Is there a way to setup Sab to check multiple folders for .nzb files?

Set up a watch folder and then have sub folders that match your categories, ie tv & movies.
Drop a nzb into one of the sub folders and SAB will collect it and treat it as the subfolder name it came from (If that makes any sense).

Other than that, no.

Hope that helps

Technically, there is a way to do this, just not natively to Sab. You could make your watch folder to be on a DropBox/Onedrive/Google Drive/ etc... .. so you could put an NZB in the categories directory, and when you were to put an NZB in the folder which is a network drive, it's in a mutlple watchfolder scenario...
but other than that.. maybe if you had some sort of Distributed File System in Windows , maybe you could make SAB think it was a single directory structure that it's watching, but actually other services would be controlling what it would actually read in that directory.

I too would just like Sab to watch multiple folders instead of having to setup all this other mumbo-jumbo.

like separate multiple folders to watch with a semi-colon for example " ; ", ie, c:\my\watch\folder1\ ; \\nas\watch\folder2\ ; <Dropbox>\my\watch\folder3\
