There was a test of GB-PVR in a PC magazine (Finnish one) a while ago. The test also had 3 other Windows and 2 other Linux "Media Center" apps.
Anyway, the test results said that there were problems with GB-PVR.
They had 2 different tv cards(Nebula DigiTV pci and Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1300) and had to change 5 different files and modify Windows' registry. And it wasn't as good as the other "Media Center" apps. Wonder why they had to do that? I have GB-PVR on two different computers, other one's laptop with DVB-T Usb stick. Only change I had to do was with the stick, and at first I had problems finding the filters' names. (Why didn't I read the Wiki first =)) So I had to change only one file, then it worked fine. I'd think they are better with computers than I am, right?. But they have also used an older version, 0.97.07, so it was probably worse than this version. What are your opinions about this?
