The latest card FusionHDTV3 uses a Conexant chip CX23881 .
I think this card could work (have not tried yet) except it might need some additional support.

You mentioned on your configuration page...

[b Wrote:Quote[/b] ]TV Guide Special Task
This option is useful if you want to use an external live TV application - select the path to the .exe file and the arguements your live TV application requires (e.g. "/channel=&quot - the channel can be passed by entering "{channel}" (e.g. "/channel={channel}&quot.

If you think of any other unusual uses for this option....

I have a 900Mhz Athlon with a TNT2 video card and 256MB ram using the pvr-250. I'm running windows xp with sp1. My problem is the menu are a little slow and my video playback and live tv stutters. It skips frames constantly.

My question is do I need more power for this to run better?

Now that the weather plugin works well, I guess it's time to change it

The Weather Channel (http://www.weather.com) offers a free xml weather feed. The also have icons that can be used. I plan on looking at that closer over the next day or two and most likely trying it out. If anyone has any experience with it, please let me know.

Would be great to eliminate having to re-enter Custom Tasks every time there is an version update.

I had six but the nice Shutdown plugin eliminated two of them.

Sub. Whats required to write a channel changer plugin? I have a directv (sat tv in the states) receiver that can be controlled by a serial connection and was thinking of adding that changer.

Just come across GB-PVR and it looks ahem... the nuts. Here's what I'm looking for, If someone can tell me if GBPVR will satisfy my requirements, I'll defect from the #### that is my current myHTPC setup. (Big respect to the meedio massive though it's a top prog).

Before I start here's my rig details...

WinTV PVR350
PACE Sky Digital STB connected to PVR350 via tuner/rf socket
Win XP Home SP1
Shuttle SN41G2
USB UIRT
Girder

Here's what I and the wife (oh god must keep her happy) want to be able to do...

1) LiveTV - with easily configurable channel changing on STB
2) Pause/Rewind Live TV like Sky+
3) Integrated EPG (I'm familiar with Xmltv)
4) Scheduled Recording
5) Season Tickets would be nice too
6) DVD Playback from DVD drive (don't use ripped files)
7) Music module to playback Windows Media Player music library

A couple of questions while I'm at it:

Does the EPG update automatically via windows scheduled tasks? or via a service?
Do I have to teach GBPVR my sky remote commands or use girder?

Thanks for any help with my quest in advance

Hi,

I have a Mini ITX PC a EPIA CL6000, the menu performance is really bad so I'm looking to upgrade it.

I want to stick with the Mini-ITX format and I was just wondering if anyone could share their experience with the EPIA MII 10000 (C3) and performance with menus, also the performance when used with a MediaMVP.

Also probably not the best place to ask, as they come with a fan for the processor does this increase the noise signifcantly ?

Any help at all would be most benificial.

Thanks in advance

I´m looking for a commandline application that can accept a string as input and the overlay it over video being sent to an X-card.

I´m using zoomplayer as my mediaplayer and would like to display messages on my TV over the video from the X-card using a commandline like this:

application_name.exe -mess: Hello World

Is this even possible? Perhaps some of the programmers on this board an help?

regards,

First i've got to say: Great Work!
Your software is much better than the software that came with my PVR-350.

But i've run into a problem. Using the software on my PC, everything is working okay. I can also see the menu at the Media MVP, and select the program guide.

But when I try to play a mpeg / mp3 / live tv from the media MVP, I get a .NET socket error at my PC, causing the mediaMVP to lose the connection:

' Geen toegang tot een verwijderd object met de naam System.Net.Sockets.Socket.'
which is Dutch for 'no access to a deleted object with name 'System.Net.Sockets.Socket'.

It also says something like: System.ObjectDisposedException socket

After this error i've got to restart the mvp server.
I tried to reinstall the .Net framework but that didn't make any difference.

Maybe you've got a clue what the problem is.
Thanks!

Setup:
HP PVR-350
HP Media MVP

A friend just pointed out there is a thread on GB-PVR on the forums at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb today. Currently there are 16 posts, with no one really saying anything other than its annoying it requires the 23mb .net runtime to be installed. Oh well...I guess you cant please everyone.
