[QUOTE="rojoyinc, post: 775988, member: 109509"] I should look into SAGE I never did. (why arent' you using that then?) I have PVR as well, and well only use it now to watch TV on my computer. (rare) I'd like to go back to using it.... but all the options were buggy and needed constant tweaking. Always ran into some problem - with guide, or IR or some such. I gave up. I don't have much desire to record. On dish most everything runs and re-runs. Can't watch it one night? It's on another... and movies? You can download them instead of recording them. Movies these days aren't what they use to me. Not really worth watching most, and one a great one does come along. I go by the blue-ray. So what are the downfalls of SAGE? is it a hardware item as well? I'm not familiar other than just hearing it's name tossed about. So I can't record unless I go down to computer room and "set it up" and make an effort and typically there isn't anything I want to record that bad. I like XBMC to play back my movies, and home videos, view photos and play music. I also can operate my computer from my living room upstairs. I have a wireless keyboard to run things. XBMC does have some TV features - it tends to use MP's tuner setup (again kludgy) I think I still ran into guide issues. It's been a while since I gave it up and use dish for TV and XBMC for all multimedia playback now. Less stress. [/QUOTE]
