After selecting "Blue"-Skin and upgrading to version 0.9 I can't start both the config-utility and gb-pvr itself.

What can I do to use gb-pvr correctly?

It's a little snippet of the whole error-message. I can send the complete message per Email (2390 lines).

PS: It is a .NET errormessage: &quot;Unhandled exception...&quot;

How this works?
Also, which buttons are supposed to work with gbpvr? I have the new 45 buttons silver remote. I tried to change channels but does not work. The live tv guide works, but does not scroll.

I'm considering putting together a website that would be a collection of all the different skins and themes for all the assorted HTPC systems. I would like to design it similar to themexp.org. I plan on having the skins be user submitted and able to be categorized by HTPC and category. With each skin I'm thinking 4-6 screenshots, description, version supported, format (widescreen, fullscreen, both), author, and maybe more. The authors would retain all copyrights to the skins.

May I take the skins already available for GB-PVR as test files while I am desiging the site? I haven't been able to find any portal or gallery applications that can meet my needs so I'll be writing the code from scratch.

What other information do you think I need to include? What other suggestions do you have for such a site?

Thanks for your responses.

Hi All, I'm new here.  I live on the East Coast of the United States and have Dish Network for my satellite provider with an older Echostar 3700 receiver.    I recently had done some research into TIVO, Replay TV, and Dish networks PVR.  The monthly fee involved I think is a total rip off as well as the limited functionality of any of these machines.  So I began some research into building my own PVR and came upon this site.  GBPVR seems like a great app.  I can't sink a ton of money into it right now but I have a PC I can dedicate already.  I just want to avoid getting started and realizing I need to buy two or three more things than expected.

What my needs are now is to buld a PVR that will play DVD's, record programming, and control my dish network receiver.  

PC Spec
PIII 700
512mb RAM
40GB HDD
DVD ROM
Windows XP SP2
10/100 ethernet
onboard video (no s-video out)

Is this a box that I should even think about getting started with.  If it is am I correct that I need a PVR card and another video card with S-Video out?

I am looking at a Hauppauge PVR-150 with the remote and IR blaster.  I read that the .90 version of GBPVR supports the blaster in this package, has anyone tried it with the hardware I have?  The other thing is the video card..  Will anything that has S-video out work?  I'm not building any sort of gaming rig so I'd hit ebay or whatever to find a cheap card that just works.

Thank everyon for reading my post.  I'm just fishing for some advice and experience others have had.

Thanks
Thomas G.

This isn't a major issue, I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this.

I'm finding that with playback of recordings done from digital channels using my Nova-t that the sound and video lose sync. It usually only happens after a FF. It's the playback not the actual recordings. If I stop it, then restart and select Resume, everything is fine. I'm 99.99% this is only happening with the recordings from the Nova - I haven't seen it with any done on the PVR350 or 500.

Cheers,
Brian

Can anyone give a concise definition of demux and whether i should do it/use it (i think there is a .bat file by someone)?

This is a weird one and has only started since the upgrade to .9.
What happens is that a show that is scheduled to record records but the show continues to list &quot;recording&quot; well after the show has completed. This causes all other programs not to record and if you try to watch live TV, even after cancelling the recording I get the error
&quot;Error: No connectin coult be made because the target machine actively refused it&quot;

Restarting the the recording service fixes the error above.

Anyone else run into this?

This week, I recorded a couple of shows and for the first time, the recordings were NOT listed in my recordings list. They are on the hard disk in mpeg2 files but I can't seem to get to them using GBPVR.

Does anyone know why this happens/what I've done wrong?!

Thanks in advance!

Hi. - I've just upgraded to the latest version (0908) and I'm using a Hauppauge Nova-T PCI card. I'm receiving excellent signal quality from my Tv aerial installation (I'm a rigger) and all Freeview channels work ok when I'm using the latest version of Showshifter DVB. However, when I try and tune in Freeview with GB-PVR, it seems to miss out most of the multiplex frequencies, so I'm only pulling in about 10 channels or so which are mostly radio ones. Does anyone have a solution? - My local transmiter is based at Llanddona, Anglesey, Wales. Thanks.
