[QUOTE="sjeffrey, post: 700686, member: 81884"] I have tried Sage and MythTV. For MythTV I never had the patience to configure the entire thing so I can pronounce on that one. For SageTV it was a bit more stable but still had issues. One thing I had wanted to do for a while was to make the pause time between channel change configurable. That's how SageTV is setup. This stops the timeshift buffer for 'x' seconds to allow the streaming to clear up and avoid DD switch glitches and what not. The only issue is that once you got to a commercial break the glitch would still happen. The receiver not responding to IR commands is a very weird one. As you said it works with original remote but all the receivers I had, SD, HD, HD PVR all had the same issue that a universal remote would not work for the first minute or so after powering on. Wile's idea about command line to send IR is a good idea. What I have done is setup a auto-tune timer on the STB every 12 or 24 hours (can't remember). The interesting thing there is that there is an option to turn off the standby timer but it doesn't seem to work. [/QUOTE]
