Lineup editor

DVBLink4HDPVR - LineupEditor

The following is new in DVBLink for HDPVR 2.0

Once a lineup has been selected from Windows Media Center, users can do common Media Center’s guide management tasks:

  • Channel renaming
  • Channel renumbering
  • Add user channels
  • Delete guide channels
  • Show/Hide guide channels
  • Change lineup (using the Setup Wizard)
  • Synchronize your changes with Media Center

For the people familiar with Guide Tool, I’m sure you’ll feel at home here. Most of the commands provided by the lineup editor indeed comes straight from Guide Tool.

HDPVR Setup

From the HDPVR Setup page, users reflects their HDPVR’s inputs configuration so that DVBLink for HDPVR knows from which HDPVR inputs get the audio and video streams. Do not miss this page or you’ll certainly end up for sure with a “No TV signal” problem.

The about page provides lots of information.

The support links provides easy access to various source of documentation.

The most interesting part of this page is the version information. Because DVBLink for HDPVR is a combination of 2 products (DVBLink and HDPVRBridge), it can be confusing for users to determine whether or not they have the right combination of products installed. This combination of products is call the DVBLink for HDPVR product version. The handy button Get Product Version performs a validation of your installation are confirms that both products are indeed installed properly and compatible… or not.
