DISH on SageTV?
Ive been searching google and reading posts about trying to get HD dish or cable or anything into a media center. Everything i read seems to be from 2006 or earlier though. Im sick of searching so im just gonna come straight out with it. I have an ATI HD 650 pci right now and it works fine for analog cable. I cannot figure out howto get SageTV to recognize clear QAM on it. My TV finds 5 clear QAM channels fine. I decide that im going to go with DISH though. I saw that you can get a R5000 box for like $500 (mod) + $200 (for the vip211). Theres no way in hell im doing that. Is their any other solutions for this? An HDMI input card or anything?
Thanks. |

The HD PVR? What a waste that it takes a component input. Yuck. Anything else?

yah i realize that, and i dont mean to sound rude. it just seems ridiculous that no one has come up with a way to get HD TV into a media center yet for a decent price. when i look at analog then switch to digital, looking at the same picture, you can tell quite a difference. almost seems like it would just be worth it to buy a dvr from dish and pay $6 a month.

Nope, not legally. Sorry. No way to connect an access card into the mix in such a way that Dish will approve it for use.
