Hi !
Sub, congrats on your work, it sure beats what Intervideo has done for the Plextor PX-M402U.

My PC setup is: powerful 64bit CPU, WinXP, 512MB RAM

My video input setup is: Little known digital TV provider ("Look" is their name; Zap2it doesn't list it), using S-Video Out from receiver, feeding it to PX-M402U

What I wish to do is: simply, use GB-PVR to schedule recurring recordings; I don't need to (anyway I can't with that setup) control the DTV receiver channel changes (I use the receivers' built-in timers to do that); all I want to do with GB-PVR is control the day, start & end time of recordings (similar to what AVI_IO offers, but AVI_IO doesn't support the M402U).

I must be doing something wrong, because I can't, in the Manual Recording menu, control "record start time" or "recording duration", or "recording quality", etc.; I always get a 1-hour recording with starting time incrementing by 10 minutes depending on actual time.

Can I use GB-PVR without a EPG, i.e. have a 1 channel setup only, where I could manually decide recording parameters ("once on dd/mm/yy", "once a week", "weekdays", "weekends", "once a month", etc.) ?

You can actually type in numbers to set the start and duration times for manual recording. Or you can use the arrow/cursor keys to increment the times.

I'm using the Plextor with manual recording and it works as it should for me.

Hi AEROCORP.

You should be able to manually add one channel called something like "Look". WHen you schedule recording etc, this will be the only channel option and should give you the desired result.

Oh, do I ever feel dumb... [Image: tounge.gif]

I realized a few minutes later I could navigate using the arrow keys (from the responses I also discovered I could enter digits directly).

One question remains, though; I noticed with Zap2it I have this account "free" until the end of the year. Since it's of no use to me because I can't control channel changing with my setup, is Zap2it an essential component to get GB-PVR working and enabling me to schedule recordings ?

P.S.: Little suggestion; do you think the available choice for any input could be arranged in a circular fashion, to quicken selection when the list of choices for a given field is long ?

Thnaks, and again, great software, Sub !
