OTA - Sage vs BTV vs MCE

[snoop244]

I can't get my head around this. I live in Toronto. I was a long-time Sage user but moved to MCE about 8 months ago. I recently added OTA HD and I get all the Canadian OTA channels and the Buffalo ones. I am lucky. Unfortunately, I have only had it working in the Fusion HDTV software. I have read all of the threads in the key forums for Sage, BTV and MCE and it seems setting it up in either of the three is daunting. Beyond getting the card to actually work in one of these programs, I also want to make sure I can get the guide data for bot the US and Canadian OTA stations. Its a show-stopper if I can't get the guide data up.

I use the FusionHDTV 3 Gold-T, which is claimed to work in all of these programs as far as I can tell.

My preference is to use Sage, because the quality of the forum and community support is head and shoulders above the others. Before I go through the hassle of getting the Fusion card to work, is Sage the best choice? Again, I'm strictly worried about whether it will function and whether the guide will work for me.

Thanks,
S.

I can't specifically speak to the operation of your OTA card, but sage is definately the best.

I have used both MCE and BTV and for me Sage edges them out.
