First, let me admit that my limited knowledge of all things digital means that I have no business being here. That said, I am a long time user of GBPVR/PVRX2 that has worked great for me for over 10 years. When it was replaced with NEXTPVR I opted to stay with it because 1) I had four wired Media MVPs connected to my PC giving me "whole house DVRs", 2) I'm not that picky about the picture quality rendered by the MVPs, and 3) I enjoyed using Comskip. I should state at this point that I AM NOT looking for GBPVR support.
Well, my PC recently did an update to Windows 10 after which the video on the MVPs played in slow motion. I tried everything I could think of to fix it, but nothing worked. I also tried System restore and undoing the update to no avail. So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling GBPVR, thinking perhaps the dongle was corrupted. Now GBPVR won't even work on my PC. The TV Guide won't work, and changes I make to directories in Config don't show up in GBPVR. I'm assuming that GBPVR, God rest her soul, is no longer compatible with Windows 10.
The purpose of this post is to elicit suggestions on what hardware I need to get into NEXTPVR. I currently have Spectrum cable and have a dual tuner Hauppauge HVR-2250 (no set-top box) wired to four Media MVPs.
Questions:
1. Will the HVR-2250 work with NEXTPVR? If not, what is a good comparable replacement?
2. Since my house is already wired for media servers, what is a good, preferably inexpensive since I'll need four, replacement for the MediaMVPs.
Thanks in advance.
