Will this work....

I might buy a set top box, but will I be able to have Sage control it. (I want to use it as a DVR.) I would need sage to be able to change channels and record on a schedule. I want the DVR capability of my current setup, being able to set it up to record and walk away.
All I want is to be able to get DVR on Fios through Sage.

The only thing that will get you the full native resolution HD from cable/FIOS is the R5000-HD mod. This works very well with Sage. Expensive, but several folks have it working fine with Moto boxes from VZ.

I have one, and it works great. Much better than a cablecard Vista based system. No DRM.
