Error: Unspecified Error !!!

[Jaster]

Hi there,

I recently bought an AVerTV DVB-T 771. Contrary to some reviews that I have read on the 'net the hardware of this card is actually pretty good. I managed to install the card and software in under 10 minutes and it detected every available UK digital station, even with a signal strength of under 60% from my poor ariel.

However, the software that came with the card is not so good. Although it allows you to watch and record tv at reasonable quality it lacks any other features and only has a very basic scheduler which doesn't work anyway!

Whilst browsing the 'net for third party software i came across the GB-PVR site .

GB-PVR is EXACTLY what i was looking for (for my new media/entertainment box). After reading through the site I realised that my card was not tested or officially supported but after a bit of perseverance i managed to get it reconized through the software renderer plugin.

I now have the problem that everytime I click on the LiveTV button I get the error message: :eek: ERROR: UNSPECIFIED ERROR

Please could someone tell me what this means and/or tell me if there is a better way of getting AVerTV cards to work with GB-PVR. Also I am a complete noobie when it comes to TV cards but from what I have read I think that the AVerTV DVB-T 771 is a DVB-T card with WDM drivers?? Is this correct or not :confused:

Thx in advance:

Sorry, the software recorder plugin is not a core part of GB-PVR, and not supported by myself. The author of this plugin may be able to help you if you post in the software recorder thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=2753


I take this card is a combined analog/dvb-t card? If you get the software recorder plugin working, it will only be able to use the analog side of this device.

If your AVerTV DVB-T 771 device comes with BDA drivers, then you'll mostly be able to get the digital side of things working in GB-PVR by adding a section to the bda.ini file. If it doesnt have BDA drivers, then this device will not work with GB-PVR.
