This worked for me but you can take your chances at your own risk.
You should not edit the GB-PVR database yourself. Isn't that right sub
If you must you should back it up first. I find it easiest to make a copy the entire gbpvr program directory.
I have not yet updated to the SQLite database and am still using the Access one (gbpvr.mdb). There are admin tools for SQLite (as suggested in this post http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=19464) but I haven't tried it. You can open the Access database in Microsoft Access (2000 or greater I believe).
Here's how I was able to get my Compro VideoMate T200a DVB-T card working in GB-PVR when automatic tuning does not work.
This was/is a last resort and you should search the forum for other tips before doing this.
In the case of Compro VideoMate Txxx cards:
* Make sure that you are using driver version 1.3.1.24. Later drivers have problems and may not work. (As of October 2006.)
1) Add the Compro card in GBPVR configuration as a recording device. Set up the EPG and update it, etc. Do everything but map the channels. Save and close it.
2) Close GBPVR and stop the GBPVRRecordingService.
3) Install the ComproTV software and tune all the channels there.
4) Open the ComproTV "Options" screen. Right-Click the channel you want to add to GBPVR and select Edit.
5) Open the database. Go to the "CHANNEL" table and note the "oid" of the channel.
6) Open the "SOURCE_CHANNEL_MAPPING" table and find that "oid" in the "channel_oid" field.
7) In the same rowset enter the following into the "tuning_request" field:
T:C<xx>,<Channel Frequency>,0,0,<Bandwidth>~P:<Service ID>~V:<Video PID>~A:<Audio PID>~N:<Station Name>
Replace <xx> with a unique number value for each channel, ie. C01, C02, etc.
Replace the rest with the values from the Compro channel settings.
...and that's about it.
Just repeat steps 4 - 7 for each channel you want and then close the database and ComproTV before restarting the GBPVRRecoringService.
Good Luck!!
