Re: Daily Frustrations when being a HTPC enthusiast
I used to have the same problems. Constant issues with SageTV and constant issues with my PC clients. I switched to WMC and it was even worse and I couldn’t do half the stuff SageTV could do. I switched back and got it working ok, but no matter what I did there was always something that I couldn’t get to work. DTS, or smooth playback, or MKVs. It was a mess. That all went away when I switched from PC clients to the HD100 and HD200 extenders. Since then, 95% of my problems are the bad HD-PVR I have. It fails every 2 weeks or so, but I’m too cheap to replace it and I have my hopes up for CableCard on SageTV.
Now I’m building a system for my brother in Sacramento. 125 miles away. I hope I’m not getting myself into a support nightmare…
