This release wasnt quite ready for the public and several things are still very shakey, but given the bug with the TV Guide - you're welcome to try it if you like. Consider yourself warned. [Image: biggrin.gif]

You can download it from http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR0908.msi

From the change.log:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
2005-02-01 v0.90
- Changed version number to reflect the progress that has been made since project started
- Corrected some issues that could cause freezing during channel changes.
- Some speed improvements when changing channels.
- Some speed improvements when loading the recordings screen and the tv guide.
- Implemented initial DVB support for devices with BDA drivers. Both DVB-S and DVB-T should work. FTA transmission only at this stage. Most of my testing has been done on a Hauppauge Nova-S running the TechnoTrend BDA drivers, but TwinHan DVB-T and the Nova-T (newer 90002 model) are known to work. DVB_T has been tested in Sweden, the UK and Australia. Other card types should work and can be added easily to the bda.ini file. A wider list of cards will be added as I perform more testing. You need to have either the Cyberlink or InterVideo Multiplexer filter installed on your machine for this to work.
- Fixed a bug where GO7007SB devices were ignoring bitrates. This was resulting in large video files. Its now producing nice small divx files for these devices.
- Fixed a bug with manual reoccurring recordings causing conflicts.
- Added Live Preview mode for those using software rendering (VMR7/VMR9/Overlay). This means no recording MPEG files to disk, and much faster channel changes - typically less than a second. I'm sure this will be popular for those that like to "channel surf".
- Added support for Teletext when in Live Preview mode with VMR. Enable in config app, then when viewing live tv, press the FUNC button (Ctrl-O) to start.
- Added support for Hauppauge PVR150 IR Blaster. When selected, this will use the IR profile selected in the Hauppauge BlastCfg program.
- Added a button to correct the Hauppauge remote settings contained in irremote.ini. This is useful if upi have to reinstall any Hauppauge software, which overwrites the GB-PVR settings.
- Fixed a few bugs in software renderers (VMR7/VMR9/Overlay).This also fixed a bug that could cause lockups when using FFDShow.
- Added support for widescreen or high resolution skins.
- Now remembers last channel viewed, and will use it next time you start GB-PVR.
- Now remembers last volume level, and will use it next time you start GB-PVR.
- Added tv guide that can be viewed over live tv. You can access it by pressing either the 'guide' button on the new 45 button Hauppauge remote, or the 'Go' button on the older remote. Developers can replace this if they want, using the VideoPopupTask setting in the config.xml file.
- Updated web interface. Now includes search features (thanks KingArgyle!).
- Added a 'Best Colours' option to the XCard settings. This will perform a very accurate conversion to 256 colors for the XCard, with optomized palette for each screen. This work very well, but is quite a bit slower so you'll only want to use it if you have a fast PC.
- Added a 'fully transparent OSD' option for the MVP which stop the screen from dimming when the OSD is visible. Its a little bit slower when enabled, so I'll leave it as option whether you use it or not. This also relies on the newer version of dongle.bin which is now included with GB-PVR.  
- TV/Video/Music/Pictures/Guide/Radio buttons now functional on new 45 key Hauppauge remote.  
- FM Radio now works correctly for the PVR150MCE and PVR500MCE.
- USB-UIRT remote control support added.[/QUOTE]

If you are using skin other than those that ship with GB-PVR (blue, flat blue, red sky), then I suggest you switch to the Blue skin until the skin author has a chance to update it.

Authors: changes to the skins are as follows:

tv guide\skin.xml (added guideWidth setting to support widescreen skins) Also added the live-skin.xml file.

&lt;SpecialElement name=&quot;Guide&quot; loc=&quot;50,80&quot; visibleChannels=&quot;7&quot; guideWidth=&quot;540&quot; channelRowHeight=&quot;40&quot; showNavigation=&quot;false&quot; borderWidth=&quot;2&quot; rounded=&quot;false&quot; showChannelIcons=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;


recordings\skin.xml (added titleWidth and subTitleWidth  to Recordings element)
   
&lt;SpecialElement name=&quot;Recordings&quot; loc=&quot;165,45&quot; size=&quot;490,45&quot; visibleRecordings=&quot;7&quot; titleWidth=&quot;200&quot; subTitleWidth=&quot;300&quot; spacing=&quot;2&quot;/&gt;

As per usual, you'll also need to reconfigure any plugins you use, as these will most likely have lost their settings during the upgrade.

Great job! Works great!

Wow, that's a lot of great new features. You sure have been keeping busy, Sub. Downloading now.

Quick question, I don't suppose there's a list of known bugs? Just so that people won't be posting to the forums about problems that you're already aware about; save everyone some time.

Great! I'm just new to GBPVR and very confident in its potential when I see the hard work that you put into it!

Will try it this evening.

One question (maybe wrong place...): Will I loose my channels after upgrading?

Obviously I can't answer for sure about this upgrade, but for the previous upgrades you didn't have to save anything, just reconfigure any plugins you have installed.
