Sage and Fusion Lite setup?

[gateslinger]

Anyone know the magic to get Sage to work with a Fusion Lite board? Using Sage 5.0.4, Fusion 3.30 drivers under a vanilla (not MCE) XP machine. I've disabled the Fusion HDTray apps so nothing is running except the misc processes and SageTV. I'm using my cable (Cox) as the input to the Fusion board along with 2 Hauppauge 250 boards in the system. All of the SDTV setup is fine.

The Fusion board is working and decodes the digital channels, as I can quit Sage, run the FusionHDTV app and it tunes the digitals fine with about 90% strength. I do see the "connect to inftee filter failed" if I'm running Sage when I go back to FusionHDTV, so it appears that I can't run both apps at once.

Sage recognizes the board when I add a new video source. I select DigitalTV tuner, use the cableTV (QAM) instead of OTA, and then run a scan for channels. It finds nothing, although the EPG is correct for the RF channels (say 760). I can tune to those channels, but Sage comes back with "No Signal". Hitting "view" in the channel setup on those channels provides No Signal as well.

Any ideas on what's wrong with the setup?

You can only tune OTA digital channels via SageTV, not QAM.

Will this ever be corrected?

There's nothing to correct. It's not possible to tune QAM with any PVR software in windows except for the software that comes with the cards. Until manufacturers release windows drivers that allow 3rd party apps to tune QAM it's not going to be possible.

Within Linux I understand that its already possible. How about integration between the linux sage system and windows allowing linux QAM tuners accessible from a windows based system.

This thread was about the windows version of Sage, which his why I said it's not a problem with Sage.

With Linux it's possible. I've been anxiously awaiting QAM support for the Linux version of Sage. As for integration I'm not sure what you're asking for, unless you're talking about using a Linux server as a network encoder for a windows server (that's what I've been waiting on).

I was excited when the Linux version first come out. Now I've about given up on it because there seems to be so little interest in QAM.
