I plan to build a small media PC to sit next to my TV and Surround reciever. I plan to connect the PC to the TV using the PVR350 and it's video out. I read a tread where sub confirmed that GB-PVR will play it's means onto the TV screen through this card. Is this an overlay over the broadcasted picture or will it look the same as a monitor. I assume I won't be able to use the TV like a monitor i.e. no desktop? just GB-PVR.
Second question. I plan to network this PC to my main pC to share it's broadband connection. Any plans for a internet feature on GB-PVR for those that only plan to connect to a TV screen?
I just bought a pvr350 and installed gb pvr and so far I love it. Very stable and no problems of any kind.
I do have a few questions about EPG update though. In reading through the forums I have read comments about having to empty the EPG before updating. Is this correct even for the newest version?
Also, does the 'Automatic EPG update" do this automatically- empty the old one and install the new one?
Since the previous version, my computer goes into hibernation while watching a recorded show. When waking the computer, the wake.cmd script runs to restart the pvr350. However, it does not stop gbpvr. The "video is playing back.." screen is shown on the monitor, but the tv-screen remains black. The wake.cmd script returns an error that the pvr350 could not be restarted. Only option then is to restart the pc.
But, if the pc would not go into hibernation all would be perfect.
BTW, the pc does not sleep while watching a dvd, or while playing music. So, I suppose the computer settings are OK.
Hi, I'd like to be able to define more features of the recorded video (CBR/VBR, GOP, Output Stream) ideally all setting accessible through the WinTVCap profiles. A Hauppauge-centric wish, I guess?
In LiveTV it would be nice to be able to adjust brightness, contrast, colour... (but the first one has a much higher priority for me)
I've downloaded GB-PVR , this great software and I'm also a happy owner of a Hauppauge PVR-350.
It seems that is something wrong with this software:
1)I get only black and white picture on my TV , although GB-PVR's menous are in full color.
2)FM Radio doesn't work at all.
3)I get a 2cm black line on the bottom of my TV and there is no way to adjust it.
4)In the configuration utility of GB-PVR the Settings button of Hauppage PVR-350 is disabled.
Does anyone know anything about it?
(I'm running the latest Hauppauge drivers & the latest GB-PVR version.)
first, kudo's for a great app!
since a while I own a MediaMVP and I found out about GB-PVR in the Hauppage forums. Absolutely great that this also works for MedaMVP! I decided to pick up a PVR card as well but at the moment it is seemingly very hard to get a 250/350 in the Netherlands. But one shop had a demo-usb version so I picked that one up.
However it seems that this is some kind of old version (not the USB2 version) it has hardware MPEG2 encoder but I can't just get it to work with GB-PVR. Can you please confirm that this is correct (I might be able to return it and wait for availabilty of a PVR 350) or should this USB version work allright?
