SageTV Still the Best

So, that still leaves me with my annoyance that I need to care about locally stored vs in the cloud, with no unified search. And the GUI for Roku (HuluPlus or PlayOn) or SageTV is sad. I used to like the Roku.HuluPlus GUI until the latest update, now I can't find anything, and happy I just terminated my HP given my cord reattachment. As the above posts discuss, I'll have to suck up my distaste as the odds of that being solved are nil.

I use Hulu desktop and launch it with sage. Works fine with a remote. Much easier to find things vs any other UI I've used.

On an extender? Or on an HTPC?

HTPC. I don't use extenders. Too limited.

I just wanted to say a hearty thank you to all the great folks still keeping Sage alive and well. I just moved from Dish to Comcast, and the transition from the Hauppauge Colossus to HDHomerun Prime was way smoother than I'd expected. I thought I'd have to give up Sage for WMC, but I'm so glad I don't have to. With SageDCT, I have all of my channels except for a few (HBO, etc.), which is just fine since the shows are available via On Demand or HBOGO.

So again, thank you. I've been a Sage user since v3 and still as happy as a clam.

You are correct. Sagetv was great purchase, way back when.
I still use it! Amazing!
