I'm a long time MC & SageTV user. I'm also usually a very optimistic person but I don't think this bodes well for the SageTV user community.
We have been using MC for audio for a long time because of it's excellent sound quality, great organizing ability and responsive owners as well as a great helpful group on this forum. Have wanted to use MC for TV but we would find it very difficult to give up some of the add-ins available for SageTV such as Comskip.
A lot of the Sage users, and I would think also add-in developers who just donate their efforts, are very spooky right now about the future. Might this be a good time for JRiver to try to lure some of them to MC? There is a huge group there. If some of them were convinced that there is a good future for TV and video here it could be a win-win-win!
