Any Way To Watch Live Tv with GB-PVR?

That tuner does not have the necessary hardware encoder needed for GBPVR.

Most tuners don't have a hardware encoder, I don't know of any that do, but that doesn't stop them from working with other programs!

All these have a hardware encoder: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardw...reCardList

Working with non-hardware encoder tuner cards require a lot more work from the guy who develops GB-PVR, so these cards are not supported. Sorry.

I found the link to GB-PVR in an article about Free TV PVR and TV Recording/Capture Software but I guess the author never really tried them because no of them work except Dscaler and some like GB_PVR don't even have a way to select a TV tuner, which is weird.

The website you linked outlines GB-PVR's requirements: "Analog capture devices must have an onboard hardware MPEG2 encoder. Digital ASTC or DVB devices must have BDA compliant drivers. The software requires the Microsoft .NET runtime. "

Yep, that's pretty much it. I decided it wasnt worth the effort.

Simple viewing of live tv on these types of card wouldnt have been too much work, but recording, and watching those recordings while recording in progress, and time shift live tv, were all going to be a big hassle and require too many varied third party components. There is plenty of other software that owners of those cards can use instead...
