    IMPORTANT:
    • You need to select the recording tool, even if you continue to use WinTvCap!
    • Notes for GBRecord users only
      - You'll need to add a PRESETS section to direct ini.
      - Please, make sure to tell direct.ini the type of PVR card you are using.
      - The profile names are different, so you'll need to edit Profiles.ini
      (or you have to use the "default" profile)
      - The "One touch recording" button does not work so far!
      - The "Record unlimited" button does not work so far!
      - The "Stop" button does not work so far!

Version 1.0.1.170

  • Fixed: A bug in beta release 169 caused invalid tasks. Recording could fail, because of
    invalid mpg file name.

    - Date_Time + Channel + Program

  • Improved: EPG tasks older than 2 days ar not displayed any more

Version 1.0.1.163

  • New: Tasks scheduled from the task list can be recorded from Composite or S-Video, too.
    This is useful if channels are available as analoge source (recording via PVR tuner)
    and as digital source (DVB-S/C/T, recording via Composite or S-Video).Version 1.0.1.169

In case of trouble with beta 172 you should try beta 170, which is quite stable, but does not support GBRecord!
