Is NPVR for me?

Dave - referring to the pics posted on the thread http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...el-Changer did Composite stick for you? What did you select as Tuner?

Code:

<tuning> <type>[B][color=red]Analog[/color][/B]</type> <locator> <channel>671</channel> <country>[color=red][B]1[/B][/color]</country> <input>[color=red][B]cable[/B][/color]</input> <source>[B][color=red]composite[/color][/B]</source> <fixed>[color=red][B]2[/B][/color]</fixed> </locator> </tuning>

After you select a channel on your TVGuide (Deoesn't matter if the USBUIRT isn't working right now for this test) can I ask what you got in the Nrecord.log for the items in red above?

Thanks! - So close but so far. This and USBUIRT are the last pieces in my GBPVR =>NPVR switchover puzzle.

For the Tuner I input 'composite'. I didnt change anything else (country, tuning) added xmltv file to identify channels.
NRecord.log shows
<tuning>
<type>Analog</type>
<locator>
<channel>19</channel>
<country>44</country>
<input>antenna</input>
<source>Composite</source>
<fixed>2</fixed>
</locator>
</tuning>

Found an old thread in GB-PVR Support http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...sbuirtsend

Place a copy of usbuirtsend.exe in a convenient folder
Place a copy of your existing IR Definition in a convenient folder
If your definition file is **.txt rename it **.dat

Add usbuirtsend.exe to the Executable
In the arguments type in quotes the dat file location (eg "C:\Program Files\NPVR\IR Definitions\VBox.dat" {channel})
Change the channel Number from 1-? to the numbers required by your set top box (eg 101, 102, 103 etc) The Tuner-Channel: number will be changed after you click OK

Mine worked in both manual channel change and recording.

Thanks Dave,

I actually already have success with USBUIRTSEND working, what doesn't work, is it doesn't save the channel when importing an XML. I have raised this in another thread.

Cheers
