Hi,

I have problems with manual recordings.

At first I got the "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when trying to set up a manual recording. But when trying some more times, it got accepted BUT now I get the error as soon as I try to view pending recordings.

Is there a possibility to do some "hard reset" on this?

While playing around with manual recordings, I also noted that I could not decrease the stop time past current time, even though I set the recording to happen tomorrow. However I could increment it, and thereby wrap around the stop time and set it correctly.


I still think this is a great program!

I'd like to see the channel icon (or channel number) in all
recordings listings (Ready, Pending,Reoccuring etc.)

It looks like this is the same info that is shown in the EPG,
but I don't see any disadvantages if the channel icon/number
shows up there as well.

This is a great program!

First off, many thanks for help! Donations on the way, this program is great!! Do you take Paypal?

Now, to the bigger question(s)....

I've got digital cable and would like to be able to record stations higher than 125. I am currently using the "video in" on my Hauppauge pvr250 card. I have noticed some solutions for changing cable channles via the computer. But, how do they work with the scheduling of GBPVR?

For example, I want to record channel 325. I've got my software selected to use the "video in" to capture the video. How does GBPVR know to record off of channel 325 at 6pm until 8pm? Does it automatically change the cable channel to 325 and start recording off from the "video in" jack?

I'm concerned that I might purchase something to control the cable box via the computer, only to find it doesn't work with GBPVR.

Last, my cable box has a serial output and USB connection. Does anyone know how to interface the computer to a cable box using these connections?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to understand how everything "goes together".

Thanks in advance!

Stop me if this is already possible, but for all of us with 350's that lock up with with OSD, would it be possible to leave all the OSD functions on the computer monitor and just output the mpeg to the TV screen when Live TV or a file is selected? Basically have it work the same was the Hauppage WinTV2000 appllication works, except actually be useable without a keyboard and mouse unlike the poorly thought out WinTV application. That way we could still have your great easy to use remote interface, TV guide and IR blaster support by putting a monitor next to the TV but still use our hardware decoder.

Ok so I bought a PVR-350 last year because obviously I wanted a PVR in my computer. Well I chose the 350 because I wanted to have my computer desktop be available even while the machine is recording or playing back. But then GB-PVR comes along and makes my card crash all the time but I like the software so much that I'm thinking of selling my 350 and getting a 250 + an ATI Radeon with TV out. So I'm wondering, is there any way to use the Radeon's Dual display function to have GB-PVR play back on S-video out and NOT also display on the current desktop?

I love this program, but as a long time user of myHTPC, I'm trying to come to grips with the TV Guide - actually the fact that for all the screen real-estate at 800x600, I'm not seeing alot of programs, or the channel names (with logos off) wrap.

Has anyone modded the XML file to make more use of the screen area? I'm OK with modding XML myself, but are having a problem trying to work out values for the channel name area (and how to change it's dimensions) and also how to lengthen the area for programs (for each hour).

All help appreciated.

I am downloading an XMLTV file for New Zealand free to air channels
from TV Listings for NZ .

It all works well except that the icons that appear for channel 2
and channel 3 are incorrect.

Channel 2 appears as UPN
Channel 3 apperas as ABC

Can any one suggest a fix?

Thanks

Hi,

I will be setting up a PVR within the next few days (just waiting for my PVR-350) and I was just wondering if there is a way to populate the EPG without a network connection.

I have a high speed internet connection and I have networked several PCs in my home. However, the TV is in the basement and the main computers with internet connection are in the 2nd floor. I know that wired is more reliable and more consistent than wireless so I want to put an ethernet wire all the way to the basement... but I'm having second thoughts... I'm also investigating the 802.11g angle...

Eventually, I will network this PVR PC one way or the other. BUT while it is not yet networked, is there a way for me to populate the EPG maybe from a file that is generated from any of my networked PCs? I was thinking that maybe, I can generate the EPG from a networked PC, copy the file to a removable media (CD, USB drive, etc), then copy it again to the PVR PC?

TIA.

As per the title.......

Is there any support for the Hollywood + Cards (instead of the XCard) for TV Out?

These are a heap cheaper than the Xcard and can be found 2nd hand.

Thanks

I think I'm missing something here.  Let's say today is Monday and I want to schedule the recording of a show on Wednesday.  How do I go about changing the date of the TV listing I'm looking at.  I've poked around these forums and the Zap2It forums, but I just can't seem to find anyone else being as think as me.
