I'm lacking all knowledge regarding the MVP since I don't have one myself. Â Therefore I'd like to get help with filling the MVP section of the wiki manual.
So, If you know how to operate the MVP and would like to share that information please do.
I have just downloaded GB-PVR and installed it and several plugins.
I registered at the Zap2It Labs site and my account there seems to be working as I changed my password, updated listing, etc. However, I cannot download the EPG. Every attempt it times out and says it is not configured correctly. I have double-checked my username and password.
When I try to watch Live TV, only the first channel (channel 2) shows up and none of the keyboard shortcuts nor the Hauppauge remote work.
I have manually added about half of my lineup (via the "Add" button in EPG settings) and they show up with their channel numbers plus ninety-seven in the "Channels" tab of the config screen.
I did not install any of the software that came with the card, only the drivers.
Please help me resolve this problem.
OS: WinXP SP2
Card: Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250
After I make a change to a data directory the installer
tries to re-install, thus undoing what I just did.
For example, I wanted to get rid of the default .pls files
in the Net Radio folder and add my own. Once I delete the
old files and re-run GB-PVR, the installer starts looking for
the .msi file.
I'm going to be getting a MediaMVP and a PVR150MCE. Since I'll be using the MedaiMVP remote control I don't need to get the PVR150 correct. I can just get the PVR150MCE. It appears that the only difference between the two is the PVR150 comes with a remote and the PVR150MCE assumes you'll be using the remote from Media Center and therefore don't need a remote.
Will there be any support for this tuner in the near future? Currently I am using WinDVR3 with this tuner but I would rather use the GB-PVR software instead.
It's a shame that a lot of the Zap2It metadata is not saved to the database (things like Ratings, Original Air Date, Syndication Show Number, etc).
I realize that a lot of this data is probably not in the EPG data feeds for other countries, and in order to support the lowest common denominator, it's just ignored when the new Zap2It data is imported. However, at least for us blokes in the States, having access to this metadata could help in solving a few problems while developing plugins (especially things like recording new episodes of a show, filtering the guide based on ratings, possibly some limited form of parental controls, etc).
