First I want to thank the developers of GBPVR for a great product. I am a recent re-convert to GBPVR, I tried it about a month ago and had various problems that had me give Media Portal a try. Although I prefer Media Portal's UI over GBPVR the video quality issues and other headaches had me switch back to GBPVR. I have to say that the live tv quality on GBPVR is miles better than what I had on Media Portal(I have a PVR-150 and HVR-1600). And the HDTV portion of Media Portal is so horrendously buggy(change the HD channels change, watch it crash hard).
Anyway, a few questions, comments:
1) Is there a skin or a way to display the time you are at in the current program when the info for the current show comes up at the bottom of the screen? Media Portal, Beyond TV all have the bar graph that shows you the length of the current program and then the bar is filled in to the position you are at in the current program along with the program info(whenever you change channels). Note I am talking about live tv, not recorded. I know that you can bring up the guide in GBPVR and the small triangle shows your position in the current program but I would like to have the bar graph always come up showing my current position when I am changing channels.
2) Awhile back I asked if there was a setting to configure the amount of time the info on the current program stays visible. At the time sub said no but that was thinking about adding that feature. Any luck in that department?
Again, great product, the support and community is much better over here than at Media Portal. And much, much more stable product. Thanks again.
