How many days until the next new STV (Poll) :)

[CanadianEh]

So now that Studio is out..... how many days do you think it will be until we start seeing an onslaught of new STV's for Version 4.0?

[malore]

It depends on what you'll accept as qualifying as a new STV. I think changes to the look and other minor changes could be done within a couple of weeks, but I would be surprised if a STV adding a significant new capability or a radical alteration of the user interface appeared within the month.

[CanadianEh]

I think I would say anyone who creates either a significant modification to an existing STV, or creates a new basic STV with typical SageTV functionality.

I'm personally hoping to see some GUI's with a different type of look.... color combos, layouts.... I haven't looked at Studio enough to see if it's something I'll play around with yet... I am no programmer.. lol

Probably less than a month, although for the larger UI feel changes, it will take longer. Re-arranging stuff is pretty easy, changing the layout is too, but once you start getting into new themes, there gets to be a lot to do.

[Crashless]

If the question is how long until a completely new, original, fully-funtional STV, my guess is at least a couple of months.

It's a lot more work than people realize.

I don't mean to discourage people though, I can't wait to see it.

I'll guess the beginings of new STVs will show up within a month.

If an import counts then Abasu2003 is the winner. He came out with this the first night.

I'd count it, but judging by the speed, I suspect that Abasu2003 might have had access to Studio prior to SageTV4's release.

He did - cheater.

If any sort of modification to an existing STV counts, then I just voted for < 3 days because of this one.

(I like to vote after I already know the answer.)
