I have tried both the SageTV Client and GBPVR recently. I have the PVR350 card in my system and when I use GBPVR the processor usage is really high and the computer gets bogged down badly and then stalls after trying to switch the channels a few times. Compared to SageTV which hardly uses my computer at all. I set the video output to hardware decoding-PVR350 and thought that would alleviate it, but it did not. Is there something I am missing in the setup?
I recently purchased the 250, and my computer has 512MB Ram and a 800MHZ AMD processor, and will be used exclusively for PVR. Can I use the vid out on the 250, or do I need to have a Xcard with vid out?
My spec...
The case is a Morex Venus (they have it on http://www.mini-itx.com)
Epia M10000
512mb Ram
DVDRW+-X4
120Gig HD
1 60mm Fan runing at 1%-25% (depending on heat).
1 120mm Fan runing at 50%-60% (depending on heat).
1 L.I.S 2 PREMIUM VFD BLUE BLACK
( http://www.vlsys.co.kr/product/lis2_premium.php )
1 NB waterblock 1 small radiator + pump + watercase.
(The watercooling is passive) temp from 30C to 55C.
My powersupply is fanless and gives my around 120Watts whitch is more then I need.
Hap. PVR 350.
And a universal touch screen remote.
On the software side i have:
WinXP pro sp 1 (2 in a week or so).
GB-PVR (the best PVR software that I have used).
I have the box in my bedroom and my girlfriend that dosen't like noisie computers can sleep in the same room whit it on.
I've been trying all the various HTPC programs and this one is very nice indeed.
But I can't use it because it doesn't support DVB-T yet! I have two Nova-T cards ready and waiting to plug in!
I checked the forum for info on this but couldn't find much. Apologies if it's in here somewhere....
Is DVB-T support being currently worked on? What is the likely timescale for sorting it?
I really don't want to have to play with linux and go mythtv, but it's looking the only option :-(
Hello!
I seem to be missing something here - how exactly do you utilise Event Notification in C#?? Perhaps a small example of how to check CurrentAudioTrack?
Cheers all

Is there a way to browse channels on the OSD in Live TV but without changing the channel itself? The reason I ask is that I have an intolerable 7-8 second delay from STB to my computer, which makes channel hopping very much impossible... if I could somehow browse using the OSD but without actually changing the channel, this would solve most problems. Then I suppose you would click 'OK' and it would jump to the current channel on the OSD.

Is it possible to turn off the on screen display? Because, for me, whenever it pops up it makes the video stutter and the sound to go out of sync. This only happens sometimes when I view recorded mpeg2 files, but almost always when I view divX or something similar. And it only happens when I view them through GB-PVR, if I use windows media player everything works perfect.
