How Does SageTV Media Server for Windows Home Server work?
I'm a little confused about how the SageTV Media Server for Windows Home Server works. Is it:
1. Install tuner card in the WHS and attach you cable/antenna to the card. 2. Install the add-in on the WHS. 3. Install an unnamed client on another PC hooked up to your TV so that you can control SageTV and watch recorded content? |

Will we need a SageTV Client as well as the Media Server software? I assume we will. I don't think RDP is going to give you enough enough power to watch video on a client machine.
What if we already own MediaCenter. Will we be able to do somesort of license swap? In other words, I don't want to have to shell out another $80 when I build a WHS box and want to make it a SageServer as well. (I only want 1 box on 24/7). |

I just got my WHS box setup this week and plan on migrating Sage from my livingroom box to my WHS box.
What do I need to backup on my existing box and copy over to my WHS box so I don't lose all of my Favorites? I'm thinking wiz.bin or something like that, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong. |

Regarding the licenses, you CAN swap the licenses around between Sage Windows, and SageWHS - as long as it isn't an 'upgrade' license. If you have an older license (pre version 6.x) you'd normally be presented with the screen to enter your license and then be prompted for the upgrade key. Well, SageWHS doesn't have the mechanism to prompt for the upgrade key (It will tell you that your pre-v6 key is invalid and never give you the chance to enter the upgrade key.
I emailed Sage support and was told that WHS doesn't currently support an upgrade install. I had to buy a new license, but it works for either version. -PGPfan

I expect that you plan to keep your old PC, the recordings can be copied from this to the new WHS box. If you consider to reuse the HDs in the WHS, add them after you've successfully migrated SageTV (WHS formats drives when you add them). Quote:
