a few questions before i buy

[boognish]

Hello all,
Im new to sagetv and have been playing around with it for a few days.

I am thinking about buying this since it seems to be the most wife-friendly software ive found and it has all the features ive been lookign for!!

I have a few questions before i do though.

1. Can you add your favorites to the youtube feature? I want to be able to access the favorites that ive saved on my account. its alot easier to search on the comp and save favorites to view on the tv

2. Is there anyway to save the thumbnails in the video category so it doesnt have to refresh everytime its started? Right now the pc is loud in the living room and I turn it off in between uses.. it takes a bit to load all the covers when i go to view them again after restarting.

I thought i had more ?'s, but I cant think of them right now

thanks in advance for anyone that helps and sways me in the direction to purchase this fine software

Not unless there is a way to find your favorites by searching for a username or keyword.

The thumbnails aren't being regenerated; they are being reloaded into memory from the disk. If you are talking about the imported video browser, then because it can take time to load images from the disk, the browser delays loading thumbs until a short time after user input has stopped. It does this so you can scroll up/down/etc w/o having to wait for all the thumbs on the next page to load before you can continue scrolling.
