I'm going to revisit Sage, PC hardware is really cheap now & re-watching this I forgot how awesome Sage was, Except for the crashing I had experienced it was hands down the best DVR I had ever used & had some features I've never seen on any other dvr before.
That would be nice, I just shared the Sage video directory so my XBMC could play the videos from the sage box, Also can be done with the 360 using Tversity, But I'm not a fan of recompressing realtime streaming, I'd rather have more quality. So I don't really like streaming with tversity. I quit with the sage box for now, Sometime I hope to setup a system just for XBMC on pc, Hopefully it will soon have tuner support so it will be a nice all in one media center.
It has a ATI radeon 9600 Atlantis Saphire AGP video card that has composite & S-Video output, I used the S-Video output & a 3.5mm Headphone to RCA adapter for the sound.
I loved it at first but have had bad experience with it since shooting this video, It will run 3 days to a week then I need to reset the pc because Java keeps freezing.
Basically SageTv is PVR software for your pc works much like a Tivo or ReplayTv & many people have great success with it but maybe it just doesn't like my hardware. I'm thinking of switching back to my replayTv as I have just added a 500gb drive in it.
If there is anything any wants to know about it just ask.
7:37 Compression & converting options, Awesome feature in my opinion.

i run sagetv on a 2gb pc, no problems.
i use s-video tv-out connection from pc to my old tv.
pc tv-tuner is hauppauge hd-pvr
I also use XBMC to stream video from pc to tv (xbmc functions as extender via ethernet).
the xbox gives slightly better video quality than pc (the tv-out chip in my nvidia 7900 is not as good as the xbox tv-out chip).

Too bad Sage can't use XBOX for an extender. :(

Are you going to talk / explain a little to us who are not familiar with SageTV?
