Post the quest on the forums and I'll help you through it. Also run the filtercheck.exe utility in the gbpvr directory and attach the filtercheck.log.

i have attached both, native logs and filter check logs,thnx

the analog side of the card doesnt have a hardware mpeg encoder so the analog side of the card will not work with gbpvr
if you look on the wiki there is a software encoder plugin that may work (wiki link at top of page)

the digital side of the card should work
when you added the card did you select digital recording plugin
you can only use the digital side of the card

the problem you may have is that your laptop may not have the hardware to playback HD video plus here in New Zealand they chose a difficult format to playback easily at the present time

Your logs show that the ffdshow audio filter is set as your prefered AAC decoder but AC3filter is getting auto inserted to the graph. Run AC3Filter Config, select the "System" tab and set the filter merit to "Prefer other decoder". You may need to download the Monogram AAC decoder and set it as your prefered decoder as well.

For the DVB-T side in NZ you'll need to install the MONOGRAM AAC decoder. Its the only currently fully compatible with out HE-AAC audio.

oh sorry guys, a probelm once again
i get audio video real good quality, but cpu usage is always around 70%
and if i uninstall media portal i dont get sound at all, so what do i do now?? thnx

[stustunz]

when you downloaded the monogram decoder did it come with a file(batch file) named register

[stustunz]

what video decoder are you using does it have a properties tab if tick did you select hardware acceleration
if the cpu has to do the work then it you will get high cpu usage
