Forget the dedicated SageTV-only hardware, just run it on whatever android-based hardware you can find…

But if little issues like this can be worked out, this will be a great solution. LibreELEC (short for Libre Embedded Linux Entertainment Center) is a non-profit fork of OpenELEC as an open source software appliance, a Linux-based Just enough operating system for the Kodi media player. So Im starting to learn how to use my Vero-4k - moving over from a SageTV HD300 unit. I do sometimes run into issues with it not wanting to play content, until I restart the application.

I’ve been testing with the Android app on a 1st Gen FireTV and it looks very good. The SageTV server does all the interface work, so you get the advantage of this working with all the plug-ins that work with the set-top boxes too… One developer has created an Android application that effectively emulates the original set-top box hardware. Of course, they aren’t bringing the hardware back, but that’s where the community comes in. You might then be able to imagine my excitement then when late last year (2015), Google open-sourced SageTV. Years went by, and while there were advances in other products, there’s still nothing as good as SageTV, in my opinion. There’s a plug-in if you like recording sporting events that will automatically extend the recordings if your events run over. It has a web interface that lets you do tons of stuff. Server: HP AMD64 dual core running Win7 64bit (MCE disabled) with 4G memory Tuners: 2 PVR-500(disabled), 3 HDHR and 1 HDPVR. Bringing in a SageTV Kodi backend would eliminate my need to run nPVR and be able to get the same functionality I have now without the extra overhead of running/maintaining two separate PVRs. I use the SageTV addon for watching my recorded content. It tracked the history of the shows you have watched, could automatically convert your recordings to other video formats to save space, and had a great interface (that is actively being developed further). I also use Kodi with a handful of other plugins so it has other uses for us as well.

If you want to install it manually, you can direct download from the platforms link that matches your platform then in. Simply look for the 'Get More' button in the Add-Ons menu. SageTV had commercial detection that worked very well. To download this Add-On, we highly recommend you do it via the user interface in Kodi. It’s still not as good of an experience as we had with SageTV. For the front-end of MythTV, I’ve been using Kodi on a FireTV, or (more recently) MrMC (a Kodi fork) on an AppleTV. I’ve been using MythTV for a year and a half, perhaps longer. Then Google bought them in 2011 and they stopped selling the hardware and software. It had a great plug-in system and lots of developers making custom interfaces and all sorts of extensions. What made it such a great system was that they also sold network connected set-top boxes to place around your house to watch the content.
