I have come across a few issues with GBPVR, which is (as I'm sure you hear a lot) a great PVR. So thanks.
However:
1. When I go into either the diskspace or shutdown plug in after the interface has been running for a while ( longer than 3 minutes) I get a windows error that crashes GB-PVR. The error is "Setup Error - Failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your Setup" Â This looks like a .NET issue to me but it only seems to happen on these two plugins when accessed from the main menu. I am using win 2k. Sometimes it won't go away until the config program is run again.
2. The recording service sometimes doesn't seem to  be working quite as planned. I was away last week and set it to record three shows. When I got back the three shows were still in the pending section. I stopped and restarted the recording service and they all went to failed status. Bit of a bummer, but not the end of the world. Anybody else seen this one ?
3. Started using bleb ('cos I'm UK based) and it is great as I really only watch the main five terrestrial channels. Bleb includes the descriptions which XMLTV does not (as it uses the radio times website in the UK and the description bit is broken) However, since changing the EPG I have noticed that browsing the TV Guide with the remote is more awkward. It takes almost always 6 presses of the left or right buttons on the remote to move onto the next program in the list where it only used to take one press with XMLTV. Weirdly enough this is only the case for BBC1 BBC2 and ITV. Channel 4 and channel 5 behave normally.
Let me know if I'm being thick.
Just to say also that I really like the direction this is going, it is much easier to customise skins now and I really like the new features that are coming in. Great work.
