Do add the Video Recording Directories you made a note of in Pre-Migration. Go through the setup wizard but don’t worry about setting up Video Sources in detail yet, we’ll add them later. If SageTV MC is still in DEMO mode, repeat. You shouldn’t be prompted for activation. If you use the SageTV service you’ll need to do the same for sagetvservice.exe…it’s available for download from the same forum page. Unzip sagetv.exe overwriting C:Program Files (x86)SageTVSageTVsagetv.exe. Visit the SageTV Forums and download the SageTV Media Center V7 executable (available here).
Sagetv 9 install#
Install this package, it will upgrade SageTV V6 to V7 but now SageTV MC will be in DEMO mode. Next, visit the SageTV Forums and download the SageTV Media Center V7.1.9 install package (available here). Once the activation is successful, you can close SageTV (we’ll go through the setup wizard later).
Sagetv 9 activation code#
When prompted, enter the activation code you were given when you purchased it. Download and Install SageTV Media Center V6. The process involved running a channel scan and previewing a few channels in the SiliconDust HDHR program, then running Arcsoft Media Extreme and test recording Comedy Central from my TWC cable box with the HD-PVR.
Sagetv 9 drivers#
I have the dual HDHR silicon dust QAM tuners and the Hauppauge HD-PVR, each of which come with different drivers and configuration software. Load vendor provided drivers for all of your capture devices and make sure each device works as expected. Re-connect any hard drives with Video content (and make sure they use the same drive letters as they did on your old system). Install any hardware device drivers that Windows 7 may not have recognized automatically (e.g.
Sagetv 9 pro#
I grabbed a $30 upgrade copy of Windows 7 Pro 圆4 and installed on the following hardware: Mine are just a bunch of Logical Volumes, (S:, T:, V:, W:, X:, Y:, Z:) each formatted with 64K Clusters and all they are for is SageTV Recordings. You’ll need to recreate them on the new DVR. Write down any and all SageTV MC Video Recording Directories.
Without this file, importing any existing recordings will be impossible. Wiz.bin contains the names and ID’s of all the shows you’ve got/ever watched. They contain your SageTV settings and your viewing history respectively.
This is likely overkill for most, but I had lots of undocumented SageTV customizations before the upgrade. I Acronis imaged my XP/SageTV 6 system so I could go back to copy files and settings later. It required lots of tweaking and research, so for those looking to upgrade. Upgrading/migrating three terabytes of existing shows, my viewing history and all my favorites from v6 on XP to v7 on Windows7 was a big project. SageTV development has picked up again and SageTV 9 is the first fully open source version of SageTV available here: True, development is at a standstill and technical support is more of a gesture now, but v7 is the best SageTV yet and I am still very happy with my homebrew SageTV DVR. That’s right, if you purchased SageTV Media Center v6, you get a free upgrade to v7 courtesy of Google. That’s bad for news for those looking to become new SageTV customers, but for those that already already own software, Google has an upgrade for free. SageTV was acquired by Google and you can’t buy its products anymore.
