I run SageTV at home, under Windows XP. The setup is the following:

2 Hauppauge 150 TV Tuners connected to cable TV (I could have used a dual tuner card instead)

SageTV Service

3 Computers running SageTV Client Software

3 Televisions connected to Hauppauge MediaMVP (serves as a Media Center extender and has a RJ-45 network jack and composite TV connections

I can watch TV on any of the above devices. I also have 1 placeshifter license on a laptop. That allows me to view TV and recordings when I am on the road, like the Slingbox.

So, the answer to your question is that likely you would put the TV cards in the Home Server. You can watch/record as many channels simultaneously as you have TV tuners.

I have read several things regarding SageTV, yet I still do not understand it. Does the add in allow me to install a tuner in my home server and allow it to record TV from it? If it does, that is what I am looking for. This would eliminate the need of an extra machine on my network that is only recording TV. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jim W,

You don’t need to put a TV tuner into your WHS if you don’t want to. You can still use the other media functions.

Phillip, how does this work? Do you put a TV tuner in your WHS? The documentation isn’t very clear.
