The reason I ask is because I have a PVR-150MCE (internal) and a Lifeview TVWalker Mini (USB2.0).
When I run GBPVR with BOTH devices installed (and using the Lifeview device to record - I checked the tray status), GBPVR invariably crashes (on the PC or MVP, it doesn't matter), particularly when it is "recording" LiveTV on the USB device.
If I remove the Lifeview device and run ONLY the PVR150, the GBPVR setup is stable as a rock. I have tried multiple combinations of Codecs and Muxes with the Lifeview device installed, as I thought "this must be Codec related". (The Lifeview device works OK through its native TVR, when that alone is used).
It's not that it doesn't work at all, it works for a little while, then (normally after trying to change channels), just gets "stuck" (freezes) on teh TV Window or MVP, although the green icon just goes on showing "recording"....
Before I spring for a 2nd PVR-150 card (to keep my wife happy, she is tiring of my nocturnal attempts to get it to work) is it likely that the USB2 device is simply asking too much of my system?
