I'm surprised not to see this anywhere in here, but since I'm about to buy a TV Card, I thought I would get some input as to who's card to buy or avoid.

Maybe from a cost/performance perspective.

Personally, cost is an issue since I'd like set up a system with a couple cards.

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a pixelview TV@P7000 card which apparently uses the Roslyn/blackbird chip and I noticed on the front page that it states GB-PVR supports the card. So I'm wondering if anyone has experience of the card and if so how well is it supported in GB-PVR i.e can I use the remote to control GB-PVR?
Thanks in advance.

I now have a rather large collection of movies/shows recorded.
The hauppage remote scrolling is quite slow ( the keyboard is fast )
the Folder organisation is great, but with a long list, its pretty still pretty slow.

at the simplest level, just using the numbers in a 'phone like' manner ( 1=ABC 2=DEF etc ) to jump alphabetically down the list.
better would be a autocompleting popup or temporary filter
ie start typing the name & it autocompletes with the matched name

Hi,

Would it be an idea to have an option "shutdown after recording" for each recording? That way the PC is not unnecessary on.
In the same line it could be useful to schedule a shutdown via the recordingservice. Like shutdown everyday at say 0:30, except when recording, then shutdown after recording is finished.

BTW I have a windows scheduled task to shutdown at 0:45, however, it doesn't work after a recording...

Hi,

Yesterday I recorded a movie and everything looked allright. When the recording stopped, however, the pc hung and did so quite badly, only power off/on worked. GBPVR told me the recording had failed, but I wanted to play the file. So in the recordings window, I clicked OK on the failed recording and immediately clicked OK again... but that deleted the file...

Two things:
1. what could be the cause of this hanging at the end of a recording (I had experienced this once or twice before).
2. could it be an idea to reverse the exit and delete buttons in the details view of a failed recording? The chance of accidentally deleting a file is reduced that way.

Greetings,
MaBo

I'm using the WinTVCap plugin to schedule recordings in v0.16  The first recording scheduled since the GBPVR recording service starts records fine, but all future recordings fail (until the service is restarted).

The end of my gbpvrrecordingservice.exe.log file is provided below.  The last three lines of the log file repeat until the service is restarted.  Let me know if you'd like me to send the entire log file, or if there's anything else you need to know.

Hi Sub,
As i can't get reliable playback with the OSD on the PVR 350 card, I am considering adding the Sigma card to my rig.

can you give me a run down of how well this card is working with GBPVR ??
I know there have been a number of issues with the operation of the 350 card & the OSD ( with GB PVR & Sage ) So i think there may be a fundamental HW issue there.. )

thanks

Chuck

Hey All,

I have a basic email plugin writen for getting pop3 mail. Its very basic at the minute but I want to write it in a way so that people can simply get their email, read the contents and view images. Other attachments could be viewed dependent upon other plugins available.

I'm thinking of showing who its from and the subject line. The body of the message will be shown and the user will have the option of viewing image attachments if they exist.

Once I get it that far I'll send out a pointer to dll and src code.

Cheers,
Colin.

I think the mediaMVP needs a good documentation to get people started. I am willing to do one, if it is not already done and just not published on the web.

Any suggestion/comments?

Must have missed this somewhere but...

How do I pause, FF , etc in liveTV using the keyboard?
