I spend quite some time adding and arranging my dutch channels in the channel list.

When i want to update to a newer version of GBPVR, what is the best option to keep my configured channels ?

Thanks !

When starting V0.10 on a XP system with a PVR-350 card I have the following problem :

- start gbpvr
- gbpr window appears on desktop
- video out of PVR-350 only shows colored bars

My "hobby bob" workaround at the moment
- start wintv 2000 application
- correct gbpvr output is shown
- close wintv 2000

It happens after a clean start up and also after a standy.

Could this be hauppauge driver related ? the drivers are not the newest, I checked some time ago but the drivers available then were less stable~~(= not workable )

Or might some initialization of gbpvr go wrong ?

Thxs !

Any plans for any HD card support? I was thinking maybe the Fusion I/II like myHTPC/GotTV supports.

When you play a wide screen movie (e.g. 16:9) through GBPVR, the image will be stretched to fill the entire (4:3) screen, thereby making everyone seem rather tall

Have I not found the right setting, or is this something that needs to be rectified?

I'ved checked my local Fry's, eBay, and all over the 'net, but i can't find a vendor that has the PVR-350 in stock. Does anyone know of a vendor that has them?

Thanks,

Hi Sub,

How close is H+ support?

P.

I'm about to order a PVR-350, and I've read that their software is pretty much crap. Are any of the Hauppauge drivers or software necessary or will the GB-PVR software handle all this for me?

Thanks,
Joe

Is there a way to manually enter the codes for the USB UIRT for the channel numbers? My remote is very picky on learning codes and it would be WAY easier to manually enter them (I have the codes from Girder).

Thanks,

I just installed gbpvr i havent use it much but I have to say it is perfect for what I need. I do have one small question. It says in the the Operation documentaion

"There is no limit to the number of recordings that GB-PVR can manage.  The only limiter is the amount of disk space you have available to store the MPEG files."

Does gbpvr delete the oldest show to make room for the next recording?

Great work on the software, I'm looking forward to future releases.

Hello all. I am new to this group and have some questions regarding GB-PVR. My basic setup includes a Video Server in my office that has about 300 gigabytes of harddrive space dedicated to video recording, a Hauppauge PVR-250 Card (Comcast Cable - Analog Channels), AMD Athlon 1500+, 256 Megabytes PC-2100 DDR ram, Windows XP Professional, and currently using SageTV as my PVR App.

Out on my home entertainment center which includes a Mitsubishi 55" Diamond Series Hi-Def capable television, Hauppauge MediaMVP device, RJ-Tech DIVX capable DVD player, VCR, Comcast Digital Cable, etc.

When I first got started looking at PVR applications, I was taken by Snapstreams BeyondTV 3. I purchased the software and realized it wasn't what I was looking for (anyone want to buy a copy of BeyonTV 3 cheap?). The fact that it could not stream MPEG2 or DIVX across the network (only WMV) was a downer. ANd I had problems with recording...it just seemed to not record the programming that I asked it to record. So then I started looking at SageTV. I liked SageTV very much. The fact that it could stream MPEG2 video across the network to it's client on any PC was an excellent feaure. And from what I can tell, if you have the approproate codecs installed, you can literally stream just about anything.

Enter the Hauppauge MediaMVP device. I love this device...no noisy computer in the entertainment center. The only pitfalls with it is it currently cannot decode anything but MPEG-2 Video. If Hauppauge can write their code to transcode the video on the fly from the video server and play it through the MediaMVP, I think they'd have a winning device. I would have bought the Pinnacle Showcenter at three times the price of the MediaMVP, but not after reading the Pinnacle chat groups and all the problems people have been having with the Showcenter.

Ok, so I guess I should get to my questions. I have not settled on a PVR app yet (haven't purchased SageTV yet). I'm considering going with GB-PVR solely based on the fact that it supports the MediaMVP as a client. I would absolutely be willing to support the author of GB-PVR in any way I can if development for the MediaMVP continues. For those of you that have been using GB-PVR with the MediaMVP device as a client, how has it worked for you? Even more importantly, how does GB-PVR currently compare to other PVR apps such as SageTV? Does GB-PVR support features such as network streaming of video and intelligent recording? And finally, is it the author's intention to ultimately make this a commercially available product that will be available for purchase?

Appreciate the information and thanks for taking the time to read all of this.

Best Regards,
Chris Thompson
