Just wondering if this could be the cause of my frequent lockups, should the hauppage software be removed? Is the lastest driver off their web site the good one to use for the PVR-350?

I do not have a channel switcher yet so I just watch through my PVR-350 what my satelite tuner puts out through the S-Video. How can I pick up this feed with GB-PVR? I can't find anything that says line in or video, it just keeps asking for channel listings.

Just installed the Hauppauge 250 card. For about 1 second I can see the picture, then it goes black. The sound is still there....

I can see the picture fine using WinTV2000 which comes with the card. I cannot use GBPVR.

I guess there is a setting I need to change to make this work. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

does gbpvr support overlay on the x-card?

Looks like many people like this crad, but it lacks the support from media center developer like sage ...etc.?

Can I use this card (x-card) to do my TV-out with overlay, get program guide ...etc. and play dvd?

Thanks in advance...

Hi all,
I have finally managed to get live TV out with all my channels by resetting the channels using SAGE etc. But now my TV listings won't work. I use 02 Grabber for Norway TV listing. The error I get is: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: "26" Key being added:"26".
I have no clue what this means. So if anyone can help, I would be very happy.
Thanks,
Mikkel

I have an Hauppauge PVR 250 and is searching for a good software for it. GB-PVR seems to be a good choise.
But I have a question regarding the OSD. Is it an display over the TV image shown only on the computer screen or is it also streamed with the picture to the TV (if I use that way of watching the picture)?

Hi,

To get to the point: my color settings are screwed Looks like there's too much white or contrast maybe. I have been playing around with other pvr software so it may be that one of those has screwed up the settings. There are no settings in gbpvr but is there any way I can set the colours right using the wintv app or something? Or maybe a registry location?

Also will it be possible in the future to set the colors from within gbpvr?

Thanks

Hi

After some tricky setting up (XMLTV confused me and it took some forum searching to find what i was doing wrong! i find that when i start GB-PVR from the start menu it reboots my PC, telling me XP had recovered from a serious error.
Of course i have no idea what that error was (thanks Windows!
Now im pretty novice, but normally figure things out through a bit of trial and error, and much advice from great forums like this but i have no idea where to start on this one! Any suggestioons would be welcome.

Setup as follows:
K6/2 - 450 (i know but its old and does the job ok)
256mb mem, PVR-350, 10/100 ethernet, Radeon 9200SE (rubbish and pretty much obsolete card when i get GB-PVR running) Win XP Pro (no SP1 though? - dial up conn)

I got my PVR-250 today and have been experimenting. Most of the stuff I expected to have to fiddle with has worked straight away. Like the EPG and plugins.

What I can't get though, is the higher channels. I've got channels ranging from 5 through 47. There are no channels between 11 and 22 so I don't know exactly where the problem starts, but 11 I get, while 22 and above are static. The channels "up there" work fine in WinTV2000. It's as if it tries to tune there but just can't make it and ends up someplace else. The static differs and is recognizable for each channel.

In case it's relevant, in order to get anything at all I had to switch from cable to antenna in the tuning settings. Apart from that I've tried changing the country and shuffling the assigned channel numbers. No luck getting the missing few.

Anybody got any ideas? Did I miss something? I figured a search for "channel" in all groups ought to do the trick if anybody else has had this problem, but didn't see any topics that seemed relevant.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

HI,

I just stumbled over GB-PVR and it looks great, but I miss some stuff, mainly on the EPG (TV guide) screen:

1) Current time and date,
when browsing around I lose track of time  

2) Current shows marked,
just as the selected program is shown (in green in the blue skin) I'd like to see all shows currently running marked in some other color (blue?)

3) Is there a way to get back to current day and time in the EPG,
I did not find a key for this (<HOME> did not work)

and perhaps also

4) Show exact start time (HH:MM) on main EPG screen,
together with the descripion shown when a show is selected (eliminating the need for bringing up the details windows)
