So I want a frontend that I can,
1. Put like 8 or 9 tuners in my server and none in the htpc around the house.
2. Have metadata for my movies (currently using media browser with metabrowser)
The options I have found are
1. Sagetv - I installed the trial of this and after I added all my movies it took a really really long time to look at them, they never used the metadata, but it does use the tuners like I want with the media center on my server and clients at all the HTPC's $80 for the server and $30 for each TV.
2. BeyondTV - Have not installed yet hoping to figure out if it will use meta data, but price is about $10 more than sage total (90 for server 30 for client).
3. Media Portal - Setting up EPG just sucks.
Im on windows 7 and currently using media center with media browser. I keep loosing tuner function after sleeps and hibernates and have to reset it up which is a PITA. Also it sucks to set up recordings b/c I can not remote desktop into my server and open WMC to schedule.
So what would be my best option? Maybe I am setting up sage wrong I do not know.
