A New Skin and Commercial Skipping

Last night, I applied a new skin to the SageTV interface. The interface is known as SageMC. A really good description of the interface, and instructions on its installation, can be found here at the Geektonic web site.

I have also tried installing the commercial skipping software, again with the help of this article at Geektonic. I have yet to test this feature

One of the major problems I have identified with SageTV is a lack of documentation. Sure, they do have a basic manual available, but I really wish that there was some more extensive step by step instructions for importing media and configuring features.

Sage appears to be a small company, yet they produce impressive software and hardware. It seems a shame that no one has stepped up to the plate to create comprehensive online documentation to support new users. Creating documentation is much cheaper and easier than writing software, or designing and manufacturing hardware.
