BACKGROUND
I've eventually got my system more or less configured. It's a little complex, so let me explain that first.

My terrestrial TV signal, and my Digital set top box signal are sent round all the rooms in my home on regular co-axial.Channels 1-5 have been configured to internal tuner-aerial, and work perfectly (as does recording etc). The cable signal is set to the same capture source, but with a fixed channel,external tuner through the aerial.

The trick I can't manage is getting my digital set top box to change channel for recordings. I'm not sure which bit of the system I need to change.

My ntl Cable box is a Pace 2000, so I need a redeye to convert the irDa signal to regular RC5 ( or whatever). I know this works, as a regular remote now operates the channel changing on the box.

Because the HTPC is in a different room to the set top box, the signals are sent from room1 to room2 through a Marmitek Pyramid signal sender. I know this works too.

I have connected my USB-UIRT to the computer and this seems to work, as it has learned the signals, and I have the file saved, and lights flash at the appropriate times.

RECORDING PROBLEM

When I wish to record from the cable box, the UIRT blaster does send out a message - unfortunately, this message seems to be confused, and I'm not getting the right channel. Having looked here, at the RedEye site, and at the USB_UIRT site, I'm not quite clear where the problem lies.

Does anyone have any suggestions

Hi,
I'm still having problems with the gbpvr window not filling the entire screen. There is still an empty band above the window. I've tried windowed mode on and off, used the -noframe commandline switch, and even tried to put the window on a specific position with the -pos switch. Nothing worked. In every case the empty band above the window remained...

It's not a huge issue, but would be nice to have solved.

Came across http://cuttermaran.movie2digital.de/ which looks like it might be promising for chopping up large MPEG files generated by GBPVR (without recalculation).

Since my PVR is still in working prototype mode (Pentium III 800) I don't have really great resources for mashing large MPEG files (not without having several hours spare! - Anyone else want to try it and post some feedback?

Your program is great and I especially like that it can use the xcard for osd but I was wondering if you had any plans to include a time bar for the osd in livetv so you could see where you are when you fastforward and rewind like some other pvr programs have.

Here is the pvr250mce driver version: 1.18.21.22247 (9/3/2004)
I can only hear TV audio sound, but no video, just a black screen.

Have anybody experienced the same problem with pvb250mce?

p.s. I chose pvr250 + FM radio as tuner type. Is that a correct one?

Does anybody know how to adjust the brightness or contrast settings on the MVP? Im not sure what to think i have to darken my custom Backgrounds because they appear to light> then when watching live Tv or Recorded program things get to dark and over saturated. Anyone with the same problems and have a solution?

- Currently when you go back to the recording window your cursor goes back to the top each time. It would be nice to have it remember your location in the list. This way when your done watching a recording and want to remove it you don't have to scroll through and re-find the recording to delete it.

- Would be nice if you press play during playback that the OSD pops back up showing you where you are in the recording. I find it nice to know how much of a show is left. Also to know where the commercials are. Dunno why it's just habbit I guess.

- Add Play Shortcut... When in the recordings screen, if you press Play, the recording should start playing. Don't make us go to a sub menu just to click play.

I have a Hauppauge PVR350 card and i have been using your software now for about a month for tv recording etc. however when i try to get the radio to work i get a error message. any ideas?

Also how do i get music files to play through the Hauppauge PVR350 card so i can listen to music through my tv (it only comes from the soundcard)

I can't seem to watch a TV show while recording it at the same time.
Plus I can't Rewind or Fast Forward on the fly while watching Live TV.
But I can pause.
If I watch a recorded mpeg then RWD and FF work fine.

Is this normal or am I missing a step some where?  

FYI, AMD XP 2200+, 512MB Ram & PVR350 for Svideo TV-out.

thanks

Hi,

I have a system running a pvr350 and a Xcard.
Using the pvr350 for capturing and the xcard for displaying(got tired of the buggy TV drivers for the 350).
The problem I have is when I want to watch a recorded program or liveTV, the sound starts out with max volume for 1sec and then reverts to 50% off that.
What I can tell this only happens with the SPDIF and gbpvr.
I have checked all the volumes settings and all is maxed out.
Anyone with the same problem?
Is there any volume settings for the gbpvr?
