Supposedly, some of the providers are adding some type of watermark as well.

It is super fast. Tested a 2 hour movie took 5 minutes.

You are right. I never went into setting to change the download speed.

I am just a user and have no idea how the program actually works but they have stated many times in their forum that it is a downloader.
below is link to a sticky in their forum:

Maybe it uses the same logic that you use when you download a movie to a tablet for later viewing ... I noticed it post processes the movie probably to put it into a regular mp4.

SageTV forever
Antenna is my world. I'm preparing to move my SageTV to new hardware that supports enough RAM for up to date SAGE 9 64 bit and Java heap sizes. Before doing it I'm looking around at other options for Antenna DVR with Sage features supporting 6 tuners and not finding anything so far.
Also figuring out replacing Windows Home Server features I use daily so I can retire that box. My Sage TV runs on this WHS. It seems at the moment the solution involves a NAS with bare metal backup software such as synology with Active Backup. Supplies backup, data storage and remote access. I guess Sage TV has to run on a separate box. So I need two boxes to replace Windows home server. Sage TV is simple to use, Always works, Always has way more than I have time to watch recorded and available when I want to watch. So far Streaming via Nvidea Shield is horribly inefficient compared to using SageTV with HD300. Streaming on Shield or my phone seems to be a Pain in the a.. A zillion apps that are near useless without subscriptions and a pain to access things with horrible remote control features and ads that can't be sped up jumped or skipped. Friend using amazon fire encountered loads of frustration last time I was over. Couldn't get what he wanted us to watch which he paid for to play. |

IMO the way to go is SageTV on unRAID. unRAID is a NAS OS and you can more easily pick your own hardware. It requires less maintenance than Windows - I haven't updated mine in a few years which is probably both a good and bad thing. You can run SageTV in dockers and you can run all kinds of other stuff in dockers as well - Plex, Unifi controller, Torrent clients, etc. It works especially well if you are using HDHRs as tuners as they are network devices rather than needing drivers.

And if you use comskip and/or transcoding, a commercial NAS unit may run out of gas. With Unraid, you have a lot of options in terms of hardware power.

Yes I do use comskip. Good point. So an energy efficient NAS for mass storage, media, bare metal backup and remote access along with a second higher performance computer for Sage recorded TV and processing with comskip makes sense.
I have a lot of catching up learning to do if not installing on windows. Looking at troubleshooting posts here about configuring to use sage on docker I'm not immediately seeing how this will be simpler than installing sage on say, a desktop Linux os or windows. And yet I read here that there is a docker with sage and comskip already setup... But I don't find it. Wish there was (maybe there is?) a general outline of the steps to do to setup sage on unraid and docker. I'd have no problem downloading and installing sage on windows. I've installed various Linux distros and then not really used them except to poke around and install a few packages. Installing unraid looks similar. I notice unraids limitation with regard to the parity disk being your largest disk and you can never add a disk larger than the parity disk thus I would not want to use it as a NAS. That seems like a huge disadvantage compared to my Brothers experience upping storage on his Synology. There ends my non windows knowledge. |

Oh, and I forgot one other very important point. I have been using a NAS at home for well over 20 years, I am currently using a seven year old 4-bay QNAP device. I have three bays setup in a RAID-5 configuration, the fourth bay is used for a weekly backup of the RAID-5 array. Now here's the important part: since I have irreplaceable files (e.g. home videos of my children growing up) stored on the NAS, in the event of hardware failure, I can take that single disk out of the fourth drive bay and access all of the files from any Linux workstation. I can have full access to any of those files within 15 minutes or so after the NAS hardware failure. I'm not sure how long it would take me to access files off the disks in the RAID array, nor do I want to find out.
As far as my Unraid server, since I only use it for media files, I am not as concerned about data loss. But, if the parity drive dies, I still have access to all of the files in the storage array. If one of the drives in the storage array dies, I still have access to all of the files in the storage array due to the parity protection. If two drives fail simultaneously, I lose only the data on those two drives, the data on the other drives remain accessible. If the hardware fails, I can either swap in new hardware, or connect the storage array drive(s) to a Linux workstation and I immediately have access to all of the data on that drive.
