can record, but can NOT VIEW ANY LIVE TV

[fff]

hi all;

my confiuguration is as follows:

dvr through time warner digital cable: i have set up the capture source as an external tuner only able to view ch3 as all channel changes have to come through the cable box.

everything works fine in the actual program with one MAJOR exception: i can record any program braodcast on the dvr, but when i attempt to view live tv, all i get is a black screen.

however, if i view the actual mpeg file, it plays fine and is just what i expected to be...all this suggests that the capture card receives the signal well.

i have tried most setting configurations in the config utility and i have pretty much read the readme's and how to's posted on the site. Any suggestions?

please email responses to fff@nyc.rr.com.

thanks

charlie

You did not say if you watched it on monitor or TV-out. If it was TV-out I'd say you should check the drivers for the graphic card.

Also, you could try and configure GBPVR to always run in timeshift mode.

actually the problem was solved by going to the settings page and unchecking the live preview function...strange as this may seem.

this is a neat app because it works for me on my 2003 pc even though running media center itself i get the message that there is no tuner card installed.

microsoft products generally suck

if timeshifting works, you would probably find that setting the "use encoder passthrough" in the deinterlacing setting in the Misc tab of the GBPVR would solve your problem.

otherwise you can also try to change from VMR9 to overlay or visa versa.
