Using GBPVR without a Tuner?

[Picker]

Hi.

I want to build a HTPC that acts as a PVR. Currently, I have a video card (GeForce4 4200 VIVO) that has S-Video In capabilities, but no tuner.

I am using an external Satellite STB to do the tuning. Therefore, I shouldn't need a tuner card. I should be able to simply pipe in the output of my STB into the Video In of my card. (I have a 3.4G P4, so MPEG compression should not be a problem...)

I'll be using a USB-IR transeiver along with Grider to control the STB.

Can I use GBPVR to do the PVR recording for a setup like this? How would I configure it to use record from the Video In port of a non-tuner video card?

Thanks!

Regardless of whether you have a tuner, GB-PVR only works with capture devices which have a built in *hardware MPEG2 encoder*. Sorry, it wont be able to use the input capabilities of your GeForce4 VIVO. You'd need a card like the Hauppauge PVR150 etc.
