Bowing Out

Well folks, I'm bowing out of blogging on TGB.  Granted, I have not exactly been what you would consider an active blogger (last entry, 7 months ago!) but that is not the only reason.  I have spent the last week and a half setting up SageTV in the lobster abode, and to be perfectly frank, I'm not sure I'll be moving back to VMC.  Streaming DVDs, support of nearly every format under the sun, a true PC based client, HD-PVR support, and several other features are really pulling me in that direction.  Yes, the interface is certainly its weak point, but after installing some decent add-ons and a bit of training for the rest of the household, I'm kinda liking it.  Now, I have not completely committed to Sage yet (have not plunked down the $$$) and I'm not 100% converted yet, but man, it's tough not to keep moving in that direction.

If I decide to complete the transition, there will be a DMA2100 up for sale soon.  Regardless of which direction I go, though, this is certainly my final blog entry.  Thanks everyone!

Did you find a way for Sage to incorporate your existing DVR-MS library without editing by hand the meta data for each one?  Before I would make the transition to Sage, I would need to get 250 hrs worth of DVR-MS to show in Sage's recorded TV, and find a DVD library app that is on par with My Movies.

I'm thinking about heading in that same direction.  But I would need to use multiple Sage HD extenders, have you tried one of those yet?  Will you be using any Sage extenders?

In Texas we have a saying, "don't piss on my leg, and tell me it's raining".  Having used Media Center since 2003, I feel as if my leg is wet enough to jump ship.
