SageTV. You could hook up an HD cable box and record shows to a PC or server with a simple, intuitive interface for later viewing. Basically turned your PC or home server into an infinite PVR. It was wonderful. Google purchased and shuttered them a few years back. For a while I tried a regular pvr + Slingbox, but found it to be such garbage that I basically just stopped watching most sports rather than deal with the hassle of trying to use it. (For anything besides sports the streaming options work alright now.)

- tempestn 8y agoInteresting. I wonder if I still have the hardware around here somewhere. Not sure if it's worth the time at this point though.

- tempestn 8y agoDoesn't offer most cable sports though; with Sage I could record anything on cable and playback on any device.
