I found GBPVR by searching for a PVR front end. I tried MediaPortal, I liked MediaPortal but it just didn't run well on my lower spec'ed machine. Not to mention the recording function didn't run as a service. Recording's were missed. I also couldn't stand the DVR-MS recording format. After searching for other options I saw a post in MediaPortal about GBPVR. I started digging, found BYOPVR, and finally switched to GBPVR. I never even fired up MediaPortal again. Its not a bad PVR, it just didn't suite my needs.

Long Live GBPVR.

I did a search on Google for PVR front-ends and compared features of the ones I found. I also spent a lot of time on BYOPVR reading reviews and trying to decide on the hardware. I tried to set up Myth, but I'm not terribly *nix literate. I went back to what I'm certified in (Windoze) and found that GBPVR offered exactly what I was looking for. The support, constant development of plugins, frequent updates and ability to tweak the UI skins have made it a joy to run.

i was looking for a better program than what came with my hauppage 150 and thru a google search i found the wonderful program

A Google search found BYOPVR and from there I found GBPVR. GBPVR is the first and only pvr software I have tried. The forum is great and I have been able to get almost all the info I have needed by reading and if I couldn't find it a post would get the answer very quickly. Everybody involved in this project deserves a big thank you for all your time and effort.

Another 'Voice from above'. Some sort of divine intervention anyway.

I heard about it on eBay, believe it or not. I was toying with the idea of TV capture to see what I could do with it. Hauppauge seemed the most common capture cards in the UK so I was searching eBay to see what I could find - one hit was a Media MVP and the guy selling it said he'd been using it with GB-PVR (even included a URL to the web-site). I bought a PVR350 and an MVP, decided the Hauppauge software was yucky so decided to give GB-PVR a go. A couple of weeks later I built a dedicated GB-PVR server. Almost a year ago now. Thanks sub!

Cheers,

I first got it as a front end to play stuff via MVP. I had an original hauppauge WinTVPVR-PCI card, and I was using the MVP to play back the shows. Then I got GBPVR, then a PVR150, a 160 gig drive, and no turning back.

I also googled my way to byopvr and found gbpvr listed there. I couldn't stand the intervideo software that came with my convertx, and I loved gbpvr.

Thanks sub.

I bought a PVR-350 and wanted some PVR software that worked.
GBPVR was the first thing I downloaded after a Google search. The search ended there!

I recycled an old Dell PIII (in a 19inch wide black case, so it matches the HiFi) and integrated it into the living room tv stuff and now the wife is telling me which upgrades to purchase.... DVB-T, HDD etc...
