Proper procedure for upgrading from 2.x to 4?
Hello,
looking forward to installing/using the newest version (4.0). I am currently running 2.2.7 and am wondering what the right/best way to do the upgrade is. I will make a complete backup of the Sage directory, but then do I install over the top of 2.x or alongside, or uninstall first? Any thoughts appreciated. Tom S.

Different directories?
2.2.7 was my only install, so I haven't done any upgrades yet. I read in the beta forums the (default?) install directory has changed from c:\program files\frey technologies\... to c:\program files\sagetv
Will this affect the upgrade at all, or do I just specify the old directory and off I go? Thanks, Tom

It should automatically see where the current version is installed, if you install over the top of the old version w/o removing it first. But, just check during installation & set the directory if needed.

It shouldn't really matter whether you uninstall first, but if you keep your existing data files, the new version will still have all your old recordings, viewing history, favorites, etc. That is the biggest reason not to install to a completely new directory.
Edit: I never uninstall either.  - Andy

I didn't see a thread specifically discussing the new release.
Is it a free upgrade from 2.x? Where can I find the official list of changes between 2.x and 4? I wonder why they used 3.x only for the beta...

SageTV has an uninstall?!
Why would you want to do that?
