GB-PVR – Media Center and Personal Video Recorder

GB-PVR, as the name says, is a PVR (personal video recorder) and media center application for Windows, whose main function is scheduling TV recordings, pausing and playing back live TV. GB-PVR also functions as a media center, something which we reviewed quite often in the past (XBMC, Media Portal, Moovida, Boxee). It has a digital video recorder, an online radio station tuner, a music and movie player, an image viewer and the like.

GB-PVR supports a wide range of analog and digital TV tuner cards from popular brands like Hauppauge, Adaptec, ATI, Conexant, Pinnacle and more. It also supports most IR remote control devices. GB-PVR can playback and record many video formats like MPEG, AVI, DivX, Xvid etc. Other file formats can be played if the required codecs are installed on the computer. For instance, H.264 encoded videos, and MP4 files can be played only with third party codecs installed.

Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website.

So, here is how you can do that.
