SageTV's Linux edition lacks first-class polish
,----[ Quote ]
| I am impressed with the functionality that SageTV 5 for Linux, OEM
| Edition, brings to media center PCs, but for two big reasons, I hope
| the company will devote additional resources to developing the Linux
| version into an equal to the Windows offering... SageTV's open source
| competition is already breathing down its neck; without adequate support
| from the company, the product could have a hard time differentiating
| itself and thriving.

| Here at OSWeekly.com, we're huge fans of the bootable Linux
| distributions. Therefore, when the quest of locating an easy to
| duplicate solution for PC beginners first came up, we figured early
| on that Linux would provide the solution based on the immense innovation
| that has taken place lately. Sure enough, the mini-distribution, known
| simply as KioskCD, appeared to meet our needs flawlessly. Small, free of
| any unneeded software and of course, totally customizable.

Your TV Guide under Linux!

| MTVG and XMLTV represent the perfect solution to get an updated TV
| schedule under Linux. It's fast, it's easy to configure and thanks to
| MTVG it's easy to browse and to use. You get notified for things you
| don't want to miss, the listings get updated automatically and, thanks
| to the way KDE sessions work, you can just take advantage of the MTVG
| system tray icon, have the application always run in the background
| and never think of it until you need it.
