Question on using SageTV Client with SageTV
So, I finally have my SageTV running solid for the logest time. I love it.

I want to install SageTV Client on the computer upstairs since that room does not have cable tv access. No wires into that room.

I downloaded and installed SageTV Client on the computer and so far all I am able to view are recorded shows. When I try to watch live TV all I get is a black screen.

Do I need to install an extra tuner card into my system? Which system? The client or the server? Does it matter which kind of card I install? Would it make any difference on which machine I put it on? Remember, I have no cable drop in the room where the second computer is at.

I know most of those questions hindges on the fact that I need to have a second tuner card. I seem to remember using the client with only 1 tuner card with ver 1.4, but I could be wrong.

Any help please.

The second computer is just a p4 2.4g with an ATI 128 Ultra w/ 32 Megs.
Server is a AMD 2500+ (oc'd to 3200+) with 1Gig Mem, ATI 9800Pro, Haup PVR250.

Thanks!
AlexM.

You should be able to watch LiveTV with one tuner I do this all the time. The only thing is you not watch two different live shows on each computer. What decoders do you have on the other computer ???

So, if I want to watch a live show on each computer I will need two tuners?

I have the NVidia and Intervideo Decoders installed on both computer. It doesnt give me any errors when trying to vew live tv, just a black screen.

If you want to watch different live shows on both then yes.

If you want to watch the same show then you only need one. You can also watch a pre-recorded show on one and liveTh on the other wiith only 1 tuner.

If I can just pop in here... So as I understand it, I don't need a tuner in the client machine(s) to watch live TV or SAGETV recordings. If I want to watch a different live channel then what the server it showing, then I need a second tuner in the server (not the client) Does this mean that I can change channels on the server from the client location when watching live TV??

Yes you can as long as the server is not watching liveTV.
