You can download 2.2.6 from http://www.gbpvr.com/NPVRSetup_2_2_6.exe.
This is a relatively small release, but there is a few things I wanted to get into the hands of users now.
If you're new to NextPVR, see the list of pre-requisite software at: http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...requisites (directx runtime, visual c++ runtime etc). If you're upgrading from an earlier build, you need to make sure you stop the NPVR software before installing.
Please post any support issues in the support forum.

From the change log:
Quote:- added support for 'copy-freely' cablecard channels with Hauppauge DCR-2650 and HDHomeRun Prime. (Need to have the SD software from http://www.silicondust.com/support/hdhomerun/downloads/ installed).
- improved handling when switching to channels that were either encrypted or off-air.
- added a new method for external apps to easily watch live tv streams from NextPVR. For example, on a client machine with VLC, open a network connection to http://<server>:8866/live?channel=2 to watch channel 2.
- fixed a problem with multiple Colossus device in the one machine
- fixed an incorrect on screen message shown when auto commercial skipping is toggled off then back on.
- added ability for skins to draw lines using skin statements like <Line location1="0,0" location2="100,50" color="Blue" width="5"/>
- fixed a bug where recordings moved to another device at recording time could trying using the old device's tuning info (which can be wrong when devices have the same channel via different inputs, or different device types.
- fixed a bug where NScriptHelper.exe wasnt working on 64bit machines.
- fixed a crash that was happening for some users when watching live tv with a Colossus device

- added a popup for selecting which subtitle stream to view
- added a class that plugins can use for looking up key mappings from a custom keymapping.xml
- fixed a problem that could cause digital data channels to appear as MPEG2 on QAM
- added support for madVR video renderer. This video render seems very flakey to me (for example, switching between window and fullscreen mode), but I've added support it for those that want to experiment with it.
- improved support for 3rd party IRecorder plugins.
- added GenericImportChannelsForm for IRecorder plugins that want to use it
- greatly improved the time required to save new channels when importing a large number of channels from xmltv or schedules direct.
- improved the auto-merge feature.
- added option to enable/disable the default handling for MCE remotes.
- added logging around recording importation to help diagnose problems.
- fixed problem that could cause high CPU usage when viewing the menu screens when configured to use TV Viewer mode, or when Direct3D was not available.
- watched indicator now only set if you've made it at least 60 seconds into the recording.
- added ability to delete recordings with the 'record' key (Ctrl-K) in Recordings screen.
- better support for H.264 aspect ratio detection
- added support for "CutAway" element in the horizontal main menu
- speed improvements to the time it required to save the channels when you click 'ok' in the 'import channels' screen for HDPVR/Colossus/Analog devices.
- when scrolling through now/next channel info with the up/down keys in live tv, you can press the blue key (Alt-B) to see show details.
