Hi,

I have the Typhoon PVR USB which is similar to Lifeview Walker (G07007 device). It's not working with any of the G07007 settings. Can anybody tell me how I can add my card?

Edit: Sorry...wrong name of the card in the topic...

With Sub away for a while I thought I would do some research to see how many other people are experiencing this problem,  this might shed some light as to the cause and a possible solution.

Here is what is happening:

I launch GBPVR and select LiveTV.

If I don’t change the channel it will work fine and the file (Autorotica_2_20050202_18001900.mpg) in the LiveTVBuffer folder will continue to grow above 20mb as the show is being watched.

Now if I change the channel a new file is created in the LiveTVBuffer folder reflecting the name of the new show:
(Winter Revolution_2_20050202_1800200.mpg).

If I stay on this channel the file will grow to ~20mb.  Then the screen will flash and a new file is created in the LiveTVBuffer folder named:
(Autorotica_2_20050202_18001900-2.mpg).  The channel doesn’t change and the show being recorded is correct, but the name is from the previous show before I changed the channel.

If I continue to let LiveTV run the same thing will happen when the previous file reaches ~20mb. Then the screen will flash and a new file is created in the LiveTVBuffer folder named:
(Autorotica_2_20050202_18001900-3.mpg).

This will continue to happen with a new file being created with an incremented number at the end until I exit LiveTV.  If I return to LiveTV and don’t change the channel everything is fine.  It only happens after I change the channel.

This happens on the PC or using the MVP.

Anyone else notice this or have any ideas for a solution??

Capture Card: Hauppage PVR 150 PCI

My Equipment Config: DishNetwork DVR522. Capture card hooked up via cable coax splitter before TV. I've also tried Composite.

I bought this card because the DVR522 is nearly impossible to pull videos off. Also most of the DVR's require service. I previously had a PVR 250 USB2 which went back to the store 5 minutes after I witnessed the quality (horrible).

My PVR 150 works better and I prefer the direct PCI interface over troublesome USB. Yet I'm still getting interlacing problems at higher resolutions. My whole point of buying this was to capture DVD quality from my DVR recordings saved in my DVR522 so I could edit and then burn them to DVD. When I play back the saved MPEG's I can clearly see interlacing, especially in high motion scenes. The only way I can get rid of it is to drop the resolution to VCD quality or half-d1. This is sensless since I already had an old WinTV which could do that flawlessly. I want DVD quality!!! (sigh)

What can I do to de-interlace these recordings? Otherwise I'm taking this PVR 150 back to the store. I've tried the WinTV2000, GB-PVR, SageTV(don't work at all), DVR3 (don't work at all), DScaler (bad lag on recording). GB-PVR records but I still see interlacing.

I've tried every combination of CBR/VBR and resolution possible with this card. Like I said the only thing that works is VCD or Half-D1, both poor options for what I consider high quality.

Is there something I can do or should I get rid of this card?

TIA,
Krehator

Its not ideal timing, but I'm going to be away for a few days. I'll be back Tuesday.

I will try to check in if I find any internet access, but otherwise you'll need to fend for yourself for now.

Hey sub or anyone else out there, my observation is that 0.90 seems to use the remote.ini file differently?!? I don't see a section in remote.ini with GBPVR. How do I configure the remote file?

Any word on when you will update the manual?

I just did the upgrade and all seems to work. The speed on a chan change is great now. I only have one problem, Now that I can change the chan I find that after about 5 to six chan changes the video starts to lock up. The sound is fine not going out of sink just the video. It seems to lock for a sec and then come back in sink with the sound and then lock again. It will lock about every 3 to 4 seconds for about 1 second. All othere things seem fine I think? I have not tested a recorded show yet I think it is only the live TV. If I close the TV and go back to the guide and then reopen the TV it will play fine. It is only after I have changed the chan a few time s that is starts to lock.

Thanks for your time.

Since the MCE 2005 IR blaster won't be supported, can anybody reccommend any preffered remote with a compatible IR Blaster.

download: My Pictures 2.0.1.0

My Pictures now uses a database to store the thumbnail images, so if it finds an image without a stored thumbnail it adds it to the database, once the thumbnails are in the database the thumbnail loading speeds are greatly increased.  Ive also added a "scan" option in the config app, so you can scan the virtual root for all image files and it will create thumbnails that way, which i recommend.  for small images you wont see much of a difference, but for large images, a couple of megs or so, you'll notice a big difference.

if you're not using C:\program files\devnz\gbpvr as your gbpvr directory, you need to change the connection string in the config (just change that value, ignore the rest).

find any bugs, have any requests let me know.

databases are wonderful things...
hey im up to 1000 posts, thats a lot

I've (at least temporarily) gone back to Snapstream, because their web interface gives me the ability to set a manual recording to a specific minute. I could not program tonight's Happy Days reunion and ER, because ER starts at 8:59, not 9:00. With BeyondTV I made Happy Days a manual recording from 7:00 to 8:59 to resolve the conflict.
I don't have room for a second tuner card, nor am I inclined to buy one just so I can record two shows at once. If I actually wanted two from the same time slot, then fine, but not for a 60-second overlap.
Maybe this belongs on the Wish List forum, but there should be some way to resolve a 1-minute or 5-minute conflict like this. Maybe end one show early, or start the other late, rather than have to cancel one of them altogether.
BTW, NBC does this specifically to destroy our ability to do what we (and a jillion Tivo users) are doing.

In the TV Guide a green box fill indicates a selected listing and a red box fill indicates a scheduled listing. For the last couple of releases I have noticed that when I move to select a scheduled listing the fill colour turns green. I seem to recall that is used to turn a dark red. I notice that there is a colour specified for SelectedScheduledListing in ..\Blue\tv guide\skin.xml. So I am not sure why this is no long shown when a scheduled listing is selected? Any ideas.

TIA Chris
