I'm currently using a PVR-350 with good results, but as with any project I'm ready for more (as in tuners). I am considering adding a PVR-500, but read in the documentation that it is not fully supported yet. At the same time I've seen a number of posts from people using them successfully. So what are the limitations? Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have taken the very well behaved Typhoon TV PVR drivers, and added the wisgostrm.dll file from the version 1.6 TV Walker drivers, giving me an excellent driver set that still supports MotionJPEG and H.263 hardware encoding. You will need to update your go.ini file in the gbpvr folder as follows:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[SETUP-Main]
SupportedDevices=Plextor ConvertX M402U|Plextor ConvertX TV402U|WIS GO7007SB|LifeView TV Walker mini|LifeView TV Walker Ultra|Typhoon TV PVR|Rover Media TeleBox U2
WithTuner=Plextor ConvertX TV402U|LifeView TV Walker mini|LifeView TV Walker Ultra|Typhoon TV PVR|Rover Media TeleBox U2
VideoStandard=AUTO[/QUOTE]

After switching to the Typhoon driver set, the Lifeview TVR application will no longer work, and if needed, the Typhoon version will have to be installed. In my experience, it is not necessary to reboot after the driver update, unless you have also installed the application. Remember, as with any Walker driver update, you must first run the remove.bat script included in the driver install folder before reconnecting the Walker device.

I just posted a new skin based on MediaPortal's Blue Two skin.

http://www.bladerhq.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...inBlueMCE2

Props to MediaPortal for providing really nice images to work with.

I am using a Nova-T card in the UK, and use the Bleb option to get the channels. SOme of the channels are not listed though, such as Sky Sports News, The Hits, TMF etc. Is there an updated version of the bleb file a can download?

150MCE on a 1.6 Duron.

When watching live TV I can pause but the Rewind or FF (when i am buffered) do not work. Also when I playback a recording in GBPVR (as opposed to in media player) I cannot FF or Rewind.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I now got a Nova-T now as well and try to set it up. I configured &quot;All channels&quot; and &quot;Germany&quot; in BDA device configuration. When I try to map the digital channels to EPG channels gbpvr scans 57 channels, there is no preview and I get an exception at the end of the scanning process.

This is what it says:
------------------------begin-----------------------
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** Exception Text **************
System.ArgumentException: '0' is not a valid value for 'value'.

&lt;snip&gt;
--------------------------end-----------------------

Needless to say that I checked the availability of the channels with the Hauppauge software.

I installed a version of mpgmux as suggested but i do not know the version number.

Any help appreciated.

I just got my MVP set up this week, and everything seems to work VERY smooth. Thank you everyone for the great software and add-ins. My measly setup is:

Dell 1.8GHZ p4 optiplex
256 MB RAM
PVR150MCE
MVP
250GB-SATA drive
Buffalo bridge/AP (near PC) combined with Airport Express (near TV/MVP)

Only issues I've had so far have been with My Pictures and the OSD guide. Occassionally it will lose connection with server. Live and recorded TV work great streaming to the MVP- flawless, even with the wireless setup. I had looked into getting a separate box previously with MCE, but no more! There is really very little noticable performance hit on my PC while all this is running.

Can anyone give me specific instructions as to how to get my card working with gb-pvr.
I have installed the BDA drivers, but when I try to map the channels to the epg I get an unhandled exception error as soon as it starts too scan.
In the card selection, I've chosen Nova-T 90002 even though mine is the different model - don't know if i should have or not.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Stuart

Hi:

I used MPV and GB-PVR for only one week. It is a great combination. Thanks for those who contributes to it.

I have a question about viewing live TV through MPV (with GB-PVR server). Everytime when the mini-guide shows at the bottom of the TV screen (e.g. when I press the remote or change the channel), my TV display dims for one or two seconds.

When I view the live TV on a PC, it doesn't have this problem. GB-PVR on PC switches the channel instantly and flawlessly.

Is this normal when using MVP/GB-PVR to watch live TV?

I set the preplay delay to 1000 ms to prevent the live TV from stopping every minutes. Does it have anything to do with the dimming display problem?

Any advice is appreciated.

My machine has:
Dell 8400 MCE 2005, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD
Wintv-PVR 150 mce x1
MPV x1
Buffalo 54G Wireless bridge (WDS)between PC and MVP
GB-PVR 0.90.10
