Great tool. I'm surprised at how much better it runs then commercial software I tried.
One feature request: In the Search Guide, when you select a letter and hit right it doesn't update the letter (so if I am looking at "A" and then go to "C" I won't get the shows starting with "C" unless I hit enter). A similar thing happens when looking at different shows. I use a hauppage remote so it can be confusing.
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to request a feature for the weather plug in but it would really be nice to be able to see degrees C instead of degrees F.
The images on the images section of the website shows scanning for FM stations but when I go into radio, I don't have such an option (?)
A last feature request -- and a minor one -- is context sensitive help on the control app. There are a lot of options there and searching forums etc. makes it harder to use -- but very powerful.
The tip I read about how to put your sound card out to your hauppage line-in to listen to music/radio on the tv on the forums would be a good addition to the wiki as I'm sure there are people like me who want to do everything through the TV. In fact, a way to run the app without having a window appear onscreen (when one person is using GB-PVR and another is using the computer) would be neat too.
I don't want to come across like I'm blasting the product, I think it's great -- just wanted to share the above ideas/requests. -- Thanks
Other Sundry Items:
One item I have not been able to get working is closed captioning. When outputting live tv or played-back tv there doesn't seem to be closed captioning streams (when I tell my tv to decode them) on programs I know have closed captioning. I don't think this is a GB-PVR thing -- it's most likely a Hauppage Win-TV 350 thing but I was wondering if anybody's seen it.
Does anybody know of a plug-in to display and/or re-map the hauppage remotes. I think the GB-PVR defaults are quite good but I don't want to miss any features/mappings and it would be nice to be able to add shortcuts, etc.
