I just ordered HD300 - SageTV 6.6 to 7?

[mitchedo]

I just ordered a pair of HD300's. It looks like SageTV 6.6 is what comes with them, is that right?

I'm new here, but I keep hearing about SageTV 7. Is it in beta? Will I get a free upgrade?

EDIT: Never mind, answered my own question:

NOTE: Any Version 6 licenses (full version or upgrade) purchased now will also function with Version 7 of SageTV that is currently in beta testing. Version 7 upgrade keys can be purchased here. More information on V7 is available in the SageTV Forums

On a related note:

Hey, Sage, offer me an HD300 + 6-to-7 upgrade bundle for a modest discount and I jump on your pre-order list.

The "new" bundle deal is essentially $50 ($30 off) for STV. How about an upgrade bundle for $175 (same discount, 37.5%, off the upgrade price)?

Did you order a bundle that comes with SageTV or just the HD300 itself?

If you purchased a bundle: then, yes, you answered your own question regarding the license.

If you did not purchase a bundle, then the HD300 doesn't come with any version of SageTV. It has its own interface when used by itself when not connected to a SageTV server. When connected to a server in extender mode, it uses the UI from the version of SageTV installed on the server.

Hear Hear! I'd jump on that too.

Same here. I'm not sure why they don't offer a similar discount.

Does anyone know the actual reason?

Because they can still sell the upgrades at full price?

Probably because the "upgrade" is technically already a discount versus the "full" price.
