CONFIGURATION:
After the initial install the first time you run sage (after you enter your registration key or start your 15-day trial) you run through a configuration wizard. SageTV automatically recognized my PVR350.
Next the setup wizard wanted to know which input I was going to use on the PVR350, in this case the TV tuner. Obviously if you were using S-Video from your cable box or the like, you'd probably want to select something more appropriate to your setup. It then wanted to know whether I was going to be using cable, antenna, or an external cable/satellite box.
The next screen lets you choose whether or not you want to enable the EPG (Electronic Program Guide). The EPG is integrated into SageTV and free if you are in the US. No ongoing subscriptions! Booyeah! In order to get the correct guide data, SageTV asks whether you will be using your tuner with cable/satellite or over the air antenna.
You then are prompted to enter your zipcode; after which a list of cable companies in your area is presented for you to identify the cable company to base the guide data from.
After downloading the guide data, SageTV needed to know which cable package I had, in this case I selected "Extended Basic".
I then needed to confirm which channels I indeed have or make any changes necessary (just for fun I nixed the Spanish channels and QVC - my TiVo thinks I want to watch sports scores in Spanish and that I need some abdominal help). Once those settings are confirmed it's rock and roll time.
