Is it possible to change the PVR350 TV Out switching to independent options for Live TV and Playback display.? i.e. 1. 'Internal display/monitor on/off' and 2. TV Out on/off'

The computer is a dedicated Multimedia machine in a unit set aside for Hi-Fi, A/V Receiver, video, DVD player etc. My configuration needs the monitor output for control purposes and the PVR TV Out for viewing. A bonus is the on-screen display provided by GB-PVR on the TV for remote control of the play functions.

I have been using WinTV2000 with all its drawbacks. This does cater for both displays to be active at the same time.

A sound mute on the local, computer side, as in WinTV to prevent a clash of out-ofsync audio is also needed.

Does anyone else need this facility?

Thanks

Some of the presets for net radio have stopped working. In some cases it was a simple case of replacing the .pls file with an updated one from the site, as some sites have changed their streaming. However, even after doing so some don't work. They play fine in winamp (and in fact come up very quickly) but just don't work in GB's net radio interface. Anyone else having problems?

I just finished setting up my GBPVR and love it; I have a PVR-250 and a MediaMVP. I have a couple of questions though.

1. How do the quality settings work? There is one high quality and one standard quality profile.

2. What setting should I use to get the best playback through the MVP?

Thanks

sub,

I have created a small console app in VB.Net which runs the RedRat IR Blaster. All works fine when I test it using command line e.g. "RedRover 106". I have setup gbpvr to call the external .exe and use as it's sole parameter {channel}. When I select Live TV the RedRover.Exe throws an exception System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: Failed to create system
events window thread inside my code. I trawled round MSDN and other web sites and the only thing I have seen is an issue with a system service not being set to interact with the desktop.

Is the .exe called from the GBPVRRecordingService? Has something changed in release 16 (as this worked fine in release .15?)

Hi sub,
I have the Xcard installed with the PVR 350 & it is working fabulously ! NO CRASHING with OSD !!
The picture quality is excellent, so thanks for the advice on this one.
The only issue i have is with the scrren position of the graphics of the OSD - they are too far off to the left & right
the setup section of the Xcard in the config app doesn't give the option of left right offset ( they are greyed out ) , only top & bottom have available settings.

any suggestions ??

thanks

Chuck

Given that the OSD on the Sigma XCard is only capable of 256 colours, it would be good to have a skin built with this in mind.

the green skin is OK, but there are pretty bad dithering glitches at the edges.
The other skins look really bad.
cosmetic only, so not major.

It would be good to have a notification of a recording occuring in the taskbar, with the option of seeing the next scheduled recordings when you hover your mouse over it..
what do you think ??
I have been opening the app and going to the recordings page to check to make sure they are occuring.

I need some extra functionality out of the manual recording option:

1) a way to enter the channel number directly. Scrolling from 200 to 700 is very painfull.

2) if it is possible, allow a channel that is not in the guide to be recorded. XML TV does not have listings for PPV, so I can never record them

That would make the manual recording feature extremely useful for me.

Thanks Sub, excellent work so far!

Hi all,
Just started using the program. I downloaded the weather plugin and installed it ok. Set the 'zip-code' as per the instructions (UKXX0072 for Ipswich, UK). At first I was able to get weather details. Then I exited the program and restarted it. When I now select weather, I get the message window reading 'Error: Input string was not in a correct format.'
I've checked the plugin settings, they are still the same - any ideas?

Ian.

Have anyone else got error: input string was not in a correct format.

If I use Finnish as my locale, I get this error when trying to use e.g. DiskSpace or Wheather plugin. With English (United States) both plugins work correctly.
