So close....!!

Spent 3 days trying to get Media Portal working, then saw this release that supported my nova-t dvbt card, so thought i'd give it a go - detected my card and tuned in a load of channels straight away! Excellent i thought..

I have managed to tune in the channels in the config, but whenever i try to select Live TV from the main programme, i get the following message:

Error: Unable to load DLL (hcwIRblast.dll).

I'm using the Hauppauge 45 key remote that came with the nova-t, and it works fine selecting options etc in the GB-PVR, just dies when it gets to Live TV.
Tried changing to no remote and got:
Channel tuning information not known - when selecting Live TV (although all channels are tuned in)

I've tried looking thru the forums/ googling but to no avail...

I'm using the latest release (GBPVR0908)

Just a heads up for those of you looking for a good deal in the states.

You can get the Media MVP or the PVR150 for $69.99 after rebates @ CircuitCity.

I have recently purchased a USB-UIRT so I can change channels on my cable box when my GB-PVR changes channel. I currently have a NTL analogue service using a General Instrument CFT2100 STB. I've setup a new device profile for my remote control, but when it comes to changing channels in GB-PVR, either nothing happens or it changes my STB to channel 9.
Does anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? I'll be very grateful for any help I can get.

I've posted my dat file below

Probably not a new request. It would just be nice if all menus, and tv guide, would wrap at top/bottom. I know the main menu does, and I suppose it's up to the plugin people w/ others. The guide would be nice, though.

Hi,

now, GBPVR is perfectly installed. Everything works fine.

Now I've a problem with sceduled recordings.

An example:
Sceduled was "About Schmidt" from 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM.
The Recorded file is visible in the completed-list, but there are only 52 minutes.

Now, this happened 5 times.
Why does gbpvr abort the recording ?
The EPG-Update is set to 7:00 AM.

Thanks for help!

Bye,
Sebastian

I'm thinking about getting a serial cable to connect my box to the pc to control channels. My question is: will gbpvr be able to change channels using a free utility called DirecTV serial control utility?(through its exe)

I've downloaded and installed gb-pvr and am in the proccess of setting it up. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to deal with the epg. I've downloaded and unzipped xmltv and am trying to use it to get a program guide for italy, but I'm really confussed as to what I'm suppose to be doing with it? I've got a hauppauge 150 installed with win xp pro. Any suggestions as to what direction I should be going? Thanxs!

Hi,

first i want to say that the new release is great ! Even one feature i thought was not possible (fast channel switching in less then 1 second ) is implemented.

Now the last feature i am looking for is a search in the description while using fastfind, searchguide or some other plugin. Is something like this in development already (i think i did read about it in a post from sub) ?

hi,

i have a stupid newbie question ... what is MVP ?
Yesterday i still thought it is the GUI of GB-PVR but now it seems to be a device communication with the PC and the TV !? Is the MVP box directly connected to the PC and getting its data from the PC using radio communication (funk) ?

Maybe this has been asked before, but GBPVR would significally improve for dutch users (and probably other countries as well) if it allowed channel configuration on frequency.
Dutch channels are not on exact channel numbers, mostly just below or above (e.g. channel 6+ instead of 6, 42- instead of 42).

Would make life for the dutchies a lot easier
