is this bda.grf "normal"?

Like I said, is this bda.grf normal?



Pinnacle 300i
WinXp Sp2
GBPVR 0.97.9

It looks fine to me. Are you worried about the fact that a couple of the filters are disconnected?

This is normal when saving graphs depending on the type of filter. In my case, I normally see the Sections and Tables filter still connected but the DVBT Network Provider disconnected.

Well, what worries me is that gbpvr doesn't work for me and I hoped that I can get some answers if a post such a beautiful picture.
The problem: no channels even though when searching for them founds the quality and strength 100. MediaCenter from Pinnacle works great, but god I hate the gui (slow and impossible to work with). It took me 4 reboots to install this crappy software (Pinnacle's): update after update and again update and so on. But it works.
I just want to know if there is some one with Pinnacle 300i that actually works with gbpvr.
Thanks a lot!

Peace out!

Try editing config.xml (use Notepad - NOT Wordpad).

You should find the following...

<BDAScanType>1</BDAScanType>

Valid values are 1 or 2. You might need to restart the recording service after editing the config.xml for it to take effect. Hope it helps.

Thanks, but nothing.
I don't know, maybe because there is MediaCenter installed or...I don't know.
I will stick with MediaCenter.
Thanks anyway!

Peace out!

I just looked at your graph again and spotted the AC3 filter. I also spotted that my config.xml has an entry for...

<BDAIgnoreAC3Channels>

Not sure what it does (although it suggests it ignores channels with an AC3 audio content ). My config.xml has it set to 'true' which is fine as normal UK DVB-T doesn't use AC3. In your situation, I'd probably try setting it to false and see if that helps.

... I tried everything, nothing works!
The kicker is that now even MediaCenter doesn't work like it suppose to, I mean like in the begin with the fresh installation: now is missing channels, crashes time to time (and the system with it) etc. I hate pinnacle with all my heart!
I will uninstall mediacenter and maybe when I feel like it will change the PCI slot cause I believe I have some problems in there (I really hope I don't).
Fuck that!
A, one more thing: I know it's not your problem but just for saying when I tried to record something with this MediaCenter shit frames were dropping like crazy! But this was happing only in digital mode!
Anywho, thanks for all your advices!

Peace out!
