Does gbpvr record in 5.1 audio? I am using an HD PVR from Hauppauge. Currently it is recording AC3 2 channel audio. Thanks.

It's going to be a function of your source. I'm not very familiar with the HD device, but I think you're only putting a stereo source so you're not going to get a 5.1 from that (I think it's component in + stereo audio (red and white RCAs.))
I record HD QAM via cable and record to dvr-ms format and I do get 5.1 playback on those channels FWIW, YMMV [SIZE="1"]Server rebuild:GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H, CPU AMD X2 4850e 2.5GHz 45W,2GB RAM,500GB HD,Hauppauge HVR-1600,Vista Ultimate SP1,IN WIN BK623 Mini case Client:ASUS AMD M3A78-EMH HDMI motherboard,CPU AMD64 X2 3800+,2GB RAM,200GB HD,ATI HD3200 integrated graphics, WIN XP SP2 Pro,MCE303 case, 2x16 VFD, Irtrans MCE remote [/SIZE] [SIZE="1"] How to Build your own GB-PVR HTPC computer[/SIZE] [SIZE="1"]GB-PVR in action on YouTube[/SIZE]

I do not own a HD PVR (but have been considering purchasing it once its more "stable" and have followed its progress off/on).... anyways, last I read was Hauppauge had released new drivers that record in 5.1. This was sometime back and the drivers were still "beta" although quite a few people were able to get it to work. Not sure if the drivers have matured enough now that they not in beta anymore but maybe one of the more experienced guys/owners overs here might chime in on this. HTH, Edit: Per Hauppauge's website looks like the drivers are not in beta anymore. Good luck! -Topper

Yeah, my source is only stereo at the moment. I am upgrading some hardware to get the 5.1. I didn't want to shell out the cash until I knew gppvr would do the 5.1
The HD PVR does 5.1 (i've tested it with XBOX)

I have a Hauppauge HD PVR and I am recording 5.1 AC3 audio through the optical input and it sounds good. I get a popping sound when recordings first start and I am using the optical input. It also freezes sometimes (the red light stays on and it becomes unresponsive.) My revision is C2. The quality of the recordings from this device is very good and it is hard to tell the difference between the recordings and watching it straight from the source. I am thinking of sending back my HD PVR to get a newer revision and hopefully this will fix my problems. If someone here has sent back their PVR I would like to know how it went for you and if the newer revision is any better. I would also like to know what you had to do to send it back and if you have any recommendations for me to make it go easier.
