If there are stutter issues it's more likely a result of the PC/device doing the playback and/or the codec. I have excellent playback on my dual-processor HTPC as well as my SageTV HD100 extender.Brent Evanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11336719205371313266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11976697.post-28975074460495915932008-07-18T12:04:00.000-05:002008-07-18T12:04:00.000-05:002008-07-18T12:04:00.000-05:00Hi Brent,Yep...

I wouldn't be surprised to see 6.4 go out of beta before too long. Bottom line selling the HD-PVR via SageTV is a great way to package things and a way to get the HD-PVRs faster than through the line that exists at Hauppauge. Thats my opinion for what its worth ;)Brent Evanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11336719205371313266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11976697.post-83838554362002700972008-07-18T11:23:00.000-05:002008-07-18T11:23:00.000-05:002008-07-18T11:23:00.000-05:00Sorry, that should read...

The last beta (v6.4.5) has some show stopper problems for OTA with a HDHomeRun (in my experience)... however it may be stable for the HD-PVR. It's just an odd (or at least not very conservative) move by SageTV.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14662431921877517203noreply@blogger.com
