Is MVP revision 2.06 incompatible with the sw for rev 1 D3A?

[borgs5]

Hi,

Just purchased a new MVP. Was hoping I could just disconnect the old one and plug in the new one and that it would happily use the very old GB-PVR v. 0.98.8b and associated dongle that has been working perfectly for over a year now. Unfortunately it gets to the loading GB-PVR application and just hangs.

Can someone just please tell me if the new revision is incompatible with the old dongle.bin and, if so, whether it is actually possible to get a rev 1.0 D3A working alongside a rev 2.06?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Regards,

Steve

98.8 actually included the same dongle that is distributed with 1.0.16, 1.1.47 ,so the dongle version shouldn't be your problem. If I had to guess you have replaced the dongle with one another older dongle that isn't compatible. I did open a thread on http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=27283 that does provide a link to other dongles from Hauppauge that should work for you.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your reply.

Indeed, I now remember that I did actually replace the 98.8 dongle with an earlier version as I was getting disconnects with the version that came with 98.8.

I guess that something major happened in 98.8?

Cheers,

I bit the bullet and installed the new version of GBPVR on the PC. After some networking issues I now have GBPVR working on both MVPs! The dongle seems to be as stable as the old one.

So I can confirm that the two different versions of MVP can coexist.

Cheers,

Steve
