GB-PVR reports PVR250 asleep

[sonnybadbutt]

When I fire up GB-PVR all I get is a black screen. Status says PVR-260 is asleep. I have added the card in my capture config. When I use the Wintv 2000 program everything works fine. Any ideas?

Its normal that the PVR250 would be asleep - until you try to use it.

If the screen is black, its most likely because your video card doesnt adequately support Direct3d. What video card do you have?

[sonnybadbutt]

It is a NVIDA RIVA TNT. It never goes off of sleeping when I am trying to view my tv through it.

I dont really know that videocard, but I suspect as I said above that it isnt up to the direct3d requirements of the app.

TNT was released before the first geforce range, if that helps, I suspect you need to set your gbpvr to overlay, if your using pvrx2 then i think your out of luck.

just to clarify: herbs means to set your renderer to overlay in the config.exe AND stick to using gbpvr.exe instead of pvrx2.exe.
