Problems with Program Guide

[aspwebwiz]

I have 2 problems :

(1) I am using the PVR-350 Card's TV Out and cannot record any shows since the TV Program guide has suddenly stopped working - I only get the channel logos - no guide. Of couse, first thing to check was to make sure that the EPG Update was working and I had the right username/pwd for the Zap2It service. I checked and both are correct - by logging in directly to the site. Internet connection is fine too. This was working fine before. I have the latest Hauppauge drivers - and I have tried reinstalling everything. I am using GBPVR v .227 ( I had other problems with the latest version so I unistalled it and reinstalled 227 )
Please note - I can play back all previously recorded shows and the OSD menu works fine too.

(2) Anytime there is a problem with GBPVR - I get the error message "Unable to run this command " and have to reboot the system to get GBPVR to work again. Restarting the service does not help. Also in this case strangely the GBPVR icon also changes from the normal GBPVR symbol to an icon for a file that Windows does not recognize.

Any ideas ? thanks in advance.

Zap2it changed their data format about a week or so ago. Sub made changes in release 23.13 to correct it, so I think you're out of luck with this older version.

Thanks - I thought I would have better luck trying the new maintenance  release 2313 - but no such luck !  The Zap2It EPG problem gets fixed BUT  - big problems with Live TV and TV Out - randomly.  So I had to uinstall and reinstall the older 227 build.
So I am in a real fix - with the stable older 227 build the Zap2It EPG does not work and I cannot record any shows except live tv !!

Is there any way to get Program listings any other way into GBPVR - maybe manually update the program guide using the new Zap2it files ?


TIA

you could use XMLTV instead of Zap2It
