I decided to use Unassigned Devices and use 4 drives mounted that way as my recording directories like I use to with a separate server. But that isn't necessary. I'm keeping it because I have the drives and it allows me the option to switch back to ESXi and virtualize unRAID again if I want. Not very likely but if they would allow running VMs and Dockers with the array stopped I wouldn't even consider switching back. Right now it is more hassle to switch back to ESXi than any benefit I would get currently. But I'm still keeping the option available to split unRAID and SageTV into separate VMs as an option to aid in unRAID maintenance while leaving SageTV still running.

Mostly that. I can leave the SageTV server running and hot plug the new drive in the unRAID VM HDD controller then fire up the unRAID VM and add the new drive to the array while I'm still recording. It usually works with the array stopped when running unRAID as the hypervisor but I have to stop the VMs and Dockers for that. Minor problem and why I haven't switched back to ESXi. But is why I've thought about it a few times. I always seem to have the free time to do this when there are no recording windows. No time for even the hot plug idea for the foreseeable future in any case.

Check into how you'll do channel changing. For me, I want to use my HD PVR as an IR Blaster, and my understanding is that this isn't available on the SageTV Docker. I'd buy a USB UIRT blaster alternatively, but not aware that's currently "easy" to get going on the SageTV Docker.
I went with a Win10 VM on Docker to get Sage going with the HD PVR Blaster, and it's working great. But, despite that I wasn't able to get SageTV going on Unraid Docker (and man I'd like to for the simplicity and management), I've LOVED my move to Unraid. I built up a dual CPU system with refurbed parts, got rid of an old 4 bay nas, and now have lots of nice server functions running like Plex and Crashplan. I'm pretty busy and it took some learning, but for me I enjoy the hobby aspects of the process. I'd recommend Unraid to anyone with the use case and aptitude to figure it out. |

I plan to have two, or maybe even three, HD-PVRs as tuners and my impression was that USB-UIRTs weren't too hard to get working in unRAID. I have never bothered even trying to use the Hauppauge IR control. But longer term I would hope to get firewire working, that has been the main way I have changed channels over the last decade and is the reason that my current server is 32 bit Windows rather than 64 bit.

Any interest in doing firewire? If you are on Rogers cable then I know that at least their older boxes like the 3250HD and 4250HD have active firewire ports. I am pretty sure that their cable infrastructure is the same in the Forest City as it is in T.O.

Ok, if I get firewire working I will keep track of what I did so that you can add it to the main distribution. It is available in gentuner so hopefully I can get it working. There aren't huge advantages to firewire but it is likely cheaper than a USB-UIRT, especially if it is built into your mobo (which isn't so common anymore) and you don't have to worry about IR tents and zone settings, but setup can be trickier, especially with multiple STBs.

I am good there as I use FireWire currently in my Windows V7 server.

Here in Canada you used to be able to buy a STB. One of the early models is the SA3250HD which is so old that it didn't have HDMI although it does have DVI and an active firewire port. The lack of HDMI doesn't matter if you are using the component outputs to feed an HD-PVR. I have had one or two of these boxes die on me but I have been able to buy some up cheaply at places like Kijiji or Craigslist. For anyone else in Ontario on Rogers cable you might want to keep that in mind.

For me, moving to Unraid from a Windows box meant ditching FW in favor of the HDPVR blasting. My FW card was an old PCI format so I decided to try IR. I was very, very reluctant about this because Firewire was working so well.
FWIW, I'm completely happy now. I never have channel issues, and the setup (in Win) was much simpler. On a separate note, I'm so glad that USB UIRT for the Docker is something in the pipeline! |
