How Frequent are SageTV Software & Firmware Updates?

SageTV Logo

During the recording of the HTPCentric podcast we discussed the frequency of software and firmware updates from SageTV.  I knew it was pretty frequent, but I wasn’t honestly sure how often they came along.  So I looked back over the past year which presumably also included many private beta’s we don’t see – especially with the move to SageTV 7.  Even with that the updates are amazingly often!

With SageTV 7.0 we’ve had nine public betas in the past four months.  That’s a lot of bugs getting squashed and feature improvements being added.

  • 7.0.18 RC2 09/30/2010
  • 7.0.17 RC1 09/23/2010
  • 7.0.16 09/02/2010
  • 7.0.15 08/11/2010
  • 7.0.14 08/05/2010
  • 7.0.13 08/04/2010
  • 7.0.12 07/15/2010
  • 7.0.11 06/15/2010
  • 7.0.10 06/03/2010
  • 7.0.09 5/20/2010 First public beta of SageTV 7
  • 6.6.2 10/07/2009 Mac & Snow Leopard
  • 6.6 Release Windows, Mac & Linux
  • 6.5.20 07/09/2009
  • 6.5.19 07/02/2009
  • 6.5.18 07/09/2009
  • 6.5.17 07/09/2009
  • 6.5.16 06/23/2009
  • 6.5.15 06/09/2009

Add to that the roughly nine firmware updates for the SageTV HD300 and you get the picture – these SageTV developers are a busy bunch of folks.
