GBPVR 0.99.5 released

GBPVRGBPVR is a free PC PVR software package including media-center-like functionality, free for download. Unfortunately, it didn't support the PVR card I have in my PC, so I couldn't tell you how well it works. The interface looks nice, and it seems that the setup isn't too hard, so you'll have to let me know what you think of it if you install it on one of the supported cards listed. The currently supported TV tuner cards (as listed on the GBPVR website) are:
  • Hauppauge PVR250, PVR250MCE, PVR350, PVR USB2, PVR150, PVR150MCE and the dual-tuner PVR500MCE
  • ATI Theatre 550 Pro
  • Emuzed Maui-I, Emuzed Maui-II, Emuzed Maui-III
  • DVB-T and DVB-S devices with BDA drivers including:
    • Hauppauge Nova-S
    • Hauppauge Nova-T
    • Hauppauge Nova-T USB2
    • Pinnacle MediaCenter 300i
    • Twinhan DVB-S, DVB-T, DVB-C
    • FireDTV DVB-S, DVB-T, DVB-C
    • Dvico Fusion DVB-T
    • V-Box DTT-150
    • Blockgold GDI DVB-T
    • Lifeview FlyDVB-T
    • ...and lots of others
  • GO7007SB based capture devices, such as Plextor PX-M402U, Plextor PX-TV402U and Lifeview TV Walker
The program requires Windows XP or 2000, and the Microsoft .net framework 2.0 installed to run. Windows 2000 requires MDAC 2.6 or higher as well. GBPVR is not open-source, but you can get started writing your own plug-ins in C#, VB.NET or C++ for it by visiting the developer's forum.
