use an external Dish Network receiver. This card does not have an FM tuner and I was wondering if I could use the FM tuner from a WinTV-Go-FM in this system? Or does GBPVR even support this on this card. Also could it be used to watch live TV from an alternate source like cable or an antenna (I know it won't record because it has no encoder)

Thanks All

it would be nice if gbpvr had a splash screen on loading, telling you what is currently being loaded etc.

It would be nice to see the following settings available within Live TV via a right-click:

Screen Aspect options: 16x9 or 4x3 selections
Preset window sizes: Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Full Screen
Keep Aspect Ratio option
Record options: Until Stopped, Unitl End of Current Show, 30, 60 & 90 ,minute options
Stop Recording

Hey there,

when I try to start GB-PVR or the tuner application, I get an error ConnectPins failed. After that an error comes that some VideoOut pin can't be connected to a VideoIn pin (I'm not at home at the moment so I don't have the exact error msg). The tuner application will joyfully scan the frequencies after the error, but ofcourse the screen remains black on all of them.

Searched the forums, but it doesn't look like anyone experienced this problem before.

Any ideas?

TIA

I have a PVR150, when playing an AVI file it is clearer in Media Player 10 vs playing it on GB-PVR video library. Does anyone have the same problem?

Don't know if anyone else noticed that the comics plugin is broken, but every one goes to a 404.

I did a search to see whether or not the PVR 500 is supported by GB PVR and couldn't find any info. Does anyone know if it is or not. I was going to buy the PVR 250 but for another $20.00 I bought the PVR 500 not thinking if it would be supported or not.

I also got the mediamvp for $99.99 with a $20.00 rebate from circuit city if anyone is interested. And as long as we are on the subject I don't think I've seen anything to the subject of having multiple mediamvp's on a network. Is it possible to have three tv's with a mediamvp connected to each and only one machine (with my pvr 500 provided I didn't screw up and it is supported) running GB PVR?

Thanks guys.

Hello,

Is it possible for the TV Guide to display *both* the channel numbers and the channel name/number? When I enable icons with the standard blue skin it seems that the TV Guide replaces the channel name/number with the icon instead of simply augmenting the display.

Please forgive me if this question has been asked before. I tried searching but I didn't notice an answer.

Regards,

Darryl

I now have 5 capture sources but when I bring up the systray Recording Status box I have only 4 listed - the bottom of the four has an expanded area where 5 should be but its just a grey area with no text.

Capture Source #5 is working (well, 'something' is recording something at the moment) but #1 -#4 show sleeping.

Anything I need to tweak?

Cheers,
Brian
