When is their support planned for this card? If in the next version, roughly when is that going to be released?

I use GBPVR in combination with a Hauppauge PVR250. Until recently I just had one recording source set up, using the internal tuner.

There are also a few channels that I can only access through a settop box, though, so a few days ago I connected it to the composite in on the PVR250 and set up a second recording source for it (using USB UIRT to change channels).

Before setting it up I assumed the 250 would only be able to handle recording from one of the sources at a time (I haven't been able to find anything definitive in the Hauppauge manual), yet GBPVR didn't complain when I (accidentally) scheduled two overlapping recordings.

Neither of the two recordings came out okay, but apart from that, GBPVR handles recording from both sources flawlessly. I assume the problem is something do with my configuration, but I'm not quite sure what it could be. Has anybody else run into something similar?

Hai,

I published FreqCopy one year ago, but did not put a good guide on the Web yet. I repaired that omission today.

Also I posted several other tools that I developed, and a guide on how to optimise the use of GB-PVR for the Netherlands. People from other countries may benefit from that too.

Comments are welcome, and I will try to answer any questions, as I have been doing with FreqCopy.

My PVR2 USB works fine under W2K SP4 with the SW from Hauppauge. Since Hauppauge SW does not support EPG I am looking 4 another solution. GB-PVR seems 2 be ok, but...

I managed to run the configuration and imported the EPG data.
I run the tuning assistant and get the messages 'connectPins failed!' and 'Failed to connect pinNameCrossbarVideoDecoderOut to pinNameCaptureAnalogVideoIn'. After this messages the channels are checked without error (no picture is shown).

When I start GB-PVR the IR is doesn't work. Going to LiveTV I get the message 'No Capture-Source was available...'.

I'm using
GB-PVR:        GB-PVR 0.227
Hauppauge: hcw2_4_22196_usb2


Any ideas what I do wrong?

I've finally figured out that it's not a good idea to have my recordings made with gbpvr and other videos in the same root directory. It gets weird and counterintuitive in the GUI when they all show up in "video library" :-)

So I went ahead and moved them (gbpvr recordings' location) to another directory. Then I changed this accordingly in the setup. Lo and behold, the recordings disappear from the "recordings" plugin! :-( So, I thought, it must be that they still have their old location in the database. So I moved it all back again, redid the settings, but they are still gone from the "recordings" plugin. Could I somehow get them back in there? :-)

Obviously, I can still watch them, because the files are still there, it's just a bit annoying =) And when I have watched them and deleted them the problem will be gone, because new recordings seem to show up in the plugin, at least =)

Playing back recordings or live TV on the PVR 350 TV out. Normally it gives a perfect result, but sometimes sound and video start to go somewhat out of sync. Especially noticable when people are talking a lot, you hear sound a fraction before the lips start moving.
Using skip back and fwd again sometimes reduces it somewhat, but not completely. I get this on recordings with various quelatiy settings.
I also noticed that after using Pause, sync usually is way off and I have to skip back and fwd to get it in sync again.

Any suggetsions ?

Any way to config this to start from computer start up..

I've had the unfortunate experience lately of having some scheduled recordings fail, due to insufficient disk space. However, they are seen as "Available" in the GB-PVR UI and web interface.

Today it was summer, and I went to the beach.

BTW, here is the view today from the "GB-PVR office".

I don’t know although I suspect that this is related to installed SP2 for Windows XP (Home Edition). Now almost every time I start the Media MVP it gets stuck on the blue boot screen and the message on the bottom cycles between “Contacting DHCP server” and “Contacting MediaMVP BootServer”

The GB-PVR log file says this:

Any ideas?
