A Few Minor Problems and Questions

[mas0nite]

1) After I record a show I go into my recordings and click on the one I want to watch and then select play. But when I do this nothing happens, the menu that lets me select (play delete or cancel ) just goes away and nothing plays.

2) When I am in LiveTV mode I want to be able to rewind. From what I gathered I need to be in "Timeshifting mode". So I Press the pause button and then it says something like "going into timeshifting mode, please wait" or something similar. It just stays on this screen and nothing happens.

3)Do you need to be in "Timeshifting mode" to be able to pause rewind LiveTV?

I have a pvr-250 card on an AMD Athlon XP 2600+...Thanks for the help in advance...everyone is awesome on these forums.

1) & 2) sound like you dont have an MPEG2 decoder installed on your machine.

Yes, you need to be in timeshift mode to rewind TV. If you think this is a feature you'll use often you may want disable 'live preview' mode in the config app so that its always in timeshift mode. Timeshift mode does mean much slower channel change times though.

'rewind' in particular can be a bit hit or miss depending on what video decoders you're using etc. Most people use skip instead, or configure GB-PVR to use short skip instead of rewind (ie press rewind and it'll jump back ten seconds, press it again and go another 10 seconds).
