No reception from SageTV???

[joe2rule]

Last nite I ordered, installed and configured SageTV and Sage Client on the same box (see specs below):

Dell Percision 450
2xXEON 3.06
2GB DDR RAM
250GB Free Disk space
PVR250 - Satillite (coax connected to receiver)
ATI All in Wonder 9700 Pro - coax TWCable & SVideo to TV
Sound Blaster 512
Remote for ATI
Remote for PVR250

Installed Sage Server (no problems)
Installed Sage Client (no problems)

Client sees server, no problems but when I go to live TV, no picture, just static and cracks/pops for sound.

Tried a the options available in the setup, restarting the Sage Server and client everytime but no luck.

I know that the workstation is getting reception from both Satellite and Cable because:
1) WinTV2000 for the PVR 250 works great(when Sage isn't running)
2) ATI TV works also works great with the cable when Sage or PVR are not running.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!!! I really want to get this going...

When you say you tried the options in the Sage server can you be more specific? I would recommend trying different video decoders in Detailed Setup to see if that changes anything. After you make the decoder change, make sure you put SageTV to "sleep" and then wake it back up to test the new decoder. I would do all this testing with the server only and leave the client for now.

Another possibility is that the SageTV Server is not configured properly.
Since you have your Satelite connected to the PVR250 using Coax I assume
that you configured SageTV with the Correct Satelite Provider and selected
Antanae Constant Channel or something to that effect and have the correct channel specified.

Also I see you do not have a IR Blaster or Serial control for your satelite box for changing channels. You probably will want that. I use actisys with my digital cable box and it works great.
