Guide: Migrating SageTV from XP to Windows 7 (64-bit)

jmke · 17th February 2010, 10:28

This would involve not only upgrading the OS from one version to another, but a simultaneous change from 32-bit to 64-bit... all while attempting to maintain my theater setup, which includes SageTV with SageMC, a USB-UIRT, a Harmony 880, and then there's Windows Home Server. Keep in mind that because I have a client/server setup, I don't need to worry about SageTV "losing" my recordings or its wiz.bin database during this upgrade. For me, all of that critical information is safe on my server (and backed up nightly). However, if you do not fall into this group, SageTV has a great FAQ which covers just about every scenario. So, will this adventure turn out to be a piece of cake or cruel and unusual punishment? Actually, you might be surprised.
