When?

[DigiDAD]

This was announced several months ago. Given that Windows 10 will ship on July 29 without Media Center, it would have been great if this was made available a few months prior so any kinks could be ironed out beforehand. With SageTV's proven track record, it could have attracted a lot of WMC users if it was available and already tested with 10 right out of the gate.

To be fair, I suspect Google's interests in this situation are in no way whatsoever beholden to, or influenced by, the activities of Microsoft....

Agreed - still would be nice though. I'm currently runing Snapstream on Windows 7 because I had some strange behavior on 8. I was thinking of switching to Media Center with ServerWMC, but since Media Center has no future as of 10, that is no longer an option. I've played with NextPVR in the past but it wasn't quite as polished. An Open Source SageTV would definitely be worthy of consideration.

Most WMC users will not flock to SageTV as SageTV cannot record DRM. Most prime users will flock to the HDHomerun DVR as it will do DRM.

Maybe then Maybe Not
Will the HDHomerun DVR let record DRM channel like HBO and other premiere channel ?.
Can you copy thoses DRM File ?.
Can you covert the them DRM file non DRM file ?.
Look like you need an approved NAS hardware as not going be windows server software as far I can tell.
From what I saw so far no other video media playback nor picture or music support seasm to just plain out run mill DVR box aka TiVo.
And just now start to ship it out

That is all I want I have plex for media player and kodi so all I need is a DVR. I want to be able to record my DRM channels and watch them on my android device or windows pc. I do not care about copying them. ... or re-encoding them I watch and delete. Why would I want to convert DRM to non_drm it is illegal when I can watch it on any windows pc or android device.


Bottom line is that SageTV does not record DRM channels so I really do not care about the media playing portion there are better media players such as kodi plex.

Sure Kodi and Plex are better at many things but I don't want to have to have multiple devices at every TV to facilitate playback. I would really prefer everything in one device and Sage is what my family has been using for a long time and it is what I would prefer using going forward.

I use kodi now with the HDHOMERUNVIEW software to watch livetv... On my Kodi PC and Raspberry PI.

Can I ask you something do you even own a HDHomerun prime and have tested their software.... because obviously you are misinformed.

Ture but I think your missing the BIGGER PICTURE here big questions is for how long as mainsteam support has all ready stop with W7 soon W8 in fact they haven't even update WMC for min moons, So there good chance you kiss your EPG good bye in next few years any way, and not forget Silicondust is on it kicking WMC to the curb giving some user an option so kiss any update for WMC good by, and don't see anything happing at Ceton Corp in fact I haven't heard of any rumors so they to are be on way out door and people are need of other options.

That is why I am converting to the HDHomerunDVR ... I also want to downsize my server as much as possible so having the HDHomerun prime and other HD Homerun tuners is the best way to go. I no longer want a big server box. I no longer want cable boxes USBUirt's and hauppauge capture devices. I have 2 primes and 2 Ota Hd Homerun connects ready to go.

That big plus to it.
But point of my post about was about HD Homerun DVR software this not your WMC.

So far No one know as nobody has the client software or hardware

We should be getting it either tonight or tomorrow if all goes as planned ... to start beta testing. The Recording Engine will run on windows ... mac ... linux not just a NAS.

Anything yet? I am looking for alternatives to WMC so I can let my PCs upgrade to Win 10.
