Interesting.... this looks VERY similar to the error that I am having whenever I try to start live tv (I posted about this in the MVP forum). I too have XP SP2 and a linksys router (BEFW11S4); things I have tried, without success:

- Switched the dongle.bin for an older version (seems more stable overall, but I still have no live tv).
- Disabled the SP2 firewall and the AV.
- Deleted the gbpvr exclusion from the firewall and re-added it.
- Played around (and around and around....) with preplay delay times, etc.

As I say, all without success, so any pointers are more than welcome to getting my tv back!

I have tried to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing because it would be a major PITA, but if it would help I'm considering it....

Incidentally, As I am sitting typing this, gbpvr.exe is at 40% cpu usage and 78meg - and I am doing nothing. Not watching anything, not recording anything; does this sound normal? I don't recall it ever being above 10% when it was "doing nothing"...

thanks

The memory seems about right, but that CPU usafe doesnt seem right. Is the gbpvr.exe.log file full of one specific repeating error?

Just ignoring the MVP for the moment, can you watch live tv on your PC (specifically interested in timeshift mode)?

Just noticed the commercials are not skipped on my MVP, but are on my TV computer.
If I bring up the OSD on the MVP, no commercials are shown cut. Same file on my tv, shows the cut commercials.

MVP issue??

Just tried Live TV on the PC in timeshift mode and:

It seemed to take a looong time before it came on ("Starting Timeshift Mode, Please Wait" was displayed for about 15secs), then when it started it I had sound only, no picture or overlay and couldn't exit. Had to kill it in task manager.

Strange though, everything I schedule to record works fine.

Hope this helps - thanks for all the hard work, patience, etc...

I just tried timeshifting and it worked for me. Took a few secs as usual, OSD came up. Watched for a few mins, rewound, watched, fast forward.

All worked fine.

Since the 0.9310 release, all my recordings are either too dark or are way off in color settings. The last release that works for me (and my current version) where my hardcoded direct.ini settings actually work is 0.9211. Any version after that when I upgrade, the brightness, contrast, saturation, etc in the direct.ini don't work.

I have a dual tuner setup with one PVR150 and one PVR150MCE.

Do you have any ideas on what could be causing this problem? I have not tried doing a clean install yet, but that will be my next step.

Custom direct.ini settings are not preserved when you upgrade. You need to make a backup of direct.ini before upgrading and eidit the new direct.ini to restore any custom settings.

Whenever I see comments saying a user is considering giving up, I'm usually tempted to let them go.

But the rest of us you've got in a tight grip?

ever since upgrading to 94.8 i've been getting strange behavior on my MVP osd.
first time you pause,it looks normal...second time it shows the semi-transparent black screen as if transparency isn't on, for a frame, then goes to transpparent like normal..i tried different skins and different dongles,no change...
everything else works fine,upgrade went as usual..
mvp seems a touch faster with this release for me as well so not speed issue don't think...
any ideas? it's very distracting...
