HVR-1950 and FM Radio

[thankfulluser]

Folks,

First I want to say GREAT JOB on this software, I have reviewed and tested many otheers and I like this the best.

I have the latest GBPVR installed on windows XP SP3, on a e6600 dual core box.

Everything works great, however, I am baffled as to how to hook up the FM RADIO from the 1950 into the GBPVR software. I have FM Radio on the plugins list, but no edit options, I have the FM Radio softwar from hauppauge installed on my desktop and it works. I just can't seem to connect the dots to plug it into the GBPVR.

Any tricks to this? Stepped instructions would be greatly appreciated, if anyone has gotten this to work.

Thanks in advance for any help

There is no FM radio these days in GB-PVR.

There used to be FM radio support in the old GBPVR.exe user interface, but when it was replace with PVRX2.exe a couple of years ago, this same functionality was not redeveloped in the new UI.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Sub is there any way for me to do this via a plugin? If you provide an interface as simple as the digital recording interface, I'd like to give it a go in WebRadio. It might lead some people to the local online stations which I find sound better than the FM on my PVR 150 ever did.

If you're lucky, you can use the same IRecordingSource interface, on an analog DirectRecordingSource class, to call canRecordFMRadio() to check it has the capability, then IRecordingSource.startFMRecording("c:\somefile.mp3", 106000000);

Same warning as before though - these interfaces do change from time to time, so not generally safe to use them (also, used this way, recording service doesnt know they're in use).

Thanks I'll see how lucky I am. I definitely understand the limitations, I don't mind staying on the edge anyway.
