Studio Information Resources

[Opus4]

Studio is now available to all SageTV users!

SageTV Studio is the application used to develop and customize the SageTV user interface. As of version 4.0, this application is now publicly available to all registered SageTV users. There is no additional application to install in order to use studio -- it is included in each SageTV and SageTV Client installation. After registering SageTV, Studio may be started by using the Customize command (default: Ctrl+Shift+f12), which will cause Studio to open in a new window with the currently-loaded STV ready for editing.
