Friends of MissingRemote are sure to know our take on SageTV–it’s super powerful, and super customizable…basically a whole lotta fun. Toss in their Extenders and you can really have a whole-home system finally. The addition of this plugin looks really promising, and just another example of the SageTV community stepping up.

If you are the type of person that wants 100% control of the guide and configurations of it, then this cool little app is for you. It allows you to edit channel names, move around and a lot more.

July 1st Tru2way Deadline

Tru2Way is what us cablecard users have been begging and waiting for, as it will finally give us 2-way communication with the cable company through cablecard, and thus allow us to take advantage of Video-On-Demand, PPV, and many more features that are not possible with the one-way current cablecards.
