In LiveTV mode. Using keyboard I try to change the channel entering 3.1. The 3 appears but no .(period) and then the 1 appears all by itself(the 3 disappears). I also tried the Numeric . with the same result. I can enter 31 but not 3.1 This behavior also occurred in version 3.6.6.
I am currently running Windows 7 on my home PC and NextPVR along with my Happauge 1212 and everything works amazingly well
My question is, I am going to finally take the jump to Windows 10 ( I know NextPVR works fine with Windows 10).
When it comes time to configure my Happauge unit, do I need ANY of the software that came with it? Or, will NextPVR install everything I need (Drivers included)?
Only reason i ask is, when I installed NextPVR originally , I already had the software installed that came with the unit, so, I never really found out if that software is needed or not.
Hello all. before posting this question I did a search on both the forums and general search engine but was unable to find any answers to my question.
Card in use - Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
NextPVR version 3.7.7
I followed directions and did a full scan of channels. NextPVR seems to catch all the channels starting at around channel 30-1. Local channels that are in lower channels (e.g. 4-1, 6-1 etc) are never found. These channels were always discovered when using WMC. The channels above 30-1 are fully discovered and functioning properly. Any advice on how to discover the local channels highly appreciated.
To start with this is a first for me and is a new thing for me.
I have the card connected to a splitter since I believe you need both inputs to be connect in order to record? Both as i said go to a source that is connected via embeded into the wall. I did a test and hooked this cable to my TV directly and their was signal so their is something up with the CARD or the Cable.
I did run the driver installer.
I have NextPVR installed and have directx installed along with. I go to devices and I see 4 devices
ATSC Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA ATSC/QAM Tuner
QAM Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA ATSC/QAM Tuner

I have time warner cable and wish to watch live tv and all that nice stuff. So I click on each one, one after another and tell it to scan All Frequencies (some have this options list 2-3 times) and nothing ever shows up even after waiting 15 mins.
I did a bit of research and I have the Firewall 100% turned off so im kinda lost as to why nothing is being listed.
When I scan for all multiplexes and all channels within those multiplexes, the list of channels seems to be in a random order (I think it may be random within the order in which multiplexes are found, ie with the mux that has the lowest UHF frequency first in the list). The well-known Logical Channel Number (LCN) for each channel does not seem to be used. Is there an easy way to tell the scanning process (either during scanning or afterwards) to assign the correct LCN (eg 1=BBC One, 2=BBC Two, 3=ITV1, 101=BBC One HD etc). I realise that I could go through and manually renumber the channels (Settings | Channels | double-click on channel | change first field in General) but this is a bit tedious; also it may get screwed up if I re-scan in the future.
Given that digital TVs and PVRs, and PC software such as Windows Media Centre, use LCNs as a way to go quickly to a channel, those LCNs are well-known so it seems a good idea if NextPVR could use them :-)
I've only tested with DVB-T (terrestrial transmission) but the same concept exists for satellite (eg Sky)
I suspect that the line "With this app your be able to watch Live TV, view the TV Guide, manage your recording schedule, and watch recordings" may catch the eye and lead to complaints.
May I respectfully suggest a possible draft of an updated description ...
Quote:You need NextPVR software on your Windows PC to use this app to watch Live TV, view the TV Guide, manage your recording schedule, and watch recordings.
NextPVR is free media center software you can install on a Windows PC. NextPVR on Windows enables you to watch and record TV from ATSC / DVB / Analog TV tuners, and other supported video capture devices. NextPVR can be downloaded from http://www.nextpvr.com
Requirements:
- NextPVR 3.7.7 or higher running on a PC on your local network.
- TV Tuner or video capture device supported by NextPVR attached to your Windows PC. NextPVR supports most DVB-T / DVB-C / DVB-S / ATSC / QAM digital tv tuners.
A possiible alternate first line might be ...
Quote:With NextPVR software on your Windows PC, this app allows you to tch Live TV, view the TV Guide, manage your recording schedule, and watch recordings.
But this altenate might be read to imply that NextPVR on the PC is optional.
Apologies if I am stepping on any toes. PS. There are some typos in the existing description that could be tidied.
Hi, I'm a new member and have just installed NextPVR for the first time and am trying to set it up. I've searched the wiki and the forum and I'm confused as to how to organise the channels. Hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction as to my next step.
I have 2 dual-tuners, so 4 devices. I've scanned and found all channels on all 4 devices.
From the sticky at the top of this sub-forum, I'm now wanting to do this:
"Here you can merge channels that are the same across multiple tuners (even of different types), map your channels to your EPG data source (critical), and change the logical channel number assigned to each channel." but I'm not sure what I'm doing.
In my channels list, as #1, I've got 4 instances of 7HD and 4 instances of ONE (which should actually be Channel 1, 7HD is channel 70). As #2, I've got 4 instances of 7flix and four instances of ABC (which is our Channel 2). The 7 channels should be number 70(7HD), 7 or 71 for channel seven etc. I've got at #3 7Perth (channel 7 or 71) and it says there are 4 sources, and at #4 I've got another listing of 7Perth with 4 sources.....
If I open "bulk map", I'm offered the opportunity to merge channels with same name. It seems that that is just merging them for the purposes of the EPG? How does this affect selecting channels to watch or record from?
Could somebody point me in the right direction for sorting this out, so that I end up with just one channel for each station with the number I know it by, eg I can get channel 7 by using #7? If I merge the channels, will the tuners still have the channels? Do I need to keep the multiple sources or I'll be disabling tuners, or???
I didn't want to start a separate thread for every request, so I thought I'd start a generic feature requests thread. Here are mine so far. Note, if these already exist, my bad. I just haven't found them yet.
1- edit a recurring recording: on the web interface I can, for instance, change the recording location. It would also be nice to be able to disable a recurring recording from both the app and the web interface.
2- setup additional options for new recurring recording: right now I can create a recurring recording, but I can't do anything like set an alternate location, set different padding time, change the type of recurrence, etc.
3- have the time format either configurable to 12h/24h or have the app use whatever is set on the phone (assuming you can query the device settings for clock settings).
I've been able to get the iOS client to crash consistently on my iPhone 6S when doing the following:
1- trying to cancel a pending recording (not 100% of the time, but much of the time)
2- trying to cancel a recurring recoding (not 100% of the time, but much of the time)
2- switch away from the tv guide before it fully loads (100% unless I let the screen fully load)
Hi,
I've only recently started using NextPVR as have moved from argus.tv as they have no development for over a year. Gotta say I'm loving it so far, works well with Kodi & seems very stable.
One question I do have is about the ini files for DVB-S, is there a way to get the ini file to support kHz rather than just mHz?
I.e. currently I have :
3=11052,H,23000,34,S2,8PSK
But need to be able to do :
3=11052750,H,23000,34,S2,8PSK
I have looked online and the above is the kHz version, but when I scan with NextPVR it returns nothing, I assume because it is still looking at mHz.
