Most difficult part of your GB-PVR system?

And maybe a re-scanner to spot transponder/PID changes.

I know its a bit off topic -- but I would love one of these as well

About once a month [or so] I lose a channel because the transponder or PID has changed on the Astra 2 Cluster.

I am the same, SKY have a nasty tendancy to change its channels numbers, which buggers GBPVR up as my PVR150 changes the channel on the STB.

For just that reason I keep my eye on this http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/b-...9-a-8.html

DVB-T scanning is a real problem for me. On a fresh install of XP SP3 with a Nova T 500 I can get a scan, but as soon as I install Purevideo or ffdshow all my scans crash.

I want to add: trying to read the cable company's mind when they are going to refrequency the channels, RIGHT BEFORE I STARTED A RECORDING THAT MY WIFE WANTED! GRRRR

Let me guess. Could it be... Comcast??

No, just as bad, Time Warner. I got a zero byte file and thought I had messed up a patch for zero byte recordings. I was just about to reload a lot of stuff and luckily checked the tuner and found that they had moved the channels. This stuff is tough enough without adding their variables.

Codecs discussion sucks the most. So many choices and preferences. Sometimes I wonder if Henry Ford's idea is best "You can have any color as long as it's black".

I have always found that in areas where I have specific desires (like purchasing computer hardware) I want as many choices as possible so I get exactly what I want.

In areas that I don't care that much about (such as colors to paint a room) I prefer to have just a few choices and the last thing I want to do is choose between 100 variations on a color shade.

1. Comcast QAM channel frequency changes (once every 2-3 wks)
2. mc2xml lineup changes (every month)

Zero problems with GBPVR. For me, anyway, a flawless program.
