I've done a search on the forum, and it seems that most people agree if you only want to capture from a vcr, it's better to use a program such as Wintv. However, I cannot get WinTV to work for me with Vista. I can't get any picture with it, and I'm tired of messing with it...
I used to use GB-PVR when I had digital cable about 4 years ago, and at that time I really liked it. But now I have Dish and a DVR, so I don't really need the EPG options and all that. I'm only interested in doing manual recordings, mainly capturing old VHS tapes, and very rarely I might hook up to my DVR to capture a pre-recorded program.
So I guess what I'm needing to know, is are there any special things I should do when I install GB-PVR to try it? I mean since I won't need and won't be using EPG, how do I tell GB-PVR that? Or is there a different program (not WinTV) that would be better for me to try?
By the way, I'm on 32bit Vista, and my PVR250 is recognized by Vista.
Thanks for any help or suggestions...
