Program Reminder & Quality Settings on Record?

[tdave00]

Record Quality
I know you can select the quality recording settings through the web guide, but is there a way to set them in gbpvr directly when you choose to record something?

Program Reminder
Does GBPVR have the option to remind you a program is coming on - like DirecTV where it pops up on the screen? If not this would be a really cool feature.

Also, it would be really cool in the future to incorporate some Home Automation plugin like Meedio has (housebot). Haven't used Meedio but seems like a very useful feature.

I wanted to also say that I am very pleased with GBPVR. I have tried a few others and they were great; really impressed with how quick GBPVR loads and closes. My computer just wouldn't cooperate with them to my liking. I have been putting my HTPC together for over a year. Finally got a pvr-150 a week or so ago from Circuit City (they were on sale for $60 after rebate). I should have bought two. It works very well with my Epia ME6000 to my surprise. I have read many posts ,not just on here, saying that the epia board just wasn't powerful enough. It took some tweaking and a lot of reading, but it is working great. The only thing that doesn't seem to work as it is supposed to is the guide/information overlay when watching tv. Instead of being overlayed over the video the video just goes black. I see the information/guide and hear the sound but no video. I am pretty sure that this is just a limitation of my graphics card/drivers though.

Here is my setup (might help someone else using the same board).

Epia ME6000
256 mb ram
Win2k (all the updates)
pvr-150
Intervideo Decoders for dvd/mpeg playback
Hauppage Intervideo Non CSS Decoders for TV Viewing
Overlay
No Interlace
Uncheck Live TV
Start GBPVR.exe with high priority (seemed to speed it up a bit)
35-50% cpu when watching tv or movies (if anyone has better with the same board please email me or message me with your setup.

I am also seriously considering getting the new pundit (-R I believe). If anyone is using that let me know how you like it. I just don't think my little epia is gonna handle it when I add a few MVP's and try to do divx.

Thanks sub and all the developers. This is a great program.
I will be donating.

When schedule a recording in GB-PVR, you already get the option to set the recording quality.

No, it doesnt have this. Maybe in a future release.

...ouch! I tried one of these, and found it way too slow. There has been a few minor enhancements since then that could have affected speed, but I still think it'd be too slow for me.

If you choose "record" instead of "quick record" you get to select quality, pre and post padding and the type of recording (season, etc).

Yeah, it's sweet. Dish network also has this feature and I got way to used to relying on it. Dish also has an auto-tune feature... so if you'd rather just have it switch channels at a specified time, it'll do that too. Glad to see someone other than me wants this.

Yeah, I relied on it quite alot as well. Very nice feature.
