SageTV Opens to Blank Screen

[werneral]

Help! Was playing around with SageMC last night and in switching back and forth I decided to see what the Netflix_SageMC STV file, if I've got my terminology right. Anyway, since doing this Sage opens to a blank (or black) screen with a frozen circular progress indicator. Nothing happens from there and I can't access any menus.

To try and rectify this I've closed Sage down and copied my backup sage and sage.properties files in. No luck there, I get the same blank screen.

I'm using the latest and greatest, but couldn't verify exactly what that is because I can't open Sage properly.

Does Sage have a safe mode or something?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I'm dead in the water as it stands now.

TIA,

Al

Start>programs>SageTV>SageTV Service Control

Close Sage, Stop the service

Now restore your backup file

Start Service, start Sage

To clear out whatever STV was last loaded, just remove the STV property from sage.properties while SageTV is closed. (Or edit sageclient.properties if using service mode or a client; edit the appropriate file in the clients subfolder if using an extender or Placeshifter.)

If all else fails, remove the proeprties file & its .autobackup copy & redo your configuration.

Wow, thanks for the uber quick responses. I knew I was on the right track, but unfortunately I was playing around with the backup files as opposed to the working copies. Your responses got me sorted out...thanks much.
