SBDARecorder

Version 2.0 is now available!

This is a "network encoder" for SageTV that makes it possible to use DVB-T and DVB-C cards in Sage. It is based on the BDA architecture from Microsoft and should work with all DVB-T cards that are supported by Microsoft Media Center and all DVB-C cards with BDA drivers. But I will not guarantee that it will work with your card.

This project uses the GNU General Public License. A copy of this license is included with the downloads.

Requires SageTV version 2.1 or newer.

Tested cards:

Tested by me:

• FireDTV DVB-T with CI! (Yes this card can be used with Sage to watch encrypted channels! You must of course have a CAM and subscription from your provider. Tested with Boxer in Sweden.)
