SageTV v3 Beta Progress Report Discussion

I am not at liberty to discuss the exact features that will be in the initial public beta release. Those features will be listed as they become available to the user; just like the release date, I'm not going to promise specific features in case such features change for whatever reason.

In the meantime, we will continue working on improving the product.

That's all I wanted to hear. Seriously. Thanks.

[CanadianEh]

Good to know. Comminication is appreciated

Thanks, Andy!

[aperry]

Thanks for the update. Now, how about some screenshots? (just kidding)

[insomniac]

thank you for the communication.

I.

Great to hear something is going to happen!

[BerrantRyke]

Thanks for letting us know Sage isnt a dead product, and that v3 is not vaporware.

I'm assumming the private beta team consists of whomever they've used in the past, and the ones who bought the linux server PC? Just curious if those machines ever made it out.

[Opus4]

The private beta group consists of those who have been invited & who have accepted the invite. I don't have any details about the Linux system status.

You KNOW what everyone's next question would be, how does one get an invite .

I'm content to just let my system run as-is, and wait for the public beta's to come out.

it falls out of the sky and lands in your lap.

It's handed down through the generations, from parent to child...

my guess is that it would go to the people that have not yet bitched about their terrible communication yet. LOL

crap, im out...

[Opus4]

To get invited, you have to have the highest post count on the forum at some point. Good Luck!

Actually, I suppose it would be based on people's contributions to the SageTV user community... but that's just a guess since I don't make those decisions. (I just can't believe I wondered whether I really ought to accept the invite way back when...)

I officially promise to quit whining if I get invited. Dont make me spam this board worse than i already do, lol..

If it were offered to me, I'd probably pass on it. I record too much stuff during the "regular season", and if there was some glitch in their software that caused problems with that, it would be unacceptable. Of course, that is the nature of beta software...

So, Sage, please offer my invite to someone else...

[insomniac]

showoff.. :P

Sacrifice a virgin to the great god Narflex whilst dancing round a campfire wearing nothing but body-paint and USB cables

[Naylia]

i think the ceremony requires firewire cables and not usb if you really want it to work.

[mikejaner]

USB 2.0 only

[DynamoBen]

Its great to hear its not its way.

I will have to start preparing the wife for the fun that is beta
