A friend just gave me a Hauppage WinTV FM card (no PVR mentioned - I think it might be a 'To GO' version) for free.

Is there any way to get this PCI card running with GBPVR - the card isn't mentioned in the settings and I have tried various combinations of other setting with no success. I just get the 'failed to communicate with recording service' message.

Or is it a case of this card just being no good for the task.

TIA

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a full listings XMLTV Guide for Sky UK.
As mentioned in another post the BLEB UK is ok but it dosen't list all channels.

Regards

Hello All !
Could anyone please help me to find out if there is a way to set time correction for TV Guide ? I.e. - if I am in Europe (GMT+1) and receive let's say BBC listing from UK (with time set to GMT) - that would give me 1 hour shift. Of cause it's possible to set computer clock to GMT - but may be there is a better way ?

yesterday i updated to the ne release. first of all: great changes, the tv-guide-screen is much better now.

when i press pause in live-tv no osd is displayed. pressing the blue button or play shows it again. when i pause, then rewind, then play the picture freezes. when i click play again gbpvr exits live-tv and goes back to main menu.

there is no mini-guide-information available. my epg didn't change, the tv-guide is populated, but the minguide says that there is no information.

when i want to jump to a channel by number i can see the number displayed in the left corner. pressing enter changes to the same channel (the picture flickers, pauses and then plays again).

sorting the music library causes a .net-error: "Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt" -> this means something like: "the object-reference points to no object-instance" (bad translation, sorry). i get this error when there are folders in the music library. sorting subfolder containing only files brings no error, but i cannot see any sorting.

again, thanks for the new release! if it helps, i can reproduce the errors and send you the log-files.

edit: i found another problem: everytime gbpvr updates the epg-data it adds the channels to the bottom of the old ones. yesterday i had 34 channels, a few minutes ago i had 68 and now there are more than 90 channels. every channel is displayed 3 times and they are absolutely the same.

I tried the new feature to turn off the 350 OSD but it still locks up when I try to change the chanel. Any idea what else might be going on here?

I would like for it to be able to get the album cover from the ID3 tags.

I need to control my sat reciever(s) from GB-PVR, so I've looked around for IR-blasters and found a lot of references to USB UIRT.

I've only seen the +56kHz sensor version sold at http://www.usbuirt.com and It's quite expensive to get it shipped to me (in sweden).

So before I make my order, does anyone know if the USB UIRT is as good as it seems?

I've just uploaded the next release. You can download it from http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR0205.msi

There isn't really any new big flashy features in this release. Just lots of small fixes and tweaks. There is also the basis for multi-language support, which will please a few of our european friends.

You can just install this release over the last release, and it will retain most of your settings.

Can I install GB-PVR on my windows 2000 server? I dont want my xp machine to be tied up when recording/watching, and am wondering if i can use my server

Sub or anyone,

Can you tell me what the command line switch is for launching a dvd that has been saved to the hdd. These are easy to find for players like zoomplayer as the are on the website but not so for the xcard player. Does GB-PVR create a virtial disc to launch the files from?

Am I making sense?
