Which STV is right for me/you
I've decided to post a poll that compares the various .STVs to help me with my decision. I have been trying out SageMC, but it has a few bugs and little things that are missing. So, while I keep an eye out on your comments I will try Meekell's. Hopefully you guys can help me make the right decision for my needs.
Feel free to post your suggestions on the bottom and let me know if I missed any important STVs in the poll. I am just basing this off the thread by Opus4. These STV Please only vote if you have atleast tried these customizations. Make sure and leave feature specific comments ie: "This STV lacked showing the Watched Icon in the Guide." (you get the point). Your choices:

FYI SageMC should not have any bugs at this point. If you find some post in the forum. There is a good chance it is just new user error. Also, for each thing that is missing, there are several other things added. At that point is is just user choice.

I am still running 2.8 but planning to finally upgrade to 4.1. I've been running Cayars and I really like it. I don't really use any of the advanced features like external apps etc. Basically the things I really find useful:
- full integrated comskip - multiple views and easy navigation for the recordings list -- i especially liked the view with shows listed on the left, and individual episodes on the right, with watched episodes automatically moved to the bottom (even if newer) - disk free space indicator - first run / watched indicators visible everywhere, including the guide - good conflict information/resolution I have tried SageMC (with 2.8 only). I like the look of SageMC, but I find the navigation overly simplistic, and that it sacrifices info for "cleanness" too much. I prefer the extra info and hierarchical style views in Cayars more. This is just a matter of taste. With 4.1, I am looking for something similar to Cayars. Don't need any extras like weather/RSS or DVD library support, though. Comskip, good nav, and a good balance between amount of info immediately visible and "cleanness".

I've been having alot of random problems with SageMC... I am not sure if it is truely the STV's fault though. I think it may be something weird with my hard drives failing or something.
What happens is i will randomly lose menus in areas (for instance today when i selected "set don't like" it ended up with a small bubble of nothing instead of "set like" like it should). The little SageTV icon was left spinning for ages, and the CPU was maxed out. Had to CTRL-ALT-DEL (man they should make that a button on my remote)

Yay for the two votes!
I wouldn't even imagine that I'd (GermSage) be on the LIST, nevermind have someone other than me chime in on it. GermSage is just a little personal project to mold my PVR into something that I want, but that a small handful of people wanted too. It's not worthy! It's not worthy! But thanks for the consideration! Cheers, -Greg
