This looks very cool. I'm excited to find out if it will support QAM in Sage although judging from the way it seems to work I would think it would.

Seems like there would be a possible way to set it up with the Universal Network Encoder.

Please, Please let this happen. This device sounds awesome! Dual HD QAM tuners via network streaming. The moment a plugin/hack/driver is released for Sage, I'm jumping all over this thing.

Very interesting.
But to really make it work well, we'd need Guide Data by tuner in Sage. As it is now I'd have to see if there is another guide from another coverage area that I could use for this. This is the reason why I gave up on firewire recording. |

Well, I caved and bought one. The HDhomerun devs seem really dedicated to making their device compatable with any product that wants it so I figure the best way to encourage them was with my money

Please everyone go to the forum and state your interest in development of a SageTV drivers. If he realizes that there is a huge market for SageTV, he can spend more resources on that than say, BeyondTV or mediaportal...

The problem is that the channel numbers you use on your cable box have no correlation to the actual frequency that the channel is at. So you could still setup the HDhomerun using the EPG data for your digital cable, however, Sage would need to have some table somewhere that would translate the channel number to the freq/pid's that the HDhomerun needs. It's really pretty trivial and shouldn't be any type of a road block.

It still needs guide data for your area.
I use two HD boxes so I get the digital versions of HBO and Showtime that look way better than the analog ones. So if I add one of these boxes it's going to use the same guide data as my two existing cable boxes. But sage will have no clue this new box can't view HBO and Showtime. So thats why you need Guide data per tuner. I could use a Guide from a neighboring area IF it matches closely enough. If not, I've got issues. |

So I'd have the firewire connected boxes not able to record any SD or any HD other than the 5 free stations. But using the same guide data as a box that does. And Sage not knowing about any of it. Makes a big mess. |

I was over at their site reading the boards and noticed a poll on your favorite front end. Sage was clearly the favorite.

I couldn't find that poll for favorite front end, but I would like to put my vote in the hat for Sage. Where was it?
