Sorry about that, I should have been more clear. It ran fine, then I went back to the TV guide and tried it again and it didn't work. Then I went back to the TV guide again and then it worked for a different channel.

Are you familiar with the lack of rewind issues with PVR150 captures or is it specific to my setup?

The live tv issue looks more like something for sub (ie open a new thread, post logs etc.

The rewind issue might be the PCH certainly there are some issues with FF/RW on certain video file type. The best thing to do is install the myiHome software from Syabas and see how the file works with it. http://support.popcornhour.com/article.aspx?id=1007

If it doesn't work, search out or open a new report on the NMT forums http://www.networkedmediatank.com/index.php

I testing it again tonight and it working correctly so it may have been a temporary glitch.

I agree. I've tested it with SMB and HTTP streaming and both work the same. Captured MPG's FF but don't rewind. Skipping ahead/behind in 30sec increments works fine though so I've been doing that.

I have to say, now that I've taken a closer look at this solution, it's pretty amazing considering how new this product is. Thanks to sub and Martin for the great work.

For the GB-PVR integration, I was wondering what the -m pal and --display options actually do, and the corresponding width and height settings. What exactly do they control and what does it affect? For instance does it affectactual playback on the PCH at all or is that entirely up to the PCH to handle by itself?

If I change width and height - what does it actually affect? Has it any relation to aspect ratio handling on the PCH?

I'd prefer to see new questions at least a little bit on topic to help those coming afterwards find the right answers.

Well, I'd have to say that this thread is already quite OT. It's about PCH pre-ordered...But you are right, I'll take these questions to another thread where it belongs. Sorry.

My credit card was charged yesterday for the PCH so maybe it'll be in the April 28th batch... Smile
