Good news. At least you know there is a working combination.

I wonder...how does a rev. D MVP find its boot server in a "factory" 
setup? We know Hauppauge certainly doesn't have their users setup a 
custom configured DHCP server. And I didn't think the Hauppauge software 
includes a DHCP server (though it might). It seems likely that they have 
some made up protocol similar to the "relay service" used by the rev. H 
hardware.

I doubt the MVP bootloader is dependent on a license key from the Sage 
software.

I think if you want to find a permanent solution that avoids running the 
SageTV software you'll need to break out a packet sniffer (Wireshark) 
running on the machine with SageTV and see what packets are being exchanged.

So what's the problem with using SageTV to help bootstrap the MVP? Did 
you mention that it ends up with the wrong address for the TFTP server? 
If you've succeeded in getting mvpmc to boot, there should be a way to 
work around that. And if you can get a startup script to load via TFTP, 
you can forcibly set any other IP addresses you need.
