Ryokurin said:Sage only works with hardware based cards so if you dont have a pvr250 or better look elsewhere. in its defense going hardware only makes it so quick and relatively light weight on resources too.
and to exit to the systray all you need to to is disable the screensaver in sleep mode.
CrimandEvil said:No thats software based, I would use GotTV for it then.
Regarding MythTV -
I have used mythtv before and I did like the way it looked. That being said there are some flaws that make it almost impossible for a Satellite TV subscriber to use. #1 USB-UIRT is no supported. So while MythTV can receive an IR signal, it currently does not have the capability to transmit it, so how would you change the channels? Also unless you are a linux guru (I consider myself an intermediate user, no where near a guru) you wont know how to tweak certain applications for better viewing.
MythtTv is currently leaps and bounds above other PVR apps, just be prepared to spend lots of time F***ing with it.
I have to disagree with the user who said BeyondTV recording setup was cumbersome..... there is a web interface that you can use to setup recordings, but I didn't even discover it until I had been recording through the main interface for a week or so.
