Well, I've just reformatted the linux bootable volume on my PVR box to NTFS for use by GBPVR to store videos.

Thanks Sub, now I've gone from being a Linux freedom fighter to being one of the Borg.

My firewall warns me that gbpvrservice.exe wants to access the internet. What is the service trying to access? This happened after I manually updated the EPG.

I just got my USB-UIRT, installed it and installed the latest drivers.

The thing is, How do I make GB-PVR menu navigation using a remote?
The only spot in the config concerned about remotes is in the channel changer drop down list.. Is this where I need to config it?
What device I need?

I want to use GB-PVR only as a recording box (no LiveTV ...etc.).
Do I need to learn my device (satellite receiever) to GBPVR, and then use the arrows of that device to navigate?

Maybe some article or documentation talking about GB-PVR and remote controls would be very helpful..

Cheers...

I can't see how to get USB-UIRT to work for me.

I have two SAT-Recievers, sending to my PC on two channels (A and B) through an antenna wire. I currently use the SAT remote to manually change channels, (while the card still tunes only A or B). EPG works fine with this setup.

Now, I want to use my USB-UIRT but can't figure out how to set it up.

In the config, when setting up channels, I have specified channel A or B for all channels (ie the channel that the PVR-250 should tune in). It seems that this channel number also specifies what is sent by the USB-UIRT, but I think I need to specify that seperatly?!

Any help appreciated.

Hi all

First of all, thanks for the good work! nice piece of software.

I am trying to get the Live TV working, but I have no idea how to get a xmltv File for my Channel lineup (Even without EPG Information)

Is there any FAQ or so how to setup those Channel or even get a EPG running? The XMLTV Webpage at Soucreforge seems a bit cryptic for me...

My Lineup: PVR350 and a MediaMVP hooked up to analog cable in Hannover/Germany...

Thanks in advanced,
Uwe

I've just uploaded an updated v0.21 release which fixes a few issues from the release a few days ago. Sorry guys.

Download is available from http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR0214.msi

Anyway, the new version includes:

2004-9-12 v0.21.4
- Fixed a couple of navigation errors in the new web site
- Fixed a bug that would cause GB-PVR to show the message "initializing channel" when you try to stop live TV using escape key.
- Fixed a bug with playing DVD ISO files. Some machines required a longer delay between mounting an ISO and trying to play it. This is now configurable.
- Fixed a PVR350 lockup after returning to the main menu.

As someone who can't keep their PVR on all the time, I would love to see a feature added that enabled me to have the computer automatically shut down after recording a program, say at the end of an evening's worth of recording.

Any chance of this?

I have a SAA7134 phillips tuner called PCChips (nice card) came with WinDVR etc. I also have two Media MVP's. I cannot get live TV to work!? I get the recording icon in the tray to go green but it will not record requested TV programs and also when I try to watch live tv it will give me a "cannot find capture device" error. I have setup timeshifting to be able to watch and record both. This works great with Inter products, but not GB!

1. can someone please confirm what capture settings i.e. Tuner card type, direct plugin etc... I should be using with this card?
2. Is there some trick to giving GB access to the capture driver when using Inter WinDVR?

Please help

Anyone know the URL(s) used by the comic plugin? I need to know so I can set up my pop-up blocker to ignore them.

The zap2it.com URL would be helpful also.

Thanks...

I really thought I had seen this somewhere in the forums, but I can't find it now with much searching. Is there a way to change the number of channels listed on one screen of the TV Guide on the MVP? I have a fairly small TV (19") and the default (7, at least on my system) makes the text almost too small to read. Of course, this setting would also have to increase the font size of the listings displayed to help. Any suggestions?

Much thanks
