Using a PVR-TV-150 and a MedaiMVP when will I be able to fast forward live tv? I've seen some comments that sub is working on it but no mention of when that might actually come about.
When I started using my PVR350 with the great piece of work GB-PVR is I hooked up the PVR350 card to the TV in the room next door So I could either watch TV myself or work on the PC while someone else watches liveTV or one of the video recordings in parallel. What I love about this is that the GB-PVR in cooperation with the Hardware encoding causes almost no cpu-load so working in parallel to recording or watching TV is a blast.
Firing up the net-radio, FM Radio or Music Library Plugins got me a bit disappointed because the sound was not available on the TV (as this is the device I am interacting with) but only on the PC speaker in front of my computer screen which is connected to the standard sound card/onboard sound output.
There seem to be two schools of thought from my current discussion within the board.
1) The one suggests to use a loopback cable piping the PVR's output to the Line-In of your soundcard and connecting the (mixed) sound output of the PC to the TV.
2) The other (me, myself and I) wants to keep the soundcard/onboard sound out of the loop and instead pipe the audio as an MPEG stream to the TV using the PVR350 hardware MPEG decoding support. In general this allows the same destination to playback the audio and potentially mix it with more or less related video footage (e.g. sound visualisations or image galeries). This would allow to have two independent sound outputs on the PC als there are in case of a PVR350 at least two different image/video outputs making the PC actually multi-user enabled.
So what's your take on this?
Please mark your choice and in case that's not enough lemme know in detail what you think by adding a reply. Any ideas on what to display while the sound is playing.
Currently I'm using the family PC with a WinTV-PVR-150 and a MediaMVP. I have a spare computer that I'm wondering if it will work well enough. Here's the specs.
Pentium II 450
New Large Hard Drive
1gb of SDRAM
The only thing I'm worried about is the processor. Will I be okay or is that going to kill me?

I remember reading in a posting a while back that there is a way to get GB-PVR to run other tasks at the time that it updates the EPG. As I recall it looked for a particular batch file in the installation directory. Iâve tried searching the archives and I canât find the post that talks about this. Does someone know how to do this?
I have included my GML. I am using 3.2.9.
The GML logically seems ok but focus doesn't really work as expected.
- Ignore "GBPRV Commands" group.
- In "Who is focused?" multigroup I have THREE events, but this is just because of my experiments. I have tried with all three and combinations.
- GBPVR group is not ready (trying to figure out what is needed to change channels, not that I have tested the other keys...)
Sometimes the appropriate group is not enabled and sometimes a group remains enabled when I have in fact closed the program. What is wrong?
I have a Pace 1000 NTL box, can a red-eye serial be used directly with gbpvr, or would i have to get myself a UIRT and a red-eye IRDA convertor?
As far as i can tell, the red-eye serial plugs directly into the PC via serial port and provides the NTL IR codes directly, while if you want to use an UIRT you have to also use a red-eye convertor as the UIRT does not supply the correct codes for the NTL boxes.
Obviously just using the red-eye serial would be the better solution as (a) it only needs on thing buying. and (b) my PVR PC is going to be in a totally different room to the STB, and a serial cable can run this distance easilly
I am trying to translate your program to Greek (and then send you the language.xml and whatever else xml is needed) but I have these problems:
- I don't know all the text I can change, I have just added (succesfuly) 5-6 lines by trial-and-error... is there a complete listing somewhere?
- the program is not flexible with its button sizes (esp. length), is there a way to touch this?
- I am planning on using EPG (although I wouldn't do it at first), but with my first import I see Greek characters as gibberish... could this be a problem with GBPVR and font or an XML codepage problem?
- HOW can I delete channels? I added a new source, deleted the first one, but still in the channels tab (the last one) I see a mix of the old and new!
- how can I reorder them? (some of them have EPG and some have not, but I want a specific order)
- what are the favourite channels?
- now that I added the new source and deleted the first I CANNOT see TV! I just see snow... the source settings are correct (trust me)... is there any log I can send you to see what is happening?
- speaking of logs... the folder gets full of logs! can I keep things clean? or do I have to manualy find a way (a schedule or something) to delete them?
(sorry couldn't help it and sent the same as PM to the author)
This is the scenario: I have recorded a show as a one-time recording. Now I realize that this show runs with a new episode once in a while, not often enough to be on my EPG yet. But still would like to be able to season record shows with that name, perhaps from the recordings menu?
