SageTV HardwareDVR

Outvit · #1 12-23-2005, 06:58 PM

Whatever happened to the SageTV hardware DVR running embedded linux? I applied for the early testers program and I got a response but I wasn’t about to pay out $1,000 for the hardware, etc... just to deal with something in its alpha stages, and past that I have heard nothing. I see a photo of it on the front page but there are no links to its development status or anything else. I haven't heard anything of the thing in several months now. Anyone have more information?

I don't see it for sale. Funny.

There's at least one person on the forums who has one, and they even got it to work as a client to a Sage server (can't remember who though).

OH, and the product isn't a Sage corp product, it's made by someone else, so you won't see it for sale on the site here I wouldn't think...

Well then. I guess it was my mistake to assume it was when its photographed on home page. I was just curious about the product and what it's developed into since the early testers program I mentioned.

Interesting. Is it the same code base used in the media ready 6000? That one is being demoed at CES supposedly WITH cablecard support built in. Does that mean Sage managed to get a license from cablelabs for cablecard under linux?

Thanks,
mike

NO, That means that VWB managed to get the license.

Surprising news, but good news for the htpc world
