Hi Chris,
Thanks for making a nice product. I have similar questions as webtech (I purchased 4.95 Pro with the 5.00 upgrade option).
I received an email yesterday from ChrisTV informing me that the new release is now available and I've downloaded it. But the email message was unclear about the details. Here are the problems:
1 - The message provided no installation instructions. Do I uninstall 4.95 Pro first or do I install 5.00 Pro over it? I searched your website and forums and could not find the answer. At the very least, the installation instructions for both new users and upgrading customers should be clearly posted with the downloads.
2 - Do I use the same registration code that I received for 4.95 Pro? The email message provided a link to "retrieve your registration information to update/upgrade or re-install your ChrisTV PVR ...". This doesn't say whether or not I need a new registration code for 5.00.
You'll make less work for yourself and you'll have happier customers if you communicate better. I'm looking forward to the answers.
Thanks.

1.
You should uninstall ChrisTV 4.xx version before installing ChrisTV PVR 5.00.
Please make sure that ChrisTV Agent is closed before uninstalling version 4.xx.
In order to maintain the scheduler and channels settings from previous version you need to backup the channels.ini and scheduler.ini files from ChrisTV 4.xx folder and copy them to ChrisTV PVR 5.00 folder.

Use the provided link, choose the product and version and enter your email address. The registration information will be sent to you.

Thanks Chris,
I also received an email with the information. Here are a couple of additional points:
1 - While you do not need to remove an earlier version of ChrisTV PVR prior to the 5.00 installation, it will not remove the older version. You'll have both the old and the new version and both will still work. If you're like me you probably don't want this so you'll want to remove the old version first. Just remember to copy the channels.ini and scheduler.ini files to a temporary folder first so you can add them to your 5.00 installation. That way you won't have to reconfigure them.
2 - I experienced audio problems with the new version. My computer has an ATI TVT2-DT TV Wonder Elite card (via Dell) and a high-end dual-core PC w/ 4 GB of RAM running Windows XP MCE. After the 5.00 installation there was no sound. Version 4.95 still worked fine. I checked all the 5.00 settings and everything was correct. I had to toggle the mute control off and on in the "Image & Sound Settings" to get any audio. After I did, it was way low. I checked all audio settings and could not find the source of the problem. (I'm a software developer and an audio professional so I understand the audio flow pretty well). I also noticed that the lipsync of the preview function was not any better than 4.95 so I tried the hardware MPEG mode to see if the picture was any better with 5.00. Suddenly the audio went out again. I had to toggle the mute setting off/on again to restore sound. The hardware MPEG picture was not any better compared to 4.95 (I didn't expect much improvement since its quality should be a function of the hardware processor in my Wonder Elite card). So I switched back to preview mode and the audio was louder this time. It still isn't as loud as it should be (it is 9-12 dB quieter than version 4.95) but at least it is now usable.
I hope these comments are helpful for others making the move to 5.00. Here's a summary of the answers:
1 - No, you don't have to remove the older version before you upgrade but the new version doesn't replace the old one so you'll be left with two versions on your computer.
2 - You do have to get a new registration code and ChrisTV will provide the necessary login and password information so you can do this.
3 - As with any upgrade, be prepared for the unexpected. My audio problem is one example.
Best regards, First Light
