GBPVR as frontend

[robconn]

I have a very good DVR deck for recording, and an old. and slow pc running GBPVR...It does not encode smootly .I have Dish with guide issues, so I want the guide from GBPVR and most of the other features, but would prefer to just record direct to dvd, I can set up the timers on everything, but would like to use GBPVR to do it all, My issue is that I cannot select from the guide, and issue commands to each device, dish and DVR, without having GB try to record to hard drive.
Is there a way? Am I missing something?

I think you're using the wrong product! gbpvr isn't a front end to other devices, it's not an EPG with control functions. You might be able to get it to work if you can get it to fire off some batch files that automate some IR signals but I seriously think it's not worth it.
