| - = Appendix N: SageTV Placeshifter Client = SageTV’s Placeshifter Client can be used to connect to your SageTV system via a network connection, either locally or via the internet while away from home. It allows the full SageTV User Interface to be used at a remote location, with media playback over the internet possible, including playback of live or recorded TV shows. === SageTV Placeshifter Client Installation === Run the Placeshifter Client installer on any system where you wish to use it, then follow the onscreen instructions. === Registering Placeshifter Licenses === In order to use the SageTV Placeshifter Client past the trial usage period, a license key must be entered on the SageTV server for each Placeshifter to be used simultaneously. To enter your license, on a Windows SageTV server system, go to the Windows Start button, then select All Programs > SageTV > Register SageTV Media Extender License. Enter your license in the dialog that appears. To enter your license, on a Mac SageTV server system, go to System Preferences > SageTV > Licenses. Select the plus (+) symbol to add an additional license. Note: It is recommended that you exit SageTV on the server computer before entering a Placeshifter license. (If using service mode, stop the service.) Note: The Placeshifter Client uses the same type of license as the Media Extender. See Appendix M: SageTV Media Extenders. === Enable the Placeshifter Server === To enable your SageTV server to act as a Placeshifter Server, enable the SageTV Server option in the Detailed Setup: Server Settings menu and make sure the Media Extender and Placeshifter Server is also enabled on that screen. === Enable Remote Access to your SageTV server === For the Placeshifter Client to be able to access your SageTV server from a remote location, it must be able to connect through your firewall/router. SageTV can setup this connection via the Configure Placeshifter Internet Connection configuration wizard in the Detailed Setup: Server Settings menu. Notes: The configuration wizard will open and forward port 31099 to the computer that is running the SageTV server. See Firewall Settings for more port information.
