SageTV Save to Memory First, then Disk
Can one specify how much SageTV captures to memory (main memory) first before it writes to Disk?
The reason I am asking, is that memory today is cheap. I can get 1-2 gigs of main memory faily cheap for my SageTV PC server. The advantage here is that the hard drive could go to sleep for a while (30-60 minutes) while the recordings are going to main memory first - like a large cache. Also, I would imagine faster service. Of course, heavy use and multiple recordings would affect the performance.

Well...currently the product does not work this way and as a developer I can say that the Directshow interface that is used does not really lend itself to this kind of behavior. Don't get me wrong they could implement this, but I seriously doubt most people would be interested in this. I know personally I would rather have all the data to disk ASAP. It is pretty rare, but I would rather not lose a bunch shows if SageTV Crashes because it was buffering all the video in memory. I know I am far from normal with 6 tuners...but hey it is a whole house Video on Demmand server.
