NextPVR is a free Personal Video Recorder (PVR) and Media Centre application for Microsoft Windows. At its heart lies the Electronic Programme Guide from where you can watch (and pause) live TV and schedule your favourite shows for later viewing. Relax with a DVD or play back your music, videos and photos stored on your PC or on other devices across your home network. With support for multiple clients (including thin client devices such as the Popcorn hour) you can distribute your media experience around the home. Away from home you can use the web interface to schedule and stream media using a PC or a suitable mobile device.

  • Latest Changes

    - In the device settings you can now double click a channel to edit it's tuning information. Frequency, SID, service type etc. Should be useful for advanced users wanting to make tweaks when broadcasters move stuff around

    - Digital recording is now done 'out of process' to workaround an issue where digital devices could sometimes lockup when stopping recordings, requiring recording service to be restarted

    - Fixed a problem with deleting recordings from a client PC

    - Fixed an issue that would stop the DirectX UI working on older graphics cards that dont support hardware vertex processing

    - Now able to configure the number seconds that must have been watched before a recording shows the 'watched' indicator. See in config.xml. Previously it was hardcoded to 60 seconds

    - VMR9 Custom and VMR9 FSE video renderer options now also available for DVD playback

    I have been recording with NextPVR and its predecessor GB-PVR for about 5 years. Some guy needs to read the Wiki.

    Version 2.3.6 is the best yet, and works great with HDHomeRun Prime, and a lot of other tuners.

    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.
