Finally got pretty much everything working between GB-PVR, my Dish 301 receiver, the Hauppauge 250, and my USB-UIRT module.
One annoying thing I've found though: I can pause live TV, but I can't rewind it from the Hauppauge remote. And if I leave it paused for say, 2 minutes, I can't then FF to catch back up. I can only hit play to continue from where I had paused.
Now I know this topic has been briefly touched upon before, but I've found out something that might be useful. With Daemon you can parse it options like this daemon.exe -mount 0, "X:\ISONAME.iso" which would then mount the ISO up as a normal DVD drive.
It thus can't be that hard to make a plugin that allows you to select an ISO as you do a video right now and then play it. Surely it would just be a matter of tinkering with some of the pictures plugin code. As far as I'm aware all the plugins are written in C#, but I only know VB. I thus pass this onto to anyone else as to whether its feasible etc.
I am not interested in EPG, as I only watch and record TV from a satellite receiver through Composite line. The Configuration, however, asks me for a filename and other actions which I don't understand and on whose effects, as told, I'm not interested. Is there a way to jump all this part and go to see and record TV?
Many thanks for any assistance
Recently installed my pvr 250 to go alongside my mvp....using hauppage s/w recording quality is fine, but with GB-PVR it is terrible. Also when i try and watch live tv i get a black screen for a few seconds followed by the 'stop' icon appearing on screen and then it jumps back to the main menu.
Ive been through the config app a few times but cant see anything obviously wrong. Really want to use GB-PVr as the interface is soooo much better than Haupp, espec for recording from an EPG, but am running out of ideas...!
I have pretty low specced machine (Optiplex GX100...750 celeron w/256Mb), but i can view and pause live TV on the PC, and it can record OK with Hauppage, so Idont think this is the cause?? I also have latest drivers

I may have mentioned this before, or the solution could be obvious, but I'm still having a couple of problems in my large font/high-visibility version of the Flat Blue skin:
In the Net Radio, FM Radio and Recordings sub-menus, although I can change the size/spacing of the stations listed in the skin.xml, I can't seem to increase the height of the borders around each station/recording, so this simply results in the same size boxes, but further apart/text eclipsed by box borders.
And in the Search Guide, I can't see how to increase the size of the details box so I can stretch it down further to allow a bit more text.
Otherwise going well - I've started using it again after replacing motherboard, memory, PSU & processor to fix a stability problem, only to find it was actually the secondary hard-drive.
