I've got GB-PVR running through my MVP and it works really, really well.
The only little problems I've got is that when it's running there are small vertical lines right the way across the screen.
You don't really notice from a distance, but sitting on the sofa they are quite clear. If I run MVP with the standard software this effect doesn't appear.
The other little thing is that when I play a video, there is always a 1 - 2 inch black strip at the bottom of the screen, again I'm not sure if I'm not clicking on a setting or something.
This discussion kinda started from another post, firstly I was going to go for a PVR-350 but realised its TV-Out was very restrictive, then I thought of an XCard but found it was hard to come by and only 256 colour for menu's and pictures so im stumping for a traditional graphics card with TV-Out now so was thinking of either a Radeon 7000 or GeForce FX5200 which are both quite cheap...
However, I have seen posts praising the FX5200's here:
Excuse me if some of this has been said already but what I'd like to see is better playback control. I'd like to be able to:-
1) Start Playback from 5 minutes into the file
2) Skip to a 'Bookmarked' point
3) Play all files in a folder (I know this has been mentioned before)
4) Have the ability to toggle the play progress bar permanently on or off.
5) Skip by a pre-defined (config file) time period - again I think I've seen mention of this before
Now I realise for 1) you need an index file to do it accurately but + or - several seconds would be fine I think.
Whilst on this subject I find the skip button hard to use. If I press it repeatedly I can pretty easily crash the box. Is this a known problem?
My Actisys IR200L arrived today, I pluged it into com1 and ran the channel changer settings for it. It learned the remote no problem. But I can not get it to do anything beyond that, in live TV I change the channels and nothing happens on the satelite receiver it is supposed to be controling. What am I missing here?
I searched the forums and found one post that said there is no way to disable automatic recording, like when you're just watching tv and it records. I think that it is kinda ridiculous that there is no option to disable this. I mainly use GBPVR to just watch TV and I like the way everything is setup and easy to navigate but I have no need to record anything I watch. Instead I have delete the files GBPVR creates every couple days. Just seems wierd to me that this would not be an option.

I just got myself an ASUS Pundit-r barebone rig and noticed that the onboard graphics chip they use (the Radeon 9100 IGP) has built in MPEG2 decoder. Will this work with GB-PVR?
I have an original 'WinTV-PVR- pci', I think it was replaced by the wintvpvr 350. Is this compatible with this application ? It keeps saying cannot connect with server. I have tried looking through the faq etc. I have never like the haupage software.
i have my mp3 organised by album, how come in the main menu a only few of my album folders show a thumbnail image of the cover when in fact most folders have a cover image (.jpg) in their. its the same few that show up each time however i reorganise, yet these are named or placed no differently from many of the others?
