Hello,
I have posted on here several times seeking help on different things but I have failed in getting GBPVR set up. I am currently using Vista Media Center and it sucks. I recently added Starz and HBO to my cable account and if I am wanting to record a program to watch later I have to pray it doesn't come up with a Blue Screen saying I can't watch the program I recorded.
Here are my specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHZ
1GB of RAM
Windows Vista Home Premium
Nvidia Geforce 8600 GTS
and, of course, my 2 Hauppauge HVR 1600 cards
I also have a Microsoft Remote Model 1039 and this has an IR blaster resembling the one in this picture:

These send signals to two STB's. In Media Center they work fine. When I try to use GBPVR I have several issues. When I go to add my cards I don't see two Hauppauge 1600 present when I put a check in "Only show devices connected to this machine". Instead, I see a 1600 and a 1500. Also I am unsure what board numbers I should assign. I have had little issue getting my EPG to work but I am kind of unsure whether I have it set up correctly to update nightly.
My two biggest issues lie in getting Live TV to show a picture (all I get is a black, staticy screen). Second, I have found it nearly impossible to get the channel changer to work. I originally set it to MCE 2005 IR Blaster but no luck. Searching on the GBPVR and other forums I followed several tutorials for getting HIP or IR Server Suite to work. I found HIP almost impenetrable. Such as when I went into "Edit IR Commands" to get the commands from my STB remote I get constant errors trying to learn an IR command. In IR Server Suite I was able to learn commands but they blast to both STB's! I am unable to make it send to one or the other. I am hoping to soon be able to make this work. Please, if you can, HELP!
Thanks,
Nick
