These forums have sprung to live in the last 28 hours!

Nothing like a hard deadline to get people motivated.

Yep I think a lot of SageTV 6 & 7 users got rocked by the announcement.

I resemble that remark ;-)

Maybe there should be a sticky to help people upgrade .... I am sure some SageTV 6 users are not as technical...as they have probably never messed with their Sage Setup.

I highly doubt that...
Sage 6 was so much more work to get setup just right vs Sage 7...
running sage 6 all these years implies a certain level of expertise...
they are probably just lazy and never got around to upgrading...

My question is: how are they hearing about it if they've been 'set it and forget it' for years? Subscribed to the Announcements thread?

If that's the case, things will really be jumping in July.

[SomeWhatLost]

while I am currently on v9, my very detailed and complicated plan revolves completely around the concept of wait till July, then panic...

I don't want the free EPG to go away... I quite happen to like it just fine the way it is...
hopefully Google will reconsider?
they did let sage go OS after all?
one little EPG server is minuscule in the grand scheme of Google... maybe they wont even notice if no one turns it off...

wonder if my free lifetime BTV EPG still works? anyway to feed that into sage?

Out of curiousity, I just logged into https://www.snapstream.net and am able to see EPG data. Don't think there would be any good way of getting it into Sage though.

I'm very impressed with all the V6 SageMC users that have surfaced.

I can't find it at the moment, but I have a feeling this might be some violation of the EULA. If someone can prove me wrong, I wouldn't have any problem looking into this as an option. I have a BeyondTV license I could dust off.

And/or we found that Sage 6 did everything we needed, so weren't convinced that the update was worth the trouble.

And/or they didn't want to pay the upgrade fee. If I remember correctly it was a pretty painless upgrade.

Some may have come here from the Google Sage TV community at https://plus.google.com/u/0/communit...45745409066205 as Graham Knights posted news about the Guide shutting down on January 8,2017.


If Narflex still controls the SageTV twitter feed at https://twitter.com/SageTV he may want to log in to it and make a special tweet telling those still in the dark that SageTV is open source and up to version 9 and the EPG guide is shutting down to get those still following that don't know.

yes, but in either case, I stand by my statement that it had nothing to do with the lack of technical ability

I just found the EULA, and nope we can't use it.
