Thanks to GBPVR, after trying out SageTV, WinTV and others, I settled down to this one because this one delivers with no fuss ( and free as of now ).
I have PVR 350, a good machine, connected to TV ( no monitor ). so far I am using remote from Hauppauge ( I will end buying Tira or USBUIRT ). Have the following questions, sub/everyone - please answer each of them ( thanks for the patience )
1. medium quality - nothing else : even if I set any other type, it always goes back.
2. how do I enter the channel directly : I can incr/decr channels, but if I type the numbers ( for ex: 472 channel on dish ), it doesn't respond to the number pad.
3. net radio - how to add more stations - there are some radio stations that are not listed here. Can I add them manuallly ?
4. How to schedule the tasks inside PVR ? Apart from Recording of programs, I want to schedule shutdown/music play and etc. Can I do it ? If not, can I do it via Girder ?
5. epg download - takes a long time. If it is cancelled in the middle, it should retain the stuff downloaded so far.
6. can we record live tv while playing back some other archive video ? Also, can I pause live tv while watching something else ?
7. Love the plugins, installed all of them. But then the main screen showed all of them in one column,exceeding the screen limit. Would be ideal if we can categorize them or show in multiple columns.
thanks in advance
