GB-PVR 1.2.9
Publisher's Description:
GB-PVR is a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) allowing you to schedule TV recordings, view and pause live TV. In addition to this PVR functionality, it also acts as a media center allowing you to watch movies, listen to music, view pictures and listen to FM radio. It also supports specialist hardware decoders including Sigma Designs XCard, Hauppauge PVR350 and Hauppauge MediaMVP. Supports multiple tuners, allowing you to record multiple channels at one time.
Latest Changes:
- Added improvements to H.264 support
- Added Overlay renderer support to PVRX2
- Disabled video inset when using EVR or Overlay video renderer
- Updated the included EWA to build 74
- Added support for DVB channels using AAC or AAC LATM audio like those in NZ, Norway, and a few more European destinations in the near future etc. You need a compatible AAC LATM audio decoder installed, like the free MONOGRAM AAC decoder. Google for it
- Added option to do BDA recordings "out of process", which works around the multidec limitation of one instance per process, allowing for multiple multidec recordings to occur at the same time
- Added support for Hauppauge HD-PVR

- Added some logic to automatically detect BDA filter pin names rather than relying on definitions in bda.ini
- Fixed a bug that could cause channels with a dash in their name to have problems pulling in listings from DVB EPG source

- In the same way '999' can be used to toggle comskip during file playback, '998' can now be used to delete the comskip file for the currently playing video. This is useful if comskip got it wrong and you dont want to use the comskip info for future attem

tc17...do you not understand what this is maybe? It is PVR software, doing essentially what your DVR box does, your DVR box DOWNLOADS updated channel listings just as this does....it doesnt auto scan your channels. This is actually amazing software, and anyone having trouble using it has not followed the instructions...its dirt simple even without following the instructions. WAY faster than all of the other PVR software I have tried.
You should have to take an IQ test before you are allowed to review on this site.

I have been using this now for 3+ Years as my FREE TIVO and not a complaint.
Using it with a Hauppage WinTV-PVR-150 and it's Flawless.
If you are one having issues, then I would suggest upgrading your Drivers or you simply do not have a card that can support this product.

This program looks nice, and something I wanted to work. But like others, I could never get it to work either. For example this is the first tv tuner software I have ever come across that isn't capable of auto scanning for tv channels. That is just lame. You have to download the list from some tv guide type websites.
And my tv card IS on their list.

I've been using GB-PVR for nearly two years now. Its a great app with great support. I'd rate it better than most commercial apps.
I'm not surprised the reviewers below failed to get their PCTV100 or WinTV Go-FM cards to work with GB-PVR. Neither of these cards are on supported capture card list. You need a decent card with hardware encoder like Hauppauge PVR150 etc or one of the ATSC or DVB cards.

It looks nice on presentation, but I couldn't get it to work. I mucked with it for 3 days and nothing. I have a Pinnacle PCTV100. I have other applications that work perfectly with my adapter, BUT...
I even tried to add my adapter manually and didn't work. I would like to use it, but seems to have a tight compatibility list..
