Seems rather cumbersome, why not just use Media Center/

And we wonder why HTPCs haven't had greater penetration that they do.

Here is one case where the HD-PVR would probably be a better bet and just let SageTV do the whole thing.

The MC tuner service (ehrecvr.exe) is just another piece of the underlying platform (like the audio, dhcp or dns services); are you advocating that the only non-"kludgey" solutions are those built in-house from the metal up?

Software development is all about leveraging other people's work; why is this any different?]]>Oct 21st 2009 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/cablecard-tuners-come-to-sagetv-via-sagemctuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/cablecard-tuners-come-to-sagetv-via-sagemctuner/Oct 21st 2009 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/cablecard-tuners-come-to-sagetv-via-sagemctuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/cablecard-tuners-come-to-sagetv-via-sagemctuner/Oct 21st 2009 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/cablecard-tuners-come-to-sagetv-via-sagemctuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/cablecard-tuners-come-to-sagetv-via-sagemctuner/Oct 22nd 2009 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/cablecard-tuners-come-to-sagetv-via-sagemctuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/cablecard-tuners-come-to-sagetv-via-sagemctuner/Let see you try setup 2 CableQAM, 2 ATSC and 2 SVideo input beside it dosen't support HD-PVR any way to bad Windows lost my vote with MCE other the Windows 7 it self rocks.

HD-PVR can be made to work with 3rd party hacks, but so waht. Hacks suck and so does the analog hole.

In the end using the analog hole or being limited to in the clear content is lame. Sorry. I have no use for hacky IR blasting solutions that hose my video fidelity via re-compression. I didn't invest in a 65" panel to watch 480i renditions of 1080i content.

Seriously SAGE is decent, but this tool is pointless and SAGE falls over if you want enything other than in the clear content unless you're willing to put up with IR blasting and another encode stage.

I didn't get FIOS tv just to hose the image with a re-compression stage . Since this "solution" will fail for protected content it is a big NO-OP in my case.
