Great News
This is great news, I can’t wait to see how SageTV moves forward. I still run SageTV server with 3 PC clients, but have to admit my primary system is now Argus TV / Kodi based.
I have to state the backend of Argus TV is excellent, it never fails. I have problems with SageTV frequently missing the audio on HD channels and I never managed to resolve it – using both TBS6284 & TBS6285 quad T2 tuners. The ability to record all channels on a single frequency is a big improvement. However as everybody else has stated even though a lot of us have found alternatives to SageTV I have personally never found a replacement I’m 100% happy with. There simply isn’t anything that comes close to the overall experience of a proper client server setup like SageTV (Simple things like I hate moving to a different room in my house and not being able to carry on watching a video were I left off) My main wish list (most of which people have stated before). It’s short as to be honest I liked most things already in SageTV and look forward to being able to revert back to it as my primary system in the future! Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make this a possibility and also to those who will continue to make it a reality • Ability to record multiple channels on single frequency • Ability to use as a backend to KODI, • Better tuner support (problems with audio and my TBS Quad tuners) • Easier setup, I struggle to get SageTV to play certain file formats (and simply don’t have this issue out of the box with Kodi)

Get Rid Of Java And Go 100% ActiveX
Supporting remote audio and video using a solution let me test this out. Java was an option as was a java-free option (just using ActiveX). I can say by far that the ActiveX solution was more stable, more secure, faster and used far less CPU while providing the same if not better audio and video.

Of course nothing beats Sage and I would move back in a heartbeat. I am in agreement with Fuzzy, the PI2 does 80% of what I need in all of client locations except for my main media room (projector, screen, AV gear) where a dedicated PC has the flexibility to drive the media experience I need in that room. I am excited to see where this goes. |

Sorry but there are much better and much newer technologies that provide the same functionality as ActiveX and have the advantage of working across different browsers and operating systems.

They are but as I mentioned they work 100% when used with my current Argus TV backend, and also all the other PVR packages I tried before settling on Argus TV / KODI (WMC, Next PVR etc..). I only have seen the issue in SageTV so far so I dont think the problem is the card/drivers :-(

Anything related to tuner support CAN be supported via the network encoder interface (and I feel that is actually the preferred method going forward). In any case, this doesn't require open source, and would work with the current version of sage. What it would require is to have, for instance, 2 network encoder ports for each 'tuner', have the encoder control the tuner, recording to a buffer, and writing out a file when asked to tune a virtual channel. If the channel requested by sage is on a stream already being recorded, it will utilize the same tuner, and just remux the proper tracks out to the new file. The issue is that sage would not necessarily KNOW when this is happening, and may ask for more tuned channels than are able to be done from the number of physical channels you can record. This will then simply result in a failure to tune on the new channel, and sage will have to deal with that. I'm not positive, because my memory simply doesn't work right anymore, but I thought someone DID create a SageTV network encoder like this MANY years ago, for systems that are likely now obsolete...

Excited to hear the news of SageTV getting open-sourced soon!
I just dusted off my SageTV server and extenders yesterday and got it all running again. After living with Comcast Xfinity X1 for a year, I'm ready to get back to a real whole-home DVR experience. Also one that doesn't nickel and dime me for each TV/STB. The X1 has some unique features that are nice, but their STB are way too slow. +1 on the Roku/Amazon FireTV clients. (maybe AppleTV in some future world) Cheers, SB

Thanks for the suggestion Eddy :-) OK I've installed that and will see if it makes a difference

I'm very excited about this. I just bought an Intel "Computestick" to run Windows on. It would be awesome to see a Windows version of SageTV Client running on this stick.

It should be possible, but the reports on AVS Forum are not promising regarding it's video playback performance.

When I was considering it, you guys all sold me on the features and convinced me that the value was worth the price. Of course I was so elated with how well it worked I went out and got an HD300 when I needed one and didn't balk at the price at all. That being said, I currently use an RPi2 with OSMC/Kodi in the bedroom on a small screen with stock speakers, and I find the "80%" to be quite sufficient. The Pi2 fixed ALL of the video stuttering and UI slowness that I experienced with previous Pis. I think one advantage of going open source is that it opens up all kinds of options for all different price points for hardware. Wherever you want to get in, you can. |

Great news. But I've lost so many channels to CableCard copy protection that I'm now considering dropping cable.
