Menu on TV

[pech127]

I just upgraded to the latest version today, and all seems to work well with one exception. When I start GBPVR, I get the menu on my PC, but not on my TV. I can watch live tv, watch recordings, but dont seem to have any of the on screen displays. I have a PVR350. Any suggestions to try?

One other PVR350 tv out user also indicated they had problems with this latest version. The hard truth is, PVR350 tv out support was dropped a long time ago now, and hasnt been tested for many release. If you really need use this feature, you're better off just picking an old version that worked for you and sticking with it. Sorry.

Ok, thanks! I wasn't aware that the 350 was dropped. I can go back to my old version that worked. Do you know if the 350 will get picked back up in the future?

Unlikely. Its just not worth the hassle.

- Its inflexible, with no easy way to do stuff like DVD playback
- Its a dead product, with conexant no longer developing the decoder or licensing it for use in new products.
- The drivers are buggy and seem to cause lockups or reboots in about 50% of machines.

Unfortunately, these are all things outside of my control.

very well understood. thanks for your input, it's greatly appreciated! I guess I will start shopping for a new card......

Its still a good capture card, I'm just not recommend it as a tv out device.

[pech127]

Is there one in particular that you recommend? Fewest probs/best driver support, etc....

TV out card, no.
