Brand New. PVR????

[GregS]

Hi Gang,
I'm looking into trying to set up a recorder through my computer. My question concerns the TV Guide factor involved in this project. I presently use Cox cable and was wondering whether a GBPVR set up will provide the guide necessary to record and playback high definition TV through my computer. Additionally, does anyone know of a place that has the basic setup including hardware, plug-ins, etc that would be necessary to get me going. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Overall it's a great idea, but the amount of information available anded to the different configurations people use can overwhelm a person when trying to figure out their configuration.
Thanks Much
Greg S

NPVR or GBPVR doesnt provide any Guide information, but in that part of the world you can supply listings from several sources:

- XMLTV files using free utilities like mc2xml. There are other free ones, but I forget their names.
- XMLTV files using pay services like Schedules Direct
- Schedules Direct (integrated instead of via xmltv).
