Which TV Card and remote would you recommend to use with GBPVR. I'm UK based

So, I've searched everywhere on this site and i still don't have an answer.

I have PVR-USB2 and PVR-150 installed
I have both set to Capture Source #1

It seems that I am having a difficult time recording two shows at the same time. If i set two shows to record simultaenously--only one will record. If I set to record one, and tehn watch live tv and record the Live TV, then something seems to cut off the other one to like 20-40 seconds.

i'm stumped!

I've tried playing around with different configuration for capture sources--no luck

I have a Plextor ConvertX TV402U tuner which seems to work okay with other programs (except for GotTV, which is another issue) but with GB-PVR, I cannot change channels while watching Live TV. I can change channels if I set something to record or when I first start the application and go and select a channel from the guide it works, but after that when I hit up, down or enter a channel number in (and hit enter), it will not change. The only way to change channels is to exit out of the program and go back in.

WinDVR (ui sucks), SageTV (slow), and BeyondTV (slow) all seem to work fine.

Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

I have my USBUIRT working and taught to control my Phillips direct TV box. However, when the same number comes up twice in a row (ie 112 or 223) the box doesn't accept the second of the two same numbers giving me a wrong channel change (to 12 or 23, etc).

I know I somehow need to edit my IR config file but I am hoping for someone more techincally savy than me who has perhaps dealt with this in the past!

Thanks

Hello All

I have used GBPVR with great success with 2 Hauppauge 150's, a retail and an MCE. Two days ago, it stopped recording to one card. I updated drivers, but no go. I removed and reinstalled GBPVR, and no go. Lately, I got both working, but one records at 2 gb per hour while one records at 50 gb per hour on the same setting! Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?

I am on XP Home, with a 2.8 gig, P4 computer.

Thanks for any help.

S.

PS I forgot to mention, it will create a recording file for the 2nd card, but it puts no data into it.

Sub,
Is there a way to modify the text colour/font/size/etc. settings for the currently commented out time and next recording panels on the main menu? Thanks!

i have a hauppauge 150mce installed in a box that i would like to use as a pvr with gb-pvr

the card seems to be correvtly installed and i can watch a tv stream through it using vlc or
though the simple tv utility that came with the hauppauge drivers shows only a still

however i am unable to get gb-pvr or a simular app called gotallmedia to show live tv or record off the 150


. i was a bit mistified that there was not a section in the setup that selects the capture card, i just 'add' a device in the capture area, which i currenlty have done with 150mce selected and all the i setting i think done.


. other items of note:
i have another tuner card in theis machine, an ati one that i do not want to use for any pvr function
, it seems that the gbpvrrecordingservice will after being on and doing nothing for about 12 hours suddenly start using alot of ram and cpu time.

I'm playing with addreoccurring and must have entered too generic of a string. I now have a ton of scheduled recordings, is there any way to clear all without going through each one?

Posted this once before but didn't hear anything back.  Anyone know what this error is?  I get this error and a 5-10 minute recording.  Here is the previous post with all the gory log details etc.

Greetings,

I am trying to unclutter the menus (trying all the plugins) and have created new submenus by dragging/dropping into them. For some reason the new menu items don't show up. I have rebooted the MVP several times as well as the recording service to no avail. Is there something that I'm missing?

Thanks!
