This is not a question but rather a posting with a few
things I learned that may help others.

I recently bought an AverTVHD MCEA180 HDTV card and installed GB-PVR
as (superior) alternative to the AverTV software from Avermedia.

LiveTV plays back smoothly, but when I went to record or timeshift
even using DVR-MS, the recording would freeze.

After many failed attempts, I finally figured out that :

1. I needed to install the Q810243 Update from Microsoft to
allow playing the dvr-ms files used by GB-PVR.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...laylang=en

File; Q810243_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe
Windows XP SP1 Update: Watch TV Shows Recorded by Media Center PCs on Other Windows XP PCs

2. I also needed to update to >= MediaPlayer 9.

I was so happy that this solved the problems and I can now record and
timeshift successfully.

GB-PVR works really well ... playback and recording is much smoother than
the AverTV application, which often had audio/video sync problems,
lockups, etc.

3.
I also learned that there is a keyboard shortcut for displaying
signal strength, which was not listed in the GB-PVR Wiki Keyboard
reference.

The keyboard shortcut for displaying Signal strength is CTRL-O in LiveTV.

Previously, I was switching to the AverTV application just to view
signal strength on the TINY cell-phone style bar graph.
With GB-PVR, the Signal strength meter and quality meter are HUGE
and able to be seen across the room while I adjust my antenna.
Perfection!

I also love the EPG guide support through Zap2it.

No specific reason; I have SP2 on my laptop and it seems OK.
Maybe I'll give it a try sometime.
