Hi,
As I just said, Will GBPVR work with Freecom USB DVB-T stick? I can tell you the numbers on the stick if you can tell from that. Also, will GBPVR work with Windows Vista? GBPVR looks very good, and I want to use it!

A quick search of the forum suggests that it will work with the freecom thingie.
Certainly there are Vista users on here (but I'm not one). be sure to check the first post on this thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=28626 and keep an eye on the survival guide thread that is mentioned. have fun.

The freecom seems to work with GBPVR and GBPVR seems to work with Vista, but I don't know if anyone has that full combination  . There's no reason it shouldn't work. If you have problems, there are numrous folk on here and the developer who will give fast and acurate advice to solve problems.

And, sorry, I have another question.
Is there any fix for Windows Vista Media Centre yet? It can't tune to BBC ONE, TWO, and some other channels, but on another program, it does work, (just switch programs, and it works!).

The following worked for me on a fresh XP SP2 installation. Some backtracking so may be slight variations and I don't know if all of this is strictly necessary.
Main references for working this out:
Install .NET v1.1 Install .NET 2.0 Install from KLite codecs [INDENT] Would be OK if you have other MPEG-2 codec e.g. Cyberlink PowerDVD Download from http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/ Just install the MPEG-2 codec Larger selection from KLite caused WMP11 to crash playing DVR-MS files YMMV on using more from KLite [/INDENT] Copy AutoDVRConvert v1.3 to suitable place and run the registration batch file [INDENT] From http://www.heimiko.com/ Not sure if this is necessary [/INDENT] Install VCRedist_x86.zip [INDENT] Required by GBPVR Download from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...laylang=en [/INDENT] Install .NET2 hotfix KB923028 [INDENT] http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923028 May not be required. [/INDENT] Install the Freecom BDA drivers [INDENT] Download from http://www.freecom.com/ecDrivers.asp [INDENT] Family DVB-T, Group DVB-T Stick, OS XP [/INDENT] Plug in device In Add Hardware, search for drivers in the directory of extracted files Continue when installing unsigned drivers Runs through twice [/INDENT] Install GB-PVR, these notes from v1.0.16 [INDENT] http://www.gbpvr.com/ [/INDENT] After installation, run the GB-PVR Config program Go to Capture Sources tab and Add a new source Select Recording Source as BDA Recording Plug-In Select EPG Source as DVB EPG Broadcast Click Settings for the Recording Source Check the box to only show detected devices If no devices are listed, the name of the device in BDA.INI may be wrong [INDENT] Edit BDA.INI in the GBPVR install directory Locate the Freecom type 3 driver section (for DV3, see side of actual USB stick) Change the FILTER_TUNER name to have a fullstop on the end [INDENT] FILTER_TUNER=USB Digital-TV Receiver. [/INDENT] If this still doesn't work use GraphEdit to find the correct name [INDENT] Select Graph | Insert Filters Locate the BDA Source Filters Check the exact name shown one level down in the hierarchy [/INDENT] Save BDA.INI, exit, restart Config, repeat the steps above [/INDENT]Select the listed Freecom driver as the device type Select the Country and the Region/Transmitter appropriate [INDENT] Leave All Region if needing to do a full scan Note, this can be very slow but may be best way to locate the transmitter [/INDENT] Save the BDA Plugin Settings Click Map Digital Channels to EPG Channels Click Rescan and start selecting channels Follow the instructions and other info about using GBPVR
