Channel surfing while watching TV

[karthiktn]

Is there a way to display whats coming up next on a particular channel without having to go back to the "TV guide" prompt? I see that I can use the up/down nav buttons to find out whats coming up on other channels, but the left/right buttons only seem to adjust volume. Is there any way I can configure this in my irremote.ini? BTW I am using a HVR-1600 with a Hauppauge 45 button remote.

Hit F2 (maybe F1 -- not home at the moment) while viewing TV for a mini guide

It is F1 to get the mini-guide up while watching live tv. You can also hit the HOME button and it will bring you to the menu and display a window with your live/recorded show.

Thanks guys -- I saw that I got the behavior I needed when using GBPVR.EXE with the mini guide. PVRX2.EXE's mini guide doesnt let you move back and forth in time, it only lets you move between channels. Any ideas on how to get over this?

Slightly different topic, but GBPVR.EXE doesnt fit my TV screen very well whereas PVX2.EXE adjusts itself very well.

Sorry, going to the TV Guide screen is your only option at this stage in PVRX2.

Sorry, PVRX2.exe is much better at filling the screen that the old GBPVR.exe interface. There was some bug in GBPVR.exe where under some circumstances it does fill the entire screen. You could try different desktop resolutions to see if it behaved differently, otherwise you'll need to use PVRX2.exe.
