Bad things have been happening with me and GBPVR lately and I am sure to blame. First gbpvr would go to the windows installer anytime I would start it or the config or anything really. I searched and found posts regarding this that stated sometimes this happens when shortcuts are moved. Well, this was not what I had done and I even went to the extent of trying to get it to start from the .exe's that are in the program folder...still no go. So I decide to scrap everything (maybe not my best idea) and do an over install (already had latest ver.) after backing up my config.xml and my gbpvr.mdb. Well, there was no gbpvr.mdb to be found, just one that was close...like gbpvr-reinstated.mdb or something. So I backed that one up instead. Did the reinstall, changed the file name of the .mdb to what I thought it should of been and tried again. So now it at least starts with out going to the windows installer, but I have a new slew of problems. I also needed to do a manual update of my epg cause the guide was empty.
First, all of my recordings showed up but some have a failed in red after them and others are fine. Can't find any rhyme or reason to why some fail and some haven't.
Second, and the title of this post, my recordings seem to be happening on a random channel. For example, my little lady has general hospital set up to record each day and before now this has always worked fine. Today it recorded at the right time but it recorded channel 3 instead of channel 5. Then I tested it tonight by recording the fox 47 news at 10 (channel 7). Again it recorded at the right time but the wrong channel, this time it picked channel 55 (mtv). The guide shows them in the proper channel and we used it to set up these recordings.
Unless the failed recordings can be saved, I figure I mind as well just completly start from scratch 'cause I've got nothing but time to loose, but I don't know how. Maybe that isn't needed and this can all be fixed some other way...
Please help, laymen terms and directions only please (threads on this board comonly go right over my head, lol.) Thanks for any thoughts you can offer.
