Nova-T Recording issues

[NovaTT]

I'm very close to getting my setup work or pulling my hair out.

I think gbpvr is fantastic. It worked really well with my PVR250.

However, I decided to buy a nova-t (connexant version) to get Freeview.

(I can record manually with Hauppauge WinTV2k and the trial of myTheatre okay - but I like gbpvr ).

I've edited the settings get gbpvr to find my channels, and in the match epg to channel window I can see the preview with no problems.

LiveTV doesn't work... but I'm not bothered about that. It's recording.

It will record radio stations without a problem.

Trying to record from television seems to be an issue. The mpeg files it produces stutter at around 5 second intervals.

I've got the latest drivers and software from Hauppauge support site.

I've looked through the forums and people recommend a newer version of MpgMux.ax. The latest I've been able to find is 4.0.0.2122 from the cyberlink power cinema trial.

Is there anyone else who has managed to get it recording?
Can anyone give me some leads on where to go next ?

I am determined to get this going. Cheers

It's still early days for BDA support, but things will improve over time.

I know its not super helpful, but try to find MpgMux.ax v5.0.0.727. This is what I used during development, and recordings work fine.

I had similar issues with the recording, which I've now managed to solve. One of my main requirements is to use GB-PVR on my MediaMVP for live TV, which only seems to be possible with working recording functionality- so I needed to find the problem!

After much experimentation, I found that removing the mpeg codec installed by the Hauppauge Nova-T software seems to fix things. It's the one called "Intervideo NonCSS for Hauppauge", and I de-registered it using a program called "Filmerit". You probably need to re-boot after.

I assume that you can't use WinTV2000 once you've removed the codec though (I haven't tried). For the record, I'm also using v4.0.0.2122 mpgmux from the Power Cinema Demo.

Hope this does the trick for you too; GB-PVR is one of those programs that's so good that it's definitely worth fiddling with a few things to make it work!
