hello
i need help with this.
here what i have sagetv 6.1 ,ati radeon all in one ve.,512mb ram ,pentuim d(dual core),dishnetwork 301,and mce remote what do i need to get it to work together...

A lot of time and patience. Which ATI raedon do you have? Is it a supported tuner card for Sage? 512MB of RAM would be the very bare minimum in my mind, you would most likely get a snappier system with 1GB.

all in one wonder 9200 ve.
comes up in sage a ati radeon theatre

I am guessing then, you will need to hook the Dish tuner to the AIW with s-video and use an IR repeater to change the channels on the tuner using your MCE remote and Sage.

IR repeater????

[kricker]

You need to be able to have Sage change the channels on the tuner. In order to do that you'll need an IR repeater to send a signal to the tuner unless you can control the tuner via rs232 or firewire.

mce has a ir blaster
can't i use it?

Also see the similar question posted here, particularly the info about the USB-UIRT and the difference between software and hardware encoders, if your ATI card is a software encoder.

Oh, an MCE blaster: there should be links in one or more stickies at the top of this hardware forum regarding using the MCE IR blaster -- SageTV does not use that blaster directly, but I believe there are ways to get it to work.
