There is quite a bit of news about WHS floating around this week.
Rick at One Man Shouting has this to say:
Lots of Software partner announcements as well. The most interesting in my opinion is the SageTVintegration. Basically you can pump all your media to your Home Server, including PVR functionality, and use simple extenders to deliver your content anywhere. I’m not sure if SageTV allows for live TV watching, but it’d be awesome to move to a model where the only TV tuners in the home were connected to the Home Server, and all your channels and saved content were available to any TV, PC, or portable device.
Wish I’d thought of that. It makes great sense. And since my Server is in the Office/TV Room adding a tuner or two and hooking it up to the ariel would be trivial. Not sure if SageTV works in the UK with Freeview or not but its definately something worth investigating.
The SageTV website has this to say:
Enjoy all your TV, Video, Music or Photos anytime, anywhere using SageTV Placeshifter to connect to your Windows Home Server from any broadband connection
Connect your TVsat home to SageTV on Windows Home Server with SageTV Media Extender

Now if I can just get the Antivirus sorted out…
Here is the Press Release
