Hi !
I am new here and install gbpvr yesterday. Before gbpvr I deinstalled beyond tv 3.5. It was only a trial.
Installation works fine but after power on on my mediamvp I saw only a single green rectangle.

Everybody know the solution ?

Hi All,

Finally managed to get my system fully set up only to find one last hurdle!

I can use winTV and GBPVR (with the software decoder option) perfectly fine on my computer monitor.

But i want to be able to use the TV out from my Hauppauge PVR 350 card to my TV (using the composite out to scart lead).

When using the TV out with winTV it works fine, i get the picture on my TV and can watch it for hours.

When i start GBPVR (having selected the hardware Hauppauge decoder option rather than software) i can get the GBPVR menus on my TV, and i can select the net radio, weather etc. menu options and they all work fine.
But as soon as i try to watch a recording or watch Live TV from GBPVR on the TV, the display on the TV freezes after a few seconds of playing.

I'm running on a MSI Mega PC 865 with Windows 2000, i used the latest drivers from the Hauppauge website when i installed the card.

Is there any settings i can change to fix this?

Many thanks for any help.

Cheers, Alex

I just used the feature that you can start viewing a show before the recording have ended, and I like it a lot!

But, the pending recordings list is often empty (ie black) when I try to view it. Restarting GB-PVR can, sometimes, bring some items up.

Yesterday, on the first restart of GB-PVR, one (of about 10) pending recordings showed up, not the one I was recording though. After a second restart the one currently recording (and I think all other) showed up.

Is there a way to refresh the recording lists?

When are reoccuring recordings added to the pending list?

I agree to the licence, then:

You know how some TV remotes have a "Return" button which allows one to return to the previously viewed channel, and if you press the Return button repeatedly, it just toggles between two channels?

Admittedly the MediaMVP isn't the most responsive channel surfer when viewing live TV, but that might be a nice feature.  (Especially as my short term memory gets shorter.)

How difficult it would be to program one of the colored buttons (maybe the red one) on the MVP remote as a Return button when viewing live TV.

I just installed GB PVR and went through the setup configuring everything and setting it up to use my XCard for tv out but when I go to launch the program I get a Microsoft .NET Framework error that says an unhandled exception has occured in your application and I can't start it. Any help is appreciated. I am anxious to try this program. -Rob

The MediaMVP Model 86001 Rev D1 I bought a week ago claims to support DivX.  I have not verified that because I don't have any DivX files.  

However, after installing the 2.2.22202 update, I discovered the MVP can now play my WMA files.  (That's good news for me because I have ripped all my CD's to WMA instead of MP3.)

I don't know how they did it, but I hope earlier models can be upgraded.

Now I'm off to the Wishlist Forum.  

I've tried shoshifter:
Although I can see the prgrams playing on the channels as showshifter scans for them, it tells me none are found

Beyond TV:
All I get is vertical black and white lines

GB-PVR:
just a bunch of static.

Hauppauge's site tells me it wont work with ANY third party PVR software becasue something about the PVR-250 records to MPEG before its outputted and that conflicts with what the third party software is trying to do.

"The WinTV-PVR-250/350 records directly to MPEG using onboard Hardware encoders. Most third party capture applications are looking to attach to a card or driver that supports uncompressed video recordings. Like AVI files. These programs cannot capture video directly using the PVR-250/350."

I dont understand at all. I bought the PVR-250 because everyone said they suported it. Including GB-PVR

I got GB-PVR running with no problems - thanks, sub! It rocks.

Now, I am trying to improve tv out quality. I have a Rage Fury Pro 32MB with hardware dvd/mpeg2 decoding. 2 Questions:

1) Do I have to set up anything in GB-PVR to take advantage of my video cards hardware-based decoding?

2) My machine is an 800mhz AMD Duron w/ 512MB RAM. If I get a different video card, should I stick to one with hardware-based decoding?

3) Based on answer to #2, any card recommendations?

Thanks

the icon that displays whether something is recording or not (changes between green and red) has no name. Now whilst this is sad purely on the basis of little notification icon itself which I'm sure must be getting teased by all the other notification icons it also screws up windows. I have my icons auto-hide, but i don't want little no-namey to auto-hide. Normally I could right click on the task bar, click on properties and then customise. This works, but no-namey keeps on loosing its special non-auto-hide ability. I'm thinking this is because it has no name; possibly all the other icons are stealing its special ability from it. So please, give no-namey a name.

Possible names include:
1.gbpvr recorder icon
2.gbpvr
3.timothy
4.theiconformallyknownasthaticonwithoutaname
