Won't change channel prior to recording

[gossman]

I setup GB-PVR, here is my setup:
- Hauppauge 150
- DirecTV STB (older Sony-B55)
- Pentium 3.2 GHZ
- 1 GB mem
- 80 MB+ HD
- 120 MB+ HD

In addition, I also have a MVP in a different room with it enabled to use the GB-PVR service rather than the Hauppauge one.

I have the ability to use either the IR blaster or the direcTV serial control setup. But for now I am concentrating on the IR blaster because I had problems getting the DirecTV control and MVP to work (I could not change channels).

So, I have everything working, I can "surf", i.e. change channels manually, etc. But if I setup a show to record - I get a recording of whatever channel the STB was on, not the new one.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using the DirecTV serial control setup and it works so sweet. It changes channels without any problems. Keep working on that one because it changes channels instantly. If you have the serial cable, the directv control + dtvcl (command line) you should be all set. Place a shortcut of Directv control in the start up folder. It needs to be loaded in memory for it to work.

Yep - got it working. Now if I can only figure out how to get my Samba (Linux files) mp3's to show up on the MVP.

What's wrong with that? Just place all your mp3's on a single folder and then access them using the Music Library plugin.
