Seems when I change channels it will obviously delay between them it will crash and I have to restart the service. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hello,

When I try to install the latest version of GB-PVR the installations stops after the license confirmation with the following message : "Installation ended prematurely because of an error".

I'm installing on XP SP1 and yes I have installed Microsoft .net runtime v1.1 (Dutch version though).

The application log reads : Product: GB-PVR -- Installation operation failed. Event-id 11708.

I have a Pinnacle PCTV Deluxe USB card and installed the Vision software (which works now and then ).

Can anyone please help me with this ?

Many thanks,
Jan

My GB-PVR-box (an Asus Pundit-R) is pretty quiet; but still too noisy to keep it on 24x7. To kill the noise and save on the power-bill, i think it would be great to
(a) make GB-PVR shut down (or hibernate) the machine after recording a show
(b) set the BIOS wake-on-alarm to start the machine a few minutes before recording a show.

I don't know much about C#; but willing to test stuff if anyone gives it a try to build

I've been trying to get some PVR software working for days.

My PVR-350 works fine with my freeview box and I watch TV on my PC using WinTV2000.

The PVR-350 is connected to the freeview box via a scart cable which was supplied with it. This cable has a scart connector at one end which goes into the freeview box and a sort of small round 9-pin connector at its other end. This 9-pin connector plugs into the PVR-350. I can't say whether it is composite or s-video but I do know that WinTV2000 seems to say it's composite (after my hit-and-miss installation).

So I have one channel only ["Freeview"] in WinTV2000 and I change channel on the freeview box using the freeview box's own remote control, as I did before when it was connected to my telly. This is all fine.

However, when I come to try to get GB-PVR to work, I really am completely lost. What's the 'board number'? What source do I use. Whichever one I choose, nothing seems to happen.

I have got the EPG data and the TV guide works (except A. I don't know how to navigate back to the main menu - I have to exit the program and restart - and B. the Hauppage remote control seems only to be talking to the PVR-350, not to GB-PVR). But as for watching television, I just cannot figure it out.

I actually started out with SageTV but gave up with it. Could not understand it at all either. I'm pretty inexperienced with a lot of the terminology but I wouldn't call myself computer-clueless. I've installed countless software and a new hard drive and the WinTV card etc.

Is there anypone out there willing to help out? I'll be very grateful.

Hi all,
maybe this is posted on a wrong place, but I am not sure.

I wonder how a DVD film of over 3 hours can have such a good quality picture but my recordings with GBPVR is about 2.3 Gigs per hour? If a DVD is 4.7 Gigs it should be impossible with more than about 2 hours.

My question is therefore; Can I do something with my recorded files and reduce the size without the quality, so that I can burn them on a DVD?

As you all now clearly understands, I am not a programmer and is just learning how this all works.

best regards,
Mikkel

Hi all,
I wonder if it would be possible to show the current time on the screen by pressing a button on the remote?

Does anyone know if there are any Windows based MediaMVP clients. From what I understand it is a small variation on VNC and yes I do mean client for connecting to something like the GBPVR MediaMVP server.

There are a number of reasons for asking, the first is a simple client for testing skins etc, the second reason is I would imagine that it would create a basic gbpvr remote client for scheduling etc.

All suggestions welcome.

(First, apologize for my bad english)

Does PVR350/250 processing the audio it self or do it use a soundcard, when it store the movie then recording ?

And what about playback, can PVR350 processing the audio it self or do I need a soundcard?

I have a Xcard, would it together with a PVR250, could make the audioprocess from an recorded/timeshiftet movie, without a soundcard?


I am asking because I also have an Ati All In Wonder 128 (which have not being used for a long time), which I have taking in use again, just to try pvr-function with ShowShifter (which support Ati AIW 128) but playing a recorded/timeshiftet movie, the sound is horrible and the audio process is going around the soundcard, a Maestro II.

Are there other things I should take into consideration?

Hiya all,

Is it possible to run two channel changers (say, USBUIRT) with two tuner cards and two set-top boxes?

If so, how does one associate a particular USB channel changer to a particular tuner?

Cheers,
