i just bought this msi 550pro and should be here in a few days. Do all I need to do is download this software afterinstalling the drivers from the card and thats it all will work or will I need to install other programs or plugins to get the software and tv card to work. does this software also support the remote functions using winxp pro service pack 2
thanks Evan

To use GB-PVR you need to have .net 1.1 installed, and an MPEG2 decoder.
The 550 Pro is supported, as well as the remote - except for a few buttons which dont match features offered by GBPVR.

thank you for the reply,
could you tell me where I can download a mpeg decoder, I saw in another thread someone mentioned k-lite would this software work? thanks Evan

MPEG decoders commonly come with dvd apps like power dvd etc.
Some codec links in this thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=13005

I just bought the MSI 550Pro as well.
I am having a lot trouble getting the remote to operate GB-PVR the way I would like. The remote simply does not have button presses for things like 'escape', 'ctrl-left','home',etc. This is a problem especially for plug-ins because there is no xml keymapping (ie:video-archive plugin). I also have a harmony 520 remote which emulates the MSI remote but unfortunately it does not solve the problem I just described.

Did you set your remote type to 'MCE Remote' in the config app? If so, most keys should work.

If you have the same remote as most 500 pro's come with you need to set it as 'MCE Remote' on the channels tab on the config app. All buttons should work except for some of the buttons at the top.

Would I need a separate monitor to use the Windows desktop with the ATY 550 Pro?
