Hi
Thanks to this forum, I just built my own PVR for the first time First, I bought a Hauppauge 1600 capture card on my PC and installed GB-PVR. My signal source is Dish Network and e'thing worked great, I was able to record shows and play them back.
Next, I wanted to get the playback of the video on my 42" inch Panasonic Plasma TV. My default video card (AGP 2x/4x) on my PC did not have any S-Video output (only VGA), I went and bought a Video-card w/ S-Video

I connected my S-Video cable to the TV and do get the Display on my TV. But have a few problems with GB-PVR:
1) When I watch any Recordings I dont have the ability to forward/reverse the recording. The only difference I have in the GB-PVR config before and after the installation of the ATI video card was the selection of the Video renderer in the "Playback" Tab. The Video renderer before the Video card install was VMR9, after I installed the Video card I got a message to select a different Video renderer. Either VMR7 or Overlay Manager seem to give me the display but with eitehr i have no way to forward or reverse recorded programs. What am I doing wrong?
2) How do I get the Video as full-screen on my TV, I see the Windows task bar at the bottom, I will play with Display settings and figure this out. The previous problem is the one I would like help on first.
Thanks in advance.
