HDHomeRun instructions updated.

lol. I copied and pasted and even saw your post a couple down from it where you said that. I fixed it above too just in case.

Just to let everyone know, as of the 20081124beta1 HDHR software, you should be able to select "GBPVR" and not need to change any registry values to enable PID filtering.

I haven't tested it yet but I'm coming up on 48 hours without sleep so I will have to do it tomorrow.

Just upgraded....and I am seeing the values set to:

BDAPIDFilter = Enabled
ChannelMapping - AutoUSCableMap

I haven't updated my prod box yet....need to know if this AutoUSCableMap setting is correct....or if it won't work....or what.....thanks.

[whurlston]

It should. That's a new value to me but it probably just tells it to lock to any type of signal (qam64/qam256/atsc). I didn't get a chance to test it yet though.

I enabled the registry setting you mentioned and did a scan.

attached is the log folder.

perhaps I should consider removing and reinstalling gbpvr entirely and see if that helps.

[whurlston]

aapocketz, the scan shows that it's locking onto a signal but the signal quality is pretty low on most locks. If you have any splitters attached to the line, try removing them.

I tested the latest beta drivers and everything works. Just set the application to "GBPVR". I haven't found a very compelling reason to use the new dynamic tuner feature with GBPVR yet but it does not hurt anything if it is enabled. We may be able to utilize it in some way to have a bda.ini entry in the master file so we don't need to keep adding the entries though. There are some code changes that would have to be made on sub's end though. I'll let him get caught up first on more pressing issues once he gets home though.

For some reason I am only getting encrypted channels.. through GB-PVR. In the HDHR app i get 20 or so channels and can view them in VLC..

The video is in VLC with the HDHR setup util... I have yet to get GB-PVR to be able to view channels

[SickBoy]

I have one of my HDHR tuners set up semi-successfully - but:

-no sound
- tuning a channel only works the first time. If I try to tune another channel, it tells me the signal is not strong enough - and get the same error message if I try to tune back to that channel.


logs zip attached. any help? it's a bit of a bugger.

UPDATE: got sound working, but video/sound playback is pretty choppy on 720p and higher quality signals. It's not choppy when I preview the channel using the HDHR utilities, and Windows Media player - is there something I can do to get smoother video from live TV?

This aspect of your problem is most likely caused by the decoders you're using. Try some other decoders as a first step.
