Trouble Getting Stated with Zap2it

[tjb]

So, I finally purchased a Fusion 5 Gold card to begin building my HDPC. I have everything working properly with the DVICO software that came with the system.

Yesterday I started tackling GBPVR, but I'm afraid I am not getting very far. I followed the directions on the wiki for setup; created the recording source for the Fusion 5, and set the EPG source to Zap2it (in US). Then I went to the settings for EPG. I did not have an account setup for zap2it, so I clicked on the link labeled "CLICK HERE to create a free account ..."

At this point I got an error that said "Application not found" (An unhandled exception has occurred in your application ...). So I went to the zap2it website to create my own account, selected the stations I wanted to keep (all digital), and then went back to GBPVR and the zap2it settings dialog box.

I entered my username and password and pressed OK. I then exited the configuration utility and then restarted it. When I tried to Update the EPG, I got an error message stating that "Your EP source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG Source settings and try again."

Has anyone else ever run in to this problem, or have any idea why zap2it is not working from within GBPVR? Any help wqould be greatly appreciated.

At this point I got an error that said "Application not found" (An unhandled exception has occurred in your application ...).

It just asks Windows to show the "http://labs.zap2it.com" web page. Something must be broken with the default browser associations on your setup.

So I went to the zap2it website to create my own account, selected the stations I wanted to keep (all digital), and then went back to GBPVR and the zap2it settings dialog box.

Did you go to http://labs.zap2it.com or http://www.zap2it.com. It needs to be the labs one.

Thanks so much for your help. You were right on both accounts.

Sub,
I am also having trouble with Zap2It.
I get the same error message: "your EPG source does not seem to be configured correctly..."
I went to the labs.zap2it site, and checked my id, password, etc. Active, not expired, etc. These correspond to the values in the GBPVR config.
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem at this time with a FusionHDTV5 RT Gold I am trying to setup into GBPVR (tried 0.96 & 0.97). The card itself works fine in the Fusion and BeyondTV softwares.

Error window:


From the log, GBPVR seem to be able to connect/download the listing but there is a processing error. My logs are attached.

Using SysEmum.exe my card is listed as follow thus I am selecting "Fusion HDTV Gold-T (ATSC)" in the droplist which has the same settings and should work fine IMO:

BDA Source Filters -> FusionHDTV, DBA Tuner
BDA Receiver Component -> FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture

Thank you for your input on how to solve my issue as I would like to add it to my production box along with my 2 Theater 550 chips!

Can you click the 'update epg' button, then zip and attach your config.exe.log?
