SageTV + Pansat FTA
My wife wants me to look into getting Pansat FTA service. My concern is integrating my HTPC. I currently have Dish and want to switch to save money, but I am concerned about being able to intelligently record programming with my Sage HTPC.
Specs: AMD64 3000+ Asus A8N 512MB RAM DDR400 200GB SATA HD Hauppauge WinDVR 150MCE GeforceFX 5700 Onboard audio + networking. WinXP SP2 (32 bit)

I've been using Sage with my Pansat 2300a for awhile now and so far so good.

Sure, but what do you have so far?
Your going to need the pansat (obviously) if you have one, which do you have or are you planning on getting? Also your going to need a USBUirt to change channels. You'll need to use the xmltv plugin to get the EPG for the different dishes you set up. and I think thats about it. Let me know what you have or what your getting and hopefully I can get you going. Just so you know... "FTA" might be going down soon for good so it might be something to think about.
