GB-PVR is a fully featured home media center application, running on Microsoft Windows, allowing you to watch TV, schedule recordings, watch videos, watch DVDs, listen to music, view photos. It has a large user base of PVR enthusiasts, which contribute to its support and further development of various plugins and utilities, making GB-PVR customizable.

GB-PVR is freeware, but it is a closed source proprietary application:

Is this project open source?

No sorry. GB-PVR supports open interfaces, but the core engine code is not publically available. You are able to develop your own plugins to extend GB-PVR, and there are several examples available to get you started. Plugins can be developed in C#, VB.NET or C++. Visit the forum and the wiki for more information.
