I have to restart gb-pvr recording service a lot to get the webserver to start talking again. It seams to happen a few times a day where it refuses connections. Is this something that is known? Is there a fix for it?

Thanks,

Hi.

I believe something like this has already been asked for, but I'd like to bring it out again...

It would be really great if we could get the EPG and LiveTV at the same time. There are various ways that this could be accomplished:

1) Overlay a transparent EPG onto the live TV.
2) Have a mini Live TV beside the description box in the EPG.
3) Have a mini EPG in a corner of LiveTV.

I'm sure others methods could be thought of as well.

Regardless, I would love to be able to surf the EPG while still being able to watch whatever channel I was last looking at.

Thanks!

but I'm not sure.

Kworld Card (newegg link).

It says it does Mpeg1/2/4 in "Real-Time" but I'm not sure if that is true or if it still is doing it through software (which I assume due to the low price).

Let me know- because I consider myself somewhat saavy- but I'm at a loss with this card.

If it turns out not to have mpeg2 encoding then can you tell me what card is the CHEAPEST possible solution? My problem is I have everything I need to put a full PVR solution together Except the tv tuner card (I'm using a leadtek 2000xp deluxe- which I know is using software encoding). My other problem is that I'm cheap.

Thanks,

What is the best (or simplest) way to change channels on my RCA DirectTv box.

I have Hauppauge WinTV USB2, Xcard, and RCA DRD480RE

I look into Girder, but WOW how confusing is that. Please help

I must be missing something very obvious here. I've got channels TV1,2,3,C4 working nicely (VHF), but would like to get UHF channels as well (Prime, Triangle). I've got a UHF and VHF antenna, but the tuning assistant only seems to want to scan the VHF band.

hi, does anyone have a link to the previous version please. I have checked the previous posts but the links seem dead. I have read that this should help with the delay changing channels.

Thanx

I've been trying out GB-PVR and the automated scheduling of reoccuring shows is very convenient. This will help keep me from missing some syndicated shows that may be shown at varying times. I also use the pre and post padding to ensure recording of the full show.

My problem is for recoding consecutive shows (on the same channel). The second show begins recording at the scheduled time, thus losing the post padding on the first show and losing the pre padding on the second show. I would prefer to combine these into one continuous mpg file that I could later manually edit, but that doesn't seem to be an option unless I use manual scheduling.

In my example, Show 1 runs from 1:00PM-2:00PM and
Show 2 runs from 2:00PM-3:00PM.


So, I added a second tuner. I expected the capture source 1 to record the first show with the pre & post padding and because of the overlap (from 1:58-2:02), the second show would use capture source 2 and maintain it's pre and post padding.

NOPE. Both shows were recorded on the same tuner just as though I had only one tuner. Of course I lost the padding just as before. What gives ?

I tested both tuners and can successfully record simutaneously.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

It would be very convenient to also know on which channel the recording took place, is that possible?

Please help me make SMALLER the UNBELIEVABLE delay of NINE seconds to change a channel!

Also PLEASE stop GBPVR from buffering keystrokes. Especially because of the problem above.

If you try to switch the channel and you don't know of the huge delay and since there is no feedback from the program that you DID press the button, you may start trying various buttons (channel up, channel down, 3, 4, 1, ok... etc.) resulting in a huge row of channel changes EACH taking 9 seconds... resulting in "wife-factor" going sub-zero (no pun intended)...

im not sure how easy this would be to do, but tv often has black bars around it, the sides and top/bottom. im using the 350 output and theres only so much i can do in the config file to get rid of these imperfections until the osd begins to dissapear (the blue button information is the worst, the bottom line). so my wish is to have a seperate "bounds" settings for the video, where you can configure, xpos,ypos,width,height. but also keep the 350 osd display settings seperate. also shove the blue/green info bars into the config file so can adjust where they are.

sub is this easy? or to annoying to bother with, for at least awhile?
