Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to get the HD HomeRun seen/working in SageTV 5.0? I have searched the Sage forum and HD HomeRun and can not find anything. I currently have a network encoder setup in the sage.properties file and I am assuming I have to add a few lines to make Sage see this tuner? Thanks in advance.

Did you follow the instructions at the below link? You'll probably have to register(free) if you haven't been there before. http://www.silicondust.com/forum/vie...d89fb254bbe4ad Silicondust :: View topic - SageTV HDHomeRun Instructions - Digital Cable |

This morning I had 3 green lights lit up on my HDHR(not including the power led). Anyone know why, and how many lights are actually there? I've assumed that at least two of them indicate two tuners, but I'm not sure what the other(rest) of them might be.

I'm waiting on mine to arrive.
The subject pretty much says it all. I managed to get one by convincing 3 people to pool their Xmas gift for me. I've already registered and joined the SageTV group over at Silicondust. I just need for it to get here now, it's already been a hour since it was ordered.
![]() However, that means if I'm dissappointed... I'm going to blame all of you for it. ![]() PS:Thanks for the headsup on the lights. I was looking at the picture at 9th tee and noticed the slim rectangular opening in the front. Is that just for air intake so the back vents can pull air in from the front, OR is that a cablecard slot? I just thought I'd ask since it seems like such a specific shape to not use some type of card/input. I'm curious about it's use for possible expansion of the box's abilities. Thanks for bring such a cool pruduct to my attention, /justme Last edited by justme; 12-03-2006 at 04:33 PM. |

I <3 my HDhomerun. I just watched the bears game in HD on my main TV, while at the same time watching the colts game in HD on my laptop.

I subscribed to this post and read each update with much interest and I feel very sorry for myself ... I am in Ontario, Canada, in an area where I can't get any OTA HD and the cable provider here has the only clear QAM signal is for SD channels. As wonderful as the HDHomeRun seem and as much as I would like to use Sage for HD, I am SOL ! ![]() Please try to bear with the wait for your HDHomeRun to arrive ... while I'm depressed ... <just kidding> |

OK... I have been using the HDHR for a few days, and I have to say I love it. I can't wait until I get a second one, and once I verify that all of the channels I want are available from Comcast unecrypted QAM, that PVR-500 is out the door!
At this point, I am having a couple of issues with the HDHR, neither of which has anything to do with the HDHR itself!
Anyone have any suggestions???

The numbers are CPU utilization 25-35% when watching and recording HD with just Sage, to over 80% when watching and recording HD with Sage and Sage Service running. The CPU is an Athlon 64 3000+. |

Anybody happen to be using one of these for a connection with Charter cable? Just wondering what you guys were picking up. I'd be happy with all the HD stuff I have with my firewire box, but I'm betting at least some of that isn't QAM unencrypted.

Charter QAM
I'm not using an HDHomerun (thinking about getting one though!), but do have an HDTV. In Rochester I get MN Public TV and the 4 major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox) as clear QAM signals over cable.

I apologize ahead of time for this question as I am new to Sage. I am planning to switch from BTV due to the QAM support. I am planning on purchasing a HDHomeRun but I also need NTSC for my analog channels. Will I be able to add an analog tuner as well as the HDHomeRun and be able to transparently change channels within Sage without having to choose which tuner I want to use? What I need is something that is as easy to change channels on that my wife can use as easily as she can change channels on a tv.

Yes, it works nicely. I have an HDHomeRun for Comcast cable in SF and an R5000 modified Star Choice sat STB for Canadian TV and all the channel listings for both are in the guide. Just select the channel you want and press enter/select.

I know have one of these units also. For the channels which are unencrypted, it is great. Alas, I can't displace my PVR500 because too many channels are encrypted, but that isn't the device's fault.
One strange thing I found is that I could not hear any audio under Sage on recordings from my HDHR while using the NVIDIA audio decoder filter. All of my other available choices for the audio decoder do provide sound though. |
