Ok, finally started my migration to a proper HTPC Started with the small step of a TUL 550 Pro into my existing system to replace my Leadtek PVR2000, so I can play with GB-PVR. GB looks great so far (go Kiwi!), with a few quibbles...
First big question - how the heck do I mute this card without muting my whole system? I'd like to be able to do other things with my PC while it records TV, like play music etc, but neither PowerCinema or GB seem to have any way to mute the thing without just muting the whole system. Presumably this is something to do with the audio coming over the PCI bus, but it's a big annoyance. GB-PVR doesn't seem to have mute at all, or am I being thick?!
Also, why the use of "ctrl" modifier on the keyboard shortcuts? One of my big gripes with mediaplayer is Microsoft's insistance on things like ctrl-p to pause instead of simply hitting one key - surprised to find GB is like that too!
Sorry to start with gripes!
