Reliability of Sage Recorder as Network Encoder?

Hi again,
well I am hitting a wall with trying to get Sage Recorder to control my cable box from SageTV server. SO, what I am wondering is how stable you guys have found running Sage Recorder as network encoders with the latest beta? I ran 2 tuners a few days back with RC2 BUT it seemed to either cause conflicts on my favs or some sort of other network error occured cause it failed to record several shows on the same evening.
Anyone else having problems with network encoders failing to record?
I don't wanna go in this direction if it causes huge additional problems.
Patrick

My two network encoders have run flawlessly through the beta's, however, I am just using the tuners on the cards. I am not controlling external cable boxes.

My friend runs one network encoder and has the same to report.

I have a total of 4 tuners so those two probably only get used about 10 hours a week but nothing bad yet.... fingers crossed.

This is not a feature lots of people use though and would love to hear some others experiences.

Well because I have all PVR 250 16 revisions I have to use the PVR 350 in the box by itself, so this problem with changing channels on the cable box may force me to have the 3 tuners as network encoders, this worries me.
