SageTV and Sat Receivers

[Hotliner]

ok..


I'm looking at using SageTv as my main source for everything in the house (Central Server)

I need a recommended Video capture card that would work in a FTA scenario

i have two nFusion boxes and Two Sonicview units

I have the 2 sagetv media extenders also

I'd like to be able to view live TV and recorded shows.. in addition I'd like to be able to change the channels on my FTA's through SAGE

Any thoughts

Cheers

HD PVRs for each tuner if the receivers are HD.

If your receivers are SD then you could use any capture device that can take coax, s video or RCA input.

For channel changes on the receivers you can use a USB UIRT. The USB UIRT supports tuning 3 separate boxes. The USB UIRT is able to learn IR codes, however I don't know if anyone has used it with your receivers.

I used to use a VS FTA box but have now switched to 2 Dish ViP211 receivers with 2 HD PVRs and the USB UIRT to change channels.

Hopefully this gets you started.
