Yes, they could have fixed ALOT of bugs and possibly introduce some more or none. Its better to use newer builds

If you don't want or need one of the new features and you are happy with your current setup don't upgrade until you see how it fairs for other people. That is my 2 cents.

I've always said 'if it ain't broke don't fix it. Like cenwesi said 'Yes, they could have fixed ALOT of bugs and possibly introduce some more or none.' My question is : if I uninstall the previous version as directed in the FAQ, will the new SageTV retain my IR remote control, video input sources, channel settings and all other customizations?

That FAQ also links to this topic: How to install a new version of SageTV. Your current configuration is kept, except that the STV is reset to use the default STV. It is up to you to re-apply any STV customizations.
If you want to see what all has changed through the various betas, the beta forum section has a sticky that links to all the beta versions & their release notes. Chapter 8 of the v5 manual lists some of the major documented changes. - Andy

I upgraded from 2.x to v5, and updated my PureVideo also.
FSE was kinda buggy on my 9800 Pro, so I'm using VMR9 + Hardware Acceleration. I like the fading menus. Don't really notice that much difference, but then again I don't push the evenlope on every single feature in SageTV. No problems, so I'm happy I upgraded. ![]() Edit: It's really nice to be able to customize the long and short skip times for fwd/bkwd.

Anyway, FSE works for some and not for others. So the only way to really know how it's going to work for you is to try it. I highly doubt you're going to see a release that's going to magically fix people's issues with FSE. DX, decoder, video card, driver, and quite a few other things can make a huge difference in how well FSE works or if it works at all. Just read how many people have nearly identically setups but drastically different results with FSE. Last edited by blade; 05-01-2006 at 04:47 PM. |
