Sick Beard is a PVR for newsgroup users (with limited torrent support). It watches for new episodes of your favorite shows and when they available, Sickbeard downloads, sorts and renames them. Sickbeard supports NZBs.org, NZBMatrix, NZBs’R’Us, Newzbin, Womble’s Index, NZB.su, TVTorrents, and EZRSS and retrieves show information from theTVDB.com and TVRage.com.
First, connect to your NAS server via SSH and navigate to : (you can change the “Downloads” folder by any share name you have) If the folder “.Apps” does not exist, navigate to your share: Then make the “.Apps” folder : Now download the Sickbeard from GitHub: when the downloading is complete, start the server : Now open your web browser and navigate to http://[NAS IP]:8081cd /mnt/pools/A/A0/Downloads/.Apps

How well does it work on this NAS? I am thinking about trying this out.
for me, it’s working great however the download speed is limited to +-6MBps.
Do you happen to know if this version of Sickbeard gets updated?
I know the install I have on my iMac I can update via the web UI, but this version I installed on my NAS doesn’t have that option.
Is there a way to check and update?
you can try to manually replace the files with the updated version on your “Downloads” share, the folder should be visible if you enable “show hidden files” in windows.
